Metaplanet’s third-quarter 2026 financial report says the company held 44,000 BTC as of September 30, up 1,000 BTC from the end of June, and recorded a quarterly BTC Yield of 11.3%. According to Foresight News, Metaplanet cut its 2026 revenue forecast to about $41.4 million from about $102 million and lowered its operating profit outlook to about $19.11 million from about $72.61 million. During the quarter, the company bought 11,000 BTC, sold 10,000 BTC to demonstrate liquidity, and later repurchased 11,000 BTC. The sale resulted in a loss of about $122 million, or 19.2 billion yen. For the first three quarters, revenue was about $37.55 million, up 30.5% year over year, while operating profit reached about $22.14 million, up 26.5%. Metaplanet reported a net loss attributable to shareholders of about $173 million, compared with a profit in the same period last year. The loss was mainly due to non-operating losses from Bitcoin valuation changes and sales.
