Japan’s growing interest in Bitcoin as a corporate reserve asset continues to rise, with artificial intelligence firm Quantum Solutions announcing ambitious plans to accumulate 3,000 BTC over the next 12 months—an investment currently worth over $350 million.
In a statement released Thursday, the Tokyo-listed company revealed that its Bitcoin holdings will be managed through its fully owned subsidiary, GPT Pals Studio Limited, based in Hong Kong. The initiative will begin with an initial $10 million funding injection from Integrated Asset Management, an international investment group.
Quantum Solutions sees Bitcoin as a strategic reserve for the long haul. The company says it will work toward its 3,000 BTC goal in phases, considering market trends, funding availability, and regulatory conditions as it proceeds.
At the time of the announcement, Quantum’s market valuation stood at approximately 23.25 billion yen (around $159 million), according to Google Finance. Despite the big news, its stock fell by over 9%, trading at 504 yen (roughly $3.44).
Subsidiary to Handle Crypto Operations
GPT Pals Studio has already begun building the necessary infrastructure to securely manage digital assets. According to the company, their setup includes both cold and hot wallet systems, strict internal controls, and auditable accounting processes.
Calling the move a long-term commitment, CEO Francis Zhou said the firm is “building a Bitcoin-centric capital structure,” aiming to approach Bitcoin accumulation with institutional-level discipline. He added that Quantum is already in advanced talks with leading fintech firms, sovereign funds, and asset managers to grow its crypto treasury in a sustainable way.
A Broader Bitcoin Adoption Movement in Japan
Quantum is the latest in a growing list of Japanese firms turning to Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Earlier this month, Metaplanet became the first publicly listed company in Japan to adopt such a strategy, setting off a wave of similar moves.
This week, Kitabo, a legacy textile and recycling company with an 80-year history, revealed plans to invest 800 million yen (about $5.6 million) in Bitcoin. Similarly, energy firm Remixpoint recently secured around $215 million to increase its Bitcoin holdings, with its CEO Takashi Tashiro opting to receive his salary in BTC to align more closely with investor interests.
