Metaplanet has revised down its full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending December 2026. Revenue has been lowered to ¥6.5 billion from the previous forecast of ¥16 billion, while operating profit has been cut to ¥3 billion from ¥11.4 billion. The decision to forgo planned fundraising is cited as the reason.
Metaplanet has revised its consolidated full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending December 2026, lowering revenue from ¥16 billion to ¥6.5 billion and operating profit from ¥11.4 billion to ¥3 billion. Both figures are substantially below the initial forecast.
The revision is due to the company’s decision not to carry out the fundraising assumed in the initial forecast. Under its policy of prioritizing an increase in its Bitcoin holdings, the company decided not to proceed with measures such as issuing new shares through capital raising. As a result, the scale of its acquisition and income-generating businesses fell short of initial expectations.
The company says it will maintain its Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy, and has indicated that it will continue to allocate capital with a focus on increasing the amount of Bitcoin held per share.
