How the Bitcoin Income Business Works
MetaPlanet’s Bitcoin Income Business is designed to achieve dual objectives: scalable Bitcoin accumulation and stable operating revenue—without relying solely on direct spot market purchases.
Unlike traditional buy-and-hold strategies, this program generates income by taking on obligation-backed positions. Specifically, the company sells cash-secured put options on Bitcoin. In this model:
- MetaPlanet agrees to buy Bitcoin at a predetermined strike price if the market price falls below that level by expiration.
- In exchange for taking on this obligation, the company collects an option premium upfront.
- If Bitcoin’s price remains above the strike price, the option expires worthless, and the premium becomes pure profit.
- If the option is exercised, MetaPlanet acquires Bitcoin at the agreed price, using cash held in reserve.
This mechanism allows the company to:
- Earn consistent income regardless of short-term price movements.
- Acquire Bitcoin at or below targeted prices during market dips.
- Maintain capital preservation through full cash backing of all obligations.
All transactions are fully collateralized, ensuring risk-controlled exposure while enabling dynamic asset accumulation over time.
Strategic Separation and Security Measures
The Bitcoin Income Business operates as a complementary but fully segregated component of MetaPlanet’s broader Bitcoin Treasury Strategy.
Importantly:
- The Bitcoin acquired through this income program is distinct from holdings disclosed under separate “Bitcoin Purchase Announcements.”
- All accumulated Bitcoin is stored in cold storage (offline environments), isolated from internet access to prevent unauthorized access or cyber threats.
- This strict separation aligns with internal risk management policies aimed at maximizing asset security.
By maintaining operational independence between income generation and long-term treasury holdings, MetaPlanet enhances both transparency and resilience in its digital asset strategy.
Capital Allocation and Fund Deployment
During Q2 FY2025, the cash collateral allocated to outstanding put option contracts was fully utilized, either through exercise or expiration. As a result:
- All committed capital has now been converted into long-term Bitcoin holdings.
- The original funding pool assigned to this business line has been successfully recycled into permanent treasury assets.
Looking ahead, any future capital reinvestment into the Bitcoin Income Business will be at the discretion of management and aligned with the stated use of proceeds from the 20th to 22nd Stock Acquisition Rights offerings. This ensures that capital deployment remains consistent with shareholder-approved strategic goals.

Management Outlook: Building a Sustainable Bitcoin-Native Model
MetaPlanet’s leadership reaffirms its commitment to building a scalable, efficient, and sustainable business model anchored in the Bitcoin standard. The consistent quarterly growth in revenue from the Bitcoin Income Business validates the viability of this approach.
Management views this program not just as a short-term revenue generator, but as a foundational framework for:
- Strengthening balance sheet resilience
- Expanding treasury operations
- Enhancing long-term shareholder returns
The company intends to continuously refine and scale this model, integrating it deeper into its overall treasury management system. With over 60% of its annual income target already achieved mid-year, MetaPlanet is well-positioned to explore new opportunities in both capital markets and strategic expansion.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is a cash-secured Bitcoin put option?
A: It’s a financial contract where the seller agrees to buy Bitcoin at a set price if it drops below that level by expiration. The seller holds enough cash to cover the purchase. If the price stays above, they keep the premium as income.
Q: How does selling put options help accumulate Bitcoin?
A: When options are exercised, the company buys Bitcoin at pre-defined prices—often below market rates during downturns. Premiums collected also fund future purchases, compounding acquisition power.
Q: Is MetaPlanet still using this strategy in Q3 FY2025?
A: While specific trading activity isn’t disclosed due to strategic sensitivity, management retains discretion to redeploy capital based on market conditions and prior funding mandates.
Q: How is the Bitcoin from this program stored?
A: All Bitcoin acquired via this business line is held in secure cold storage—offline wallets disconnected from the internet—to ensure maximum protection against cyber threats.
Q: Why keep this business separate from other treasury holdings?
A: Segregation improves risk management, clarifies financial reporting, and strengthens governance by isolating income-generating activities from long-term reserve assets.
