Metaplanet's Stock Rebounds 20% Despite 70% Correction, Bitcoin Strategy Pays Off
Metaplanet, a tech giant, has seen its stock price correct by 70% from its peak this year, despite strong business performance. The company's latest rally has seen its shares surge by 20% in two days, breaking a downward trend. Metaplanet's CEO, Simon Gerovich, has drawn a parallel with Amazon's early days after the dotcom bubble.
The company's recent success can be attributed to its strategic Bitcoin accumulation. Metaplanet's Bitcoin reserves have grown to 30,823 BTC, placing it fourth among publicly traded holders worldwide. This move has paid off, with Bitcoin revenues in the third quarter of 2025 reaching 2.44 billion yen, a 115.7% increase from the previous quarter.
Metaplanet's annual revenue forecast for 2025 has doubled to 6.8 billion yen, driven by strong Q3 growth and Bitcoin volatility monetization. The operating profit forecast has also increased by 88% to 4.7 billion yen. Despite these positive indicators, investors remain cautious due to potential stock price volatility, dilution from new issuance, regulatory uncertainties, and macroeconomic factors.
Metaplanet's stock price has rebounded, but investors are advised to consider the risks alongside the company's solid operational fundamentals. The company's Bitcoin strategy has proven successful, but the future remains uncertain due to various external factors.
