TOKYO, Jun 17 (Pulse News Wire) – PostPrime Inc. (198A.T) announced today that its board of directors decided to terminate its trading platform business and reallocate resources towards enhancing its social media platform “PostPrime” and expanding its M&A intermediary services.
The decision follows a review of the competitive landscape and strategic alignment within the group. The company’s subsidiary, TakaTrade Co., Ltd., which launched the commodity CFD trading platform service "TakaTrade" in June 2025, faced challenges in scaling user base and functionality despite efforts to expand. After careful evaluation, management concluded that focusing on M&A advisory and succession support would better align with long-term value creation for shareholders. As part of this strategy, PostPrime plans to dissolve TakaTrade by the end of September 2026, followed by data migration and asset disposal processes. TakaTrade, established on October 1, 2024, had a capital of ¥400 million.
Its latest financial results show a lower net profit of -¥202.1 million in operating income and -¥198.5 million in ordinary income for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 ending May 2026. The company expects a temporary loss of approximately ¥19 million due to the shutdown, which will be recorded as a provision in the same fiscal period. With the cessation of the trading platform operations, PostPrime anticipates reduced fixed costs and improved revenue structure moving forward. The company intends to concentrate its efforts on strengthening the PostPrime social media platform and leveraging InfinityLife, recently acquired, to drive growth in M&A advisory services. PostPrime remains committed to sustainable development and enhancement of shareholder value through these strategic shifts.
