Dubai Duty Free said its sales reached AED8.7 billion ($2.4 billion) in 2025, a nearly 10 percent year-on-year increase.

Sales in December hit AED923 million, the highest monthly take in the retailer’s 42 years and a 12 percent increase over the same month a year earlier. 

The sales were fuelled by DDF’s anniversary, which included a 25 percent discount on December 20, resulting in a shopping spree of AED69 million in 24 hours.  

Growth in sales exceeded passenger traffic by an estimated 5 percent, with final passenger numbers for 2025 to be released by Dubai Airport later this month, DDF said in a statement.

The top five selling categories for the year were perfumes, liquor, gold, tobacco and confectionery.

Perfumes remained the leading category, generating AED1.6 billion and accounting for over 18 percent of sales. Liquor followed with sales of AED1.1 billion, while gold recorded AED896.5 million.

Tobacco ranked fourth with AED883.6 million in sales, followed by confectionery on AED845.5 million.

Online sales reached AED230.1 million, accounting for 3 percent of the total, the statement said.

More than 21 million sale transactions occurred during the year — an average of 58,212 per day – with a total 56.796 million units of merchandise sold.

Departure sales totalled AED8 billion,  accounting for 91 percent of annual sales, while arrival sales reached AED551 million, or 6.4 percent of yearly takings.

Metaplanet Forms Bitcoin-Focused Subsidiaries in Japan and the U.S.

The post Metaplanet Forms Bitcoin-Focused Subsidiaries in Japan and the U.S. appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Metaplanet (3350), the largest bitcoin BTC$116,183.54 treasury company in Japan, said it established two subsidiaries — one in Japan and one in the U.S. — and bought the bitcoin.jp domain name as it strengthens its commitment to the largest cryptocurrency. Bitcoin Japan Inc., will be based in Tokyo and manage a suite of bitcoin-linked media, conferences and online platforms, including the internet domain and Bitcoin Magazine Japan. The U.S. unit, Metaplanet Income Corp., will be based in Miami and focus on generating income from bitcoin-related financial products, including derivatives, the company said in a post on X. Metaplanet noted it launched a bitcoin income generation business in the last quarter of 2024 and aims to further scale these operations through the new subsidiary. Both the wholly owned subsidiaries are led in part by Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich. Earlier this month, the firm brought its bitcoin holdings to over 20,000 BTC. It’s currently the world’s sixth-largest bitcoin treasury company, with 20,136 BTC in its balance sheet, according to BitcoinTreasuries data. The leading firm, Strategy (MSTR), has 638,985 BTC. The subsidiaries are being established shortly after the company announced plans to raise a net 204.1 billion yen ($1.4 billion) in an international share sale to bolster its BTC holdings. Metaplanet stock dropped 1.16% on Wednesday. Source: https://www.coindesk.com/business/2025/09/17/metaplanet-sets-up-u-s-japan-subsidiaries-buys-bitcoin-jp-domain-name
