Weak yen drives Japanese companies to add Bitcoin and XRP to treasury holdings

AI Market Summary

Japanese corporates are reportedly adding BTC and XRP to treasuries as a hedge against yen weakness, and some are distributing crypto as shareholder perks. This suggests incremental real-economy adoption and potential diversification of corporate cash management into digital assets. SBI VC Trade's account growth reinforces improving domestic market infrastructure, though part of the increase reflects consolidation rather than purely organic demand.

Japanese companies are increasingly adding $BTC and $XRP to their treasury reserves as a hedge against the yen's decline, according to SBI VC Trade. Some firms are also offering the tokens to shareholders as a perk. SBI's crypto unit has surpassed 2 million accounts, roughly double the level a year earlier. The jump was partly driven by the integration of BitPoint Japan, rather than purely organic demand.
