Responding to it, Gerovich wrote: “Bitcoin is the key.” Another major reason behind this stock rally this week is the impressive Q1 results reported by the Japanese firm. The operating revenue for Metaplanet has shot up to JPY 877 million.
The Japanese firm attributed its record-breaking earnings to a robust Bitcoin strategy. Since January 1, 2025, the company has expanded its Bitcoin holdings by 4.4 times, adding 6,038 BTC to bring its total to 7,800 BTC.
Apart from the strong performance on Tokyo Stock Exchange, the company’s US-listed stock MTPLF also saw record trading activity yesterday.
