This move brings the company&#8217;s total Bitcoin holdings to 35,102 BTC, valued at around $3 billion. Metaplanet&#8217;s strategy involves a hybrid model of Bitcoin treasury and income business, with a focus on generating revenue through option-based strategies.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s Bitcoin Income Generation business has seen rapid growth, with revenue reaching 8.58 billion Japanese yen (about $54 million) in 2025. This growth is driven by Metaplanet&#8217;s use of option-based strategies, which involve selling options, earning premiums, and cycling those trades to generate recurring cash flow. The company&#8217;s core long-term BTC stash remains untouched, with a separate pool of Bitcoin used for these strategies.<\/p>\n<h2>Metaplanet&#8217;s Bitcoin Accumulation Strategy<\/h2>\n<p>Metaplanet&#8217;s income arm has experienced a quarterly compounded growth rate of approximately 57% since the fourth quarter of 2024. Revenue increased from roughly $4.3 million in Q4 2024 to approximately $26.5\u2013$27 million in Q4 2025. This growth is a testament to the company&#8217;s successful implementation of its hybrid model.<\/p>\n<p>Metaplanet acquires 4,279 BTC.

This shift comes amid a wider squeeze on Bitcoin treasury names facing NAV discounts, index pressure, and delisting risk. Metaplanet is still reviewing the impact of the Bitcoin Income Generation results on its consolidated earnings forecast and plans to update guidance once the assessment is complete.<\/p>\n<h3>Comparison to Other Companies<\/h3>\n<p>Metaplanet&#8217;s playbook echoes the same storyline as MicroStrategy&#8217;s hyperactive 2025 campaign, which closed out the year with another 1,229 BTC purchase. MicroStrategy has framed its 2025 activity as part of a long-term program to steadily add Bitcoin using a mix of equity and debt issuance, positioning BTC as its primary treasury reserve asset.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Metaplanet&#8217;s Bitcoin investment and income generation strategy, readers can visit <a href=https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/metaplanet-adds-450m-in-late-december-buys-ending-2025-above-35-000-btc?utm_source=rss_feed&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound >Here<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Smart Tip for Readers<\/h2>\n<p>When investing in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, it&#8217;s essential to understand the company&#8217;s investment strategy and risk management practices to make informed decisions.
