Bitcoin News Today: Japanese Firms Fuel Bitcoin's $80B Surge as Corporate Adoption Rises

BreakingCrypto – Japanese Real Estate Giant Lib Work Dives into Bitcoin with $3.3M Investment^[1] Tokyo, Japan – October 7, 2025 – Strategy, the corporate entity previously known as MicroStrategy, has solidified its position as one of the largest institutional holders of Bitcoin (BTC), with its Bitcoin holdings now valued at approximately $80 billion. This milestone comes as Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high of $126,279 on October 6, 2025, driven by massive institutional inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs and a broader shift in corporate adoption strategies. The price rally, fueled by $1.21 billion in daily ETF inflows, marked a pivotal moment for Bitcoin's integration into traditional finance.

Phemex News – Lib Work Acquires 29 Bitcoins for $3.3 Million as Reserve Asset^[2] The surge in Bitcoin's price and institutional demand follows a wave of corporate investments in the cryptocurrency. Japanese real estate technology firm Lib Work (TYO: 1431) joined the trend by allocating $3.3 million to acquire 29.6431 BTC at an average price of $112,140 per Bitcoin. This move, announced on October 6, 2025, aligns with Lib Work's broader strategy to diversify its treasury holdings and explore blockchain-based applications, including tokenized 3D-printed homes and Bitcoin-enabled property transactions. The company's acquisition, managed through SBI VC Trade, reflects a growing trend among Japanese firms to hedge against inflation and fiat currency volatility.

CoinCentral – Lib Work Joins Bitcoin Wave with $3.3M Treasury Strategy^[3] Market data underscores the accelerating institutional adoption of Bitcoin. Total trading volume for Bitcoin hit $68.2 billion in the week leading up to October 6, with Bitcoin ETFs alone generating $6.5 billion in activity. Centralized exchange balances have reportedly fallen to six-year lows, indicating a shift toward long-term holding strategies. This trend is supported by regulatory developments, including the U.S. FASB's fair value accounting rule (effective December 15, 2024) and Japan's exploration of crypto ETFs, which could further legitimize Bitcoin as a corporate asset.

The company's aggressive accumulation, which includes over 640,031 BTC, has historically influenced price dynamics, as seen in Tesla's 2021 $1.5 billion investment. While Lib Work's $3.3 million allocation is smaller, it reinforces an existing bullish trend, contributing to broader market confidence. Analysts note that corporate adoption is reshaping Bitcoin's role from speculative asset to a strategic reserve, akin to digital gold.

Lib Work's integration of NFTs for 3D-printed home designs and its plans to accept Bitcoin for property purchases highlight the cryptocurrency's utility in real-world applications. This aligns with Japan's growing corporate crypto ecosystem, where over 289 companies now hold more than 3.67 million BTC. Regulatory clarity, including Japan's potential tax reforms reducing capital gains rates on crypto from 55% to 20%, is expected to drive further institutional participation.

The U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, established in March 2025, and global inflationary pressures are expected to strengthen Bitcoin's role as a hedge against fiat devaluation. Meanwhile, the upcoming launch of yen-denominated Bitcoin ETFs in Japan could unlock new liquidity. Strategy's $80 billion holding and corporate trends like Lib Work's treasury strategy signal a maturing market, where Bitcoin's volatility is increasingly tempered by institutional demand and diversified use cases.
