Japanese Logistics Firm Expands Bitcoin Holdings as Corporate Adoption Grows

Value Creation (9238), a Tokyo-listed logistics and tech company, announced plans to acquire an additional 100 million yen ($700,000) worth of Bitcoin (BTC) over the next four months. This follows an earlier purchase of 200 million yen ($1.4 million) in Bitcoin, marking a significant step in the company’s treasury strategy.

The funds for this purchase are drawn from surplus capital allocated for future investments, underscoring the company’s confidence in Bitcoin as a store of value.

Although this acquisition is modest, it is part of a larger trend in Japan where businesses, once hesitant about digital assets, are increasingly turning to Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Several major companies in Japan, including energy firm Remixpoint, gaming giant NEXON, and Metaplanet—which holds the largest corporate Bitcoin stash in Japan at 4,525 BTC—are now incorporating Bitcoin into their corporate balance sheets. This shift highlights the growing recognition of Bitcoin’s role in corporate treasury management.
