Metaplanet welcomes profits, and options create BTC income as an important source of company profits

Japanese micro-strategy Metaplanet has announced its latest financial report, welcoming its first profit in six years, and the stock price has surged by 13%. The stock price has risen by 4,330% in one year.

Metaplanet has made a profit! Bitcoin has contributed a lot

Metaplanet, which originally operated a guesthouse, announced last April that it would emulate Microstrategy ( and has now renamed itself Strategy), shifting towards a Bitcoin financial strategy, which has brought amazing returns to shareholders. In the 2024 fiscal year, Metaplanet achieved its first operating profit since 2017, and the hotel also turned a profit in 2024, recording operating income of 1.02 billion yen. However, the real source of profit is Bitcoin, which brought the company 687 million yen, equivalent to approximately 4.47 million US dollars, in operating income in the fourth quarter, accounting for 65% of the annual revenue.

Options trading creates Bitcoin profits

Metaplanet uses flexible trading with options to generate income for the company in addition to the appreciation of purchased Bitcoin spot, including selling Bitcoin put options and roll-up trades, increasing revenue by collecting option premiums. Metaplanet calls it 'target buying' because even if forced to execute, it is buying Bitcoin spot, emphasizing that this is another way to acquire Bitcoin. The financial report states that the company will continue to allocate approximately 5% of funds raised to this strategy.
