Disclosure of operational income from bitcoin proceeds

At the same time, the company disclosed the business performance of bitcoin during the second fiscal year. During the current season, the business earned approximately Yen 17.47 billion, or approximately US$ 10.85 million, and the cumulative operating income of Yen 47.17 billion, or US$ 29.3 million, in the first half of the financial year 2026.

Metaplanet's alleged business in bitcoin revenue is mainly the acquisition of continuous revenue through bitcoin options, while continuing to expand corporate currency holdings. Based on the last 12 months, this business earned approximately 11.4 billion yen.

So that the power strategy goes hand in hand with the expansion of the treasury.

From the point of view of disclosure, Metaplanet does not simply buy in and hold, but combines the Bitcoin Treasury strategy with the option revenue in an attempt to create a regular cash flow during the build-up process. This also means that the company ' s current secure asset layout is not only an asset allocation exercise, but is also extending to a stand-alone line of business.
