Japanese Company Buys Bitcoin
Tokyo-based Metaplanet Inc. is leading this trend. The company has converted most of its balance sheet into Bitcoin. As of August 4, 2025, they hold 17,595 BTC, ranking seventh globally among public companies.
Metaplanet's "555 Million Plan" aims for 100,000 BTC by 2026, and 210,000 BTC by 2027. This indicates a long-term commitment to a Bitcoin strategy.
Beauty salon operator Convano is also joining this movement. They aim to collect 21,000 BTC by March 2027. The company launched a Bitcoin Strategy Office in July 2025.
Convano invested US$2.7 million in BTC. This marks a significant shift in the finances of Japanese companies. Other companies are following this path.
Clothing retailer Mac-House will change its name to Gyet Co., Ltd. in September. This change reflects a shift from clothing to crypto. The company plans to invest US$160 million in the purchase and mining of BTC.
Kitabo, a 70-year-old textile manufacturer producing synthetic fiber yarn and health products, bought 3.32 BTC and launched daily Bitcoin purchases worth US$13,500 with a budget of US$5.4 million.
Toho Remac, a company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, approved a one-year plan to acquire up to ¥1 billion (US$6.8 million) in Bitcoin and Ethereum. The company completed its first purchase on August 6 with 1.4475 BTC and 45.6581 ETH.
Japan's Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato supports this change. He stated that crypto assets should be recognized as investment products, not just payments. Discussions began in 2025 to shift the regulations from the Payment Services Act to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.
