Japan’s Remixpoint Buys $3.27M Bitcoin to Hedge Yen

Remixpoint, a publicly traded Japanese company specializing in energy and automotive sectors, has announced its plan to purchase Bitcoin worth 500 million yen (approximately $3.27 million). 

This latest investment brings Remixpoint’s total crypto holdings to approximately 3.5 billion yen ($22.92 million). The company intends to complete the purchase by the end of this year while closely monitoring market conditions.

This move marks the company’s ongoing commitment to diversifying its portfolio with digital assets. Previously, in September, Remixpoint acquired over $5.27 million in various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Avalanche (AVAX).

The decision to increase its crypto investments comes amid a significant depreciation of the Japanese yen. Since September 16, the yen has dropped by more than 7.15% against the US dollar, which has raised concerns among many Japanese businesses. Remixpoint sees this Bitcoin purchase as a strategic hedge against the weakening yen, aiming to reduce its reliance on yen-denominated holdings.

The company’s proactive approach in investing in cryptocurrencies reflects its broader strategy to navigate Japan’s currency devaluation and leverage the growing digital asset market. Remixpoint has already seen unrealized gains of $5.3 million from its crypto investments, further affirming the potential of its investment strategy.

Remixpoint has also stated that it will disclose any significant impact the new Bitcoin purchase may have on its consolidated financial results, ensuring transparency with its shareholders. The company’s shareholders have already approved its exploration of diversification opportunities, reflecting a strategic shift towards lessening dependency on traditional currency assets.
