Japan’s Remixpoint Invests $3.2M in Bitcoin to Hedge Yen Depreciation Risk
Remixpoint, a Tokyo Stock Exchange listed company, will allocate 500 million yen (approximately $3.2 million) from its cash reserves to buy Bitcoin (BTC) by the end of the year.
This is a strategic move to hedge against yen depreciation and to ride the institutional trend of cryptocurrency.
Not the first time for the company to invest in crypto. Earlier this year they bought $5.3 million worth of Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Avalanche (AVAX). They also hold smaller positions in XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE).
They cited the upward trend after Bitcoin’s halving and the expected approval of crypto spot ETFs as the reason for their continued investment.
Shareholder Support and Financial Impact
Shareholders approved the crypto buying strategy earlier this year and it was deemed necessary as a hedge against yen depreciation. Remixpoint’s document shows unrealized gain of $5.3 million on their existing crypto portfolio so there’s potential for big returns.
Remixpoint will disclose any material impact on their consolidated financial statements of the latest BTC purchase. This is in line with their goal to diversify their assets and reduce yen denominated holdings.
“By buying cryptocurrencies we will offset currency fluctuations and prepare for future market volatility,” Remixpoint said.
Broader Implications for Japan’s Crypto Market
Remixpoint’s move is part of a growing trend of Japanese companies investing in crypto assets. Japan is in a tough economic environment with the yen under pressure due to policy divergence with other major countries.
Remixpoint’s investment might encourage other companies to follow and cement crypto’s place in Japan’s financial landscape.
