Bitcoin News Today: Japanese Corporations Embrace Bitcoin as Yen Hedge, Remixpoint's Holdings Hit 1,374.68 BTC

Japan-based Remixpoint (3825.T) has increased its Bitcoin holdings by 3.22 BTC, bringing its total reserve to 1,374.68 BTC as of October 9, 2025, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET. This update follows a broader trend of Japanese institutional adoption of Bitcoin, with Remixpoint joining peers like Metaplanet and other public companies in allocating digital assets to their corporate treasuries. The firm's Bitcoin portfolio is now valued at approximately $169.7 million, reflecting an average acquisition price of ¥17.8 million ($330,000) per BTC.

The company's latest purchase aligns with its strategy to hedge against the weakening Japanese yen and diversify its asset base. Remixpoint has consistently added to its Bitcoin holdings since September 2024, with prior acquisitions including 18.54 BTC in October 2025 (raising its total to 1,368.8 BTC) and 41.5 BTC in August 2025. The firm's total Bitcoin purchases since April 2025 have amounted to over ¥20.6 billion JPY, underscoring its commitment to integrating digital assets into its financial operations. These holdings are not speculative but are part of a long-term plan to use Bitcoin for stock acquisition rights and operational flexibility.

Japan's corporate sector is increasingly embracing Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. Remixpoint's actions mirror those of other Japanese firms, including Metaplanet, which holds 17,595 BTC as of August 2025, and Convano, which aims to accumulate 21,000 BTC by 2027. Japan now ranks fourth globally in national corporate Bitcoin holdings, trailing the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. This trend is supported by regulatory clarity, with Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) exploring frameworks to classify crypto assets as financial products.

The move also reflects growing global confidence in Bitcoin as a hedge against macroeconomic uncertainties. With the yen depreciating against the U.S. dollar in 2025, Japanese corporations are seeking alternatives to traditional fiat reserves. Remixpoint's management views Bitcoin as both a store of value and a tool to mitigate currency risk, particularly in a low-interest-rate environment. The company's approach aligns with broader institutional strategies, such as those of U.S.-based MicroStrategy (now Strategy), which holds over 582,000 BTC.

Analysts note that Japan's institutional adoption of Bitcoin is accelerating, driven by corporate innovation and regulatory adaptability. The FSA's potential approval of yen-denominated Bitcoin ETFs could further catalyze demand, reducing entry barriers for investors and pension funds. Meanwhile, companies like Remixpoint are leveraging Bitcoin's volatility to their advantage, viewing price swings as opportunities for strategic accumulation rather than deterrents. This mindset mirrors global trends, with businesses allocating an average of 10% of net income to Bitcoin through dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategies.

Remixpoint's Bitcoin holdings are part of a larger shift in Japan's financial landscape. The firm, which initially focused on energy and fintech, has expanded into blockchain-based services, positioning itself as a pioneer in digital asset integration. Its portfolio now includes not only Bitcoin but also ether (ETH), SOL, XRP, and dogecoin (DOGE), reflecting a diversified approach to crypto investments. The company reported a $658 million unrealized gain on its crypto holdings in its third-quarter earnings, highlighting the growing financial impact of these assets.

The firm's stock price has surged 360% since U.S. President Donald Trump's election victory in November 2024, which it attributes to a more favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies. This momentum has accelerated Remixpoint's Bitcoin accumulation, with its holdings increasing over 8,000% in nine months to near its $65 million investment target. The company's strategy underscores Bitcoin's role as a macroeconomic hedge, particularly in markets with currency depreciation risks.
