Japanese corporate giant Metaplanet dropped a bang in its 2025 financial earnings presentation.
Despite a staggering 1,892% increase in Bitcoin assets over the past year, the company reported a massive net loss of ¥95 billion ($619 million).
The brutal valuation loss of $665.8 million in its Bitcoin holdings proves that while HODLing is a great monument, it is an accounting nightmare for publicly traded companies.
Aggressive gathering in a bear trap
Metaplanet spent the better part of 2025 implementing a Bitcoin-only treasury policy, closing the year with 35,102 BTC. This brought them to the position of the fourth owner of Bitcoin worldwide.
However, their latest multibillion-yen purchase coincided with the Warsh Shocks and subsequent slide below the $90,000 mark. The market reacted with cold pragmatism: despite the stability of the company, the shares are punished, because investors understand that “Bitcoin Premium” works only when the chart works up and to the right.
A story of resilience
Metaplanet effectively has the entire farm thinking that the long-term weakness of the Japanese yen will make Bitcoin a must-have way of life. For now, however, the “Tokyo turtle” is firmly tucked into its shell, waiting for a market reversal that some analysts fear will be months away.
