Japanese-listed firm Remixpoint has become the first in the country to pay its CEO entirely in bitcoin, aligning executive incentives with shareholder value and showcasing its commitment to crypto-centric corporate strategy.
A First for Japan As Remixpoint Links Executive Pay to BTC
Remixpoint, a Tokyo-listed firm bridging crypto, energy, and web3 innovation, has announced a landmark decision: its president and representative director will receive 100% of their executive compensation in bitcoin. This marks a historic first for a public company in Japan, reflecting a shift toward crypto-driven corporate alignment with shareholders.
The company stated that the move is designed to reinforce “shareholder-perspective management,” citing feedback from investors urging greater executive alignment with its bitcoin treasury strategy.
While technically paid in yen to comply with local corporate and tax law, the full amount will be immediately converted into BTC and sent to the CEO’s crypto wallet.
The initiative also signals growing confidence in bitcoin as a foundational corporate asset. Remixpoint is already executing a $215 million (31.5 billion yen) BTC accumulation plan and continues to explore next-generation treasury strategies grounded in digital assets.
