During this period, the company acquired 4,279 bitcoins, increasing its total reserves to 35,102 BTC and establishing itself among the largest bitcoin holders among publicly traded companies.

The purchase was made at an average price of US$ 105,412 per unit, resulting in an approximate investment of US$ 451 million (R$ 2.4 billion) in the quarter. As a result, the total amount already allocated to Bitcoin acquisition by the company reaches about US$ 3.78 billion (R$ 20.7 billion). The declared goal is to reach 210,000 bitcoins by the end of 2027.

In addition to the treasury strategy, the company has also been expanding its income-generating business in bitcoin. According to an official statement, the “Bitcoin Income Generation” unit — which uses derivatives to generate recurring revenue while maintaining long-term exposure to the asset — showed strong growth throughout the fiscal year 2025.

In Q4, the company expects to record an operating revenue of approximately 4.24 billion yen (about R$ 148.8 million) with this division. For the fiscal year ending December 2025, revenue reached 8.58 billion yen (approximately R$ 301.8 million), significantly surpassing the previous projection of 6.3 billion yen (around R$ 221.1 million). The growth was driven by consistent acceleration throughout the year, with quarterly growth over six times that of the same period in the previous year.

According to the company, revenue recognized in this segment includes options premiums, realized gains and losses, and valuation adjustments at the end of each period, excluding unrealized variations on bitcoins held as long-term reserves.

In the stock market, the company’s shares have appreciated by about 8% this year, closing the last trading session at 405 yen. Despite recent recovery, the shares are still well below the all-time peak recorded in June.
