Metaplanet has published its financial results for Q2, demonstrating significant revenue growth from Bitcoin operations and strengthening its position in the global market.
Revenue Growth and Market Position
Metaplanet reported a 42% quarter-over-quarter increase in revenue from its Bitcoin operations, significantly outpacing the projected 5% growth rate for the S&P 500. With 13,350 BTC now under its control, the company has risen to fifth place among public companies holding Bitcoin, surpassing Tesla and CleanSpark.
Risk Management Strategy
Rather than relying solely on spot market purchases, Metaplanet has pursued a strategy of selling cash-secured Bitcoin put options. These options generate steady income while enabling the company to grow its holdings once they expire or are exercised. The firm highlighted that all contracts were fully collateralized and carefully managed to mitigate risk.
Future Plans and Conclusion
The Q2 results position Metaplanet well ahead of its forecast for annual revenue of ¥3.4 billion, with ¥3.0 billion expected from its Bitcoin income division alone. CEO Simon Gerovich celebrated the performance, indicating that the company’s approach can serve as a model for Bitcoin-centric corporate finance as institutional confidence in crypto continues to grow.
