Japanese Firm Expands Bitcoin Holdings as Corporate Adoption Gains Steam
Value Creation (9238), a Tokyo-listed logistics and technology firm, has announced plans to add 100 million yen (roughly $700,000) in Bitcoin (BTC) to its balance sheet over the next four months. This follows an earlier purchase of 200 million yen ($1.4 million) worth of Bitcoin, reflecting the company’s growing interest in utilizing BTC as a treasury asset.
The funds for this acquisition will come from surplus capital earmarked for future investments, signaling confidence in the digital currency as a store of value.
This move is part of a broader trend in Japan, where companies—once cautious about cryptocurrencies—are increasingly adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Notable firms like Remixpoint, NEXON, and Metaplanet, which holds the largest amount of Bitcoin in Japan with 4,525 BTC, have already incorporated Bitcoin into their balance sheets. This reflects a shift toward viewing Bitcoin as a strategic financial tool in the corporate world.
