Special Report: Major Japanese Firm Launches Large-Scale Bitcoin Treasury
TOKYO / HONG KONG – Quantum Solutions Co., Ltd. (TYO: 3729), an established Japanese AI and big data technology firm, announced Monday its intention to construct what could become the largest portfolio of Bitcoin held by any Japanese corporation. The plan involves acquiring up to 3,000 Bitcoin (BTC) within the next twelve months.
This significant investment strategy positions Quantum Solutions among the top corporate Bitcoin holders globally, joining a growing trend of Japanese businesses viewing BTC as a strategic hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations. The company anticipates spending between $10 million and $350 million on this initiative.
Quantum Solutions cites the weakening Japanese yen, rising inflation, and global economic uncertainty as key factors driving its decision. They specifically reference the depreciation of the yen alongside historically high yields on Japanese government bonds, which recently surpassed 3.375% for the nation’s 40-year bond.
Commenting on the strategy, Francis Zhou, CEO of Quantum Solutions, stated: “We are uniquely positioned to build a Bitcoin-first capital structure. Our goal is not only to accumulate Bitcoin, but to do so with institutional-grade discipline.”
The $10 million initial investment is planned to come from Integrated Asset Management (Asia) Limited, a Hong Kong-based affiliate firm previously renowned for acquiring Forbes Media. The company has established a specialized subsidiary, GPT Pals Studio Limited, based in Hong Kong, dedicated to managing its Bitcoin assets.
According to a company statement, Bitcoin is viewed as a “long-term, strategic reserve instrument” rather than a short-term trading asset. Quantum Solutions confirms purchases will occur in phases, contingent upon “market conditions, the Company’s available capital… and the application or adoption of relevant regulations or policies.”
To safeguard the assets and ensure compliance, Quantum Solutions has established a robust digital asset infrastructure, including cold storage and hot wallet solutions. Management controls are supplemented by regular oversight from its Board of Directors and Audit Committee.
This corporate move follows similar strategies adopted by other prominent Japanese firms, including Metaplanet (holding over 16,352 BTC) and Remixpoint, both of which accumulated considerable Bitcoin reserves prior to Quantum Solutions. The planned acquisition would make Quantum Solutions the second-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in Japan, following Metaplanet.
The success of corporate Bitcoin treasuries in Japan could influence broader adoption of cryptocurrency by Japanese entities within the global Bitcoin ecosystem.
