What you need to know:
- Value Creation plans to deposit 100 million yen (approximately $700,000) in BTC into its balance sheet over the next four months.
- As a result of this action, the company's total assets will increase to 300 million yen (or about 2.1 million US dollars).
- This rather modest accumulation comes amid growing institutional interest in Bitcoin across Japan.
The report said Value Creation (9238), a logistics and technology company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, plans to add 100 million yen ($700,000) worth of bitcoin (BTC) to its balance sheet over the next four months.
The company previously purchased bitcoins worth about 200 million yen (US$1.4 million).
The company noted that the funds come from excess capital earmarked for future investments.
Value Creation’s moves, while small, are not going unnoticed. The trend is accelerating in Japan, where once-wary companies are starting to actively embrace BTC as a treasury reserve asset. Several firms in the country have adopted BTC, including energy company Remixpoint, NEXON, and Metaplanet. Metaplanet is the largest corporate holder in Japan, with 4,525 BTC on its balance sheet.
