Quantum Solutions, a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed AI developer, announced on July 24, 2025, plans to purchase up to 3,000 Bitcoin (BTC) worth approximately $180 million within the next 12 months. This strategic shift marks the company's formal entry into cryptocurrency investments, positioning it to become Japan's second-largest corporate Bitcoin holder after Metaplanet.
The decision, driven by Bitcoin's recognition as digital gold and institutional adoption trends, responds to the Japanese yen's depreciation and rising global financial risks. Quantum cited inflation hedging and forex risk mitigation as key motivations, aligning with Japanese peers like Metaplanet (16,352 BTC), Remixpoint (1,051 BTC), and ANAP Holdings targeting 1,000 BTC.
Quantum's 3,000 BTC target surpasses most domestic corporate holdings and places it among global leaders like MicroStrategy and Tesla. Executives emphasized Bitcoin's limited supply and decoupling from government policies as critical advantages during economic uncertainty. This move could catalyze broader corporate adoption in Japan, where crypto regulations are established but institutional participation remains cautious.
