Key Takeaways
- Remixpoint has raised $215 million to acquire Bitcoin, targeting a near-term goal of 3,000 BTC.
- The company joins a wave of Japanese firms embracing Bitcoin treasury strategies.
- Remixpoint follows the model set by Metaplanet, which pivoted to a Bitcoin-first strategy in mid-2023.
Japanese companies are starting to look at Bitcoin (BTC) less as a speculative bet and more as a long-term strategy.
With the yen still weak, interest rates near zero, and crypto regulation warming up, a handful of listed firms are beginning to move serious capital into BTC.
The latest is Remixpoint. The company just raised millions to buy Bitcoin and is looking to take a bold step toward becoming a BTC-first enterprise.
Remixpoint Raises $215 Million To Buy Bitcoin
Remixpoint, a Tokyo-listed energy and fintech firm, has raised 31.5 billion yen (roughly $215 million) to buy Bitcoin, targeting a treasury of 3,000 BTC in the near term.
It’s one of several Japanese companies rethinking traditional balance sheets in favor of digital assets amid a weakening yen and ultra-low interest rates.
The company said the decision follows in-depth internal debate and is intended to boost long-term corporate value while managing risk.
Remixpoint joins a growing list of companies that are adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets. Bitcoin treasuries have grown 375% year over year in 2025, with public firms now holding 4% of the total supply.
Earlier this week, Remixpoint also announced that President and CEO Yoshihiko Takahashi will receive his entire salary in Bitcoin. This is the first case for a listed company in Japan.
The firm said the payment structure aligns executive incentives with shareholders, especially as Remixpoint’s stock price mirrors Bitcoin’s performance.
Following Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Playbook
Remixpoint’s pivot comes as Metaplanet—a former hospitality company turned Bitcoin-holding firm—emerges as one of Japan’s most dramatic corporate success stories of the year.
Since shifting to a Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy in mid-2023, Metaplanet’s stock has surged over 500%, drawing comparisons to U.S.-based Strategy and its meteoric rise in valuation tied to BTC holdings.
Metaplanet’s aggressive accumulation plans target over 210,000 BTC by 2027. The firm has positioned itself as Japan’s closest equivalent to a publicly traded Bitcoin ETF.
That transformation has sparked retail and institutional interest, propelling its market cap and trading volumes.
Beyond Remixpoint and Metaplanet
Remixpoint’s Bitcoin pivot, and its move to pay executives in BTC, marks a bold step into Japan’s growing corporate crypto space.
Until recently, only a few public companies had ventured down this path. Metaplanet was one of the first. Now, others are following.
Game developer Gumi is one of them. The company recently invested $6.3 million into Bitcoin, part of a broader push to turn gaming revenues into long-term digital reserves.
Fashion retailer ANAP Holdings is also getting in. It started with 50.6 BTC on its balance sheet and has already laid out plans to scale that up to over 1,000 BTC by August.
Giuseppe Ciccomascolo began his career as an investigative journalist in Italy, where he contributed to both local and national newspapers, focusing on various financial sectors.
Upon relocating to London, he worked as an analyst for Fitch's CapitalStructure and later as a Senior Reporter for Alliance News. In 2017, Giuseppe transitioned to covering cryptocurrency-related news, producing documentaries and articles on Bitcoin and other emerging digital currencies. He also played a pivotal role in establishing the academy for a cryptocurrency exchange website. Crypto remained his primary area of interest throughout his tenure as a writer for ThirdFloor.
