1. Earnings Overview and Highlights

For the first half (H1) of the fiscal year ending December 2026, Metaplanet recorded significant growth in both revenue and operating profit, more than doubling compared to the same period last year.

• Revenue : 4,944 million JPY (+133.7% YoY)
• Operating Profit : 3,331 million JPY (+136.3% YoY)
• Progress against FY2026 Forecasts : 30.9% of the 16,000 million JPY revenue target and 29.2% of the 11,400 million JPY operating profit target.

Driven by the steady expansion of its core Bitcoin-related business, the company has demonstrated substantial growth at the operating profit level, which reflects the profitability of its primary operations. While the H1 progress against full-year forecasts stands at approximately 30%, the company's revenue structure is heavily dependent on capital procurement and the pace of Bitcoin accumulation; therefore, progress in procurement and operations throughout the second half will be closely monitored.

2. Bitcoin Valuation Gains/Losses and Accounting Net Income Structure

To understand the company's financial results, it is crucial to distinguish between "operating performance" and "net income including accounting valuation gains/losses."

• Ordinary Profit (after valuation adjustments) : -182,874 million JPY (compared to a profit of 10,565 million JPY in the same period last year)
• Net Income Attributable to Owners of Parent : -182,774 million JPY (compared to a profit of 6,059 million JPY in the same period last year)

The expansion of the net loss is primarily due to the booking of 18.42 billion JPY in valuation losses (non-cash items) resulting from the mark-to-market valuation of Bitcoin at the end of the period. The company has not sold its Bitcoin holdings, and this valuation loss is merely an accounting impact without any cash flow implications.

Looking at the trend of BTC NAV (Net Asset Value) , which represents the intrinsic value, it shifted from 48.14 billion JPY at the end of 2025 to 40.94 billion JPY as of the end of June 2026 after accounting for valuation losses and foreign exchange adjustments (1.25 billion JPY). Furthermore, reference data as of August 12, 2026, shows a recovery to 43.43 billion JPY .

3. Revenue Trends by Segment

Breaking down the consolidated results by segment clarifies that the company's growth engine is concentrated in its Bitcoin-related business .

1. Bitcoin-related Business : Revenue of 4,742.8 million JPY , Operating Profit of 4,279.1 million JPY
   • This is the core segment, generating over 95% of group revenue and the vast majority of operating profit.
2. Hotel Business : Revenue of 201.8 million JPY , Operating Profit of 71.6 million JPY
   • While showing a slight decline compared to the same period last year (Revenue 212.2 million JPY, Operating Profit 82.1 million JPY), it continues to generate steady operating profit.

4. Bitcoin Holdings and Global Positioning

Metaplanet's most distinctive feature, its cumulative Bitcoin holdings, continues to grow at an accelerating pace. From a mere 141 BTC in Q2 2024, the company reached 13,350 BTC in Q2 2025, and 43,000 BTC as of the end of June 2026 through repeated capital raises.

The following data illustrates where this scale of holdings stands in the global market.

[Slide Commentary: Bitcoin Holdings of Public Companies]

The slide above shows the ranking of Bitcoin holdings among public companies worldwide. Following the dominant US market leaders, MicroStrategy (840,447 BTC) and Twenty One Capital (43,514 BTC), Metaplanet (43,000 BTC) ranks as the 3rd largest holder globally . Not only is it the only Japanese company in the top 10, but it also surpasses major US crypto-asset firms such as MARA Holdings and Coinbase, underscoring the company's solid position as a global Bitcoin treasury corporation.

5. BTC per Share (BTC Yield) and Shareholder Value Creation

Beyond simply increasing total Bitcoin holdings, the primary metric for evaluation is whether the company is increasing the "Bitcoin-backed value per share" in excess of equity dilution. The company uses "BTC Yield" as this key performance indicator.

[Slide Commentary: Trend in BTC per Share]

The graph above shows the trend in Bitcoin holdings per 1,000 fully diluted shares. It has steadily increased from 0.000619 BTC in Q2 2024 to 0.026355 BTC in Q2 2026 (+6.6% QoQ). This demonstrates that even while raising capital through new share issuances, the company is acquiring Bitcoin at a pace that exceeds the rate of dilution, proving that the capital procurement process is functioning to increase the Bitcoin value per share for existing shareholders (creation of BTC Yield).

In Q2 2026 alone, the company achieved a BTC Yield of 6.6% , which is calculated to have generated a "BTC Gain" of 2,637 BTC , or 25,116 million JPY in yen-denominated terms.

