Metaplanet Inc. reported a $679 million non-cash impairment loss on its Bitcoin holdings for December 2025, a disclosure that coincided with an approximately 7% drop in its stock price, according to market reports [1][2].

Multiple outlets framed the valuation hit as tied to quarterly Bitcoin market volatility and noted the impairment highlights the financial risks associated with corporate BTC treasuries [3][1].

Despite the write-down, Metaplanet raised its 2025 revenue and profit guidance and projected near‑term growth for 2026, saying its BTC income and treasury strategy will scale as operations expand [5][4].

The company’s large Bitcoin valuation loss alongside upgraded guidance underscores the volatility and accounting impacts firms face when holding BTC on their balance sheets [1][5][3].
