"SoftBank is going fully 'all in' on the Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) era with massive new capital deployments in OpenAI, AI data centers, and custom chip acquisitions, backed by a strong return to net profitability and strict LTV financial discipline."
SoftBank Group's Annual Report 2025 charts a bold transition toward the Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) era. Led by CEO Masayoshi Son, the company aims to become the world's leading ASI platform provider. Financially, SoftBank returned to net profitability for the first time in four years, posting net income of ¥1.15 trillion. As of March 31, 2025, its Net Asset Value (NAV) stood at ¥25.7 trillion, with a Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio of 18.0% (comfortably below its 25% policy threshold). Major developments include follow-on commitments of up to $40 billion in OpenAI, the OpenAI-aligned 'Stargate' AI data center project, the creation of the provisional enterprise AI platform 'Cristal intelligence', key silicon design acquisitions of Graphcore and Ampere, and the centralization of robotics holdings under 'Robo HD'. The report underscores a balanced approach of aggressive AI offense backed by structured LTV risk-management defense.