6. Macroeconomic Analysis: Inflation and Domestic Asset Challenges

In its earnings materials, the company provides a deep analysis of the Japanese macroeconomic environment as the backdrop for its Bitcoin Treasury strategy and financial platform business.

• Inflation and Real Interest Rates : With the Consumer Price Index at +1.7% and ordinary deposit interest rates at approximately 0.254%, the real interest rate on ordinary deposits is estimated at -1.4% .
• Stagnant Household Assets : Out of Japan's household financial assets, 1,126 trillion JPY remains in cash and deposits , leaving it exposed to a decline in real purchasing power during periods of rising prices.

7. Opportunities in the Domestic High-Yield Credit Market

Furthermore, the company is focusing on a significant "void" in the structure of the domestic bond market.

• Small Corporate Bond Market : Within Japan's domestic bond market (approx. 1,425.4 trillion JPY), corporate bonds from financial and non-financial institutions account for only approx. 8.5% (121.9 trillion JPY) , with the remaining 81% dominated by government bonds and fiscal investment and loan bonds.
• Undeveloped Non-Investment Grade (High-Yield) Market : Less than 1% of the 1,126 trillion JPY in household financial assets is directed toward corporate bonds, and a public non-investment grade corporate bond market is virtually non-existent .
• Comparison with Developed Nations : While the US has a massive high-yield bond market (1.8 trillion USD) and private credit market (1.4 trillion USD), and Europe has a large high-yield market (0.5 trillion USD), the Japanese market holds significant room for growth.

The company views attracting domestic investor capital seeking yield and promoting the formation of a yen-denominated high-yield market as a major business opportunity.

8. Growth Strategy: Evolution into a "Bitcoin-Based Financial Platform"

Metaplanet has set forth a vision to transition from a company that simply holds Bitcoin (Phase I) to a "vertically integrated financial platform" (Phase II) based on Bitcoin.

[Slide Commentary: Structure of the Vertically Integrated Platform]

This slide organizes the overall structure of the financial platform the company is building into four layers:

1. Gateway : Building touchpoints with users and investors through media distribution (e.g., Bitcoin.jp).
2. Marketplace : "Metaplanet Securities" (Type I Financial Instruments Business Operator), which handles high-yield products regardless of whether they are issued by the company or third parties.
3. Product : Structuring corporate bonds, preferred stocks, and digital credit products based on Bitcoin.
4. Balance Sheet & Revenue Generation (Core Engine) : The traditional Bitcoin Treasury business serves as the foundation, supporting the overall financial and revenue base.

The company's strength lies in its aim to create an ecosystem that goes beyond mere crypto-asset holding, leveraging financial licenses to handle everything from product structuring to sales and distribution.

9. The Role of Metaplanet Securities and the Deployment of "BitBonds"

At the heart of this platform is the newly acquired Metaplanet Securities Co., Ltd. (Type I Financial Instruments Business Operator).

• Corporate Bond Platform Track Record : With a history dating back to the former Siiibo Securities, it has a track record of supporting over 40 issuers and over 100 private placement bond issues .
• Yen-Denominated Corporate Bonds "BitBonds" : Metaplanet has begun issuing a new yield product, "BitBonds," with Metaplanet Securities acting as the distributor.
• Three Stages to Building a Corporate Bond Market :
  • Phase 1 (In Progress) : Issuance of high-yield corporate bonds by listed Bitcoin Treasury companies.
  • Phase 2 (Under Consideration) : Realizing high-frequency and automated interest payments using stablecoin (SC) settlement and security token (ST) rights management.
  • Phase 3 (Development Goal) : Formation of a secondary market for corporate bond trading through market making and liquidity provision.

10. Capital Structure and Future Outlook Summary

Metaplanet's Q2 FY2026 earnings showed that its core operating profit grew steadily to 3,331 million JPY, up 136.3% YoY . Although the company recorded a net loss for the first half due to accounting Bitcoin valuation losses (18.42 billion JPY), its intrinsic Net Asset Value (BTC NAV) and Bitcoin holdings per share (BTC Yield) have steadily improved.

Moving forward, by utilizing its robust balance sheet of 43,000 BTC—the 3rd largest in the world—as a "core engine," and by advancing the issuance of yen-denominated high-yield "BitBonds" and digital credit products through Metaplanet Securities, the company is expected to develop into a unique financial platform that captures the "from savings to investment" trend in Japan .
