Catenaa, Saturday, August 23, 2025-Tokyo-listed 3D housing manufacturer Lib Work has announced a $3.3 million Bitcoin treasury strategy, joining a growing wave of Japanese companies integrating cryptocurrency into corporate balance sheets.
The firm plans to acquire Bitcoin between September and December 2025, citing inflation hedging and preparation for overseas expansion as key motivations.
Lib Work becomes part of a broader trend in Japan, where over 289 publicly listed companies now collectively hold more than 3.67 million BTC, valued at approximately $418 billion.
Corporate adopters include Metaplanet Inc., which leads Asian holdings with 18,113 BTC, and Bakkt Holdings, which recently acquired a controlling stake in textile manufacturer MarushoHotta to pivot the company toward Bitcoin-focused treasury operations.
Other notable initiatives include Remixpoint, which dedicated $215 million for Bitcoin accumulation, and gaming developer Gumi, which launched a Bitcoin lottery for shareholders alongside plans for $6.58 million in Bitcoin purchases.
SBI Holdings is also preparing crypto ETFs and hybrid funds combining Bitcoin and gold, leveraging its 9% stake in Ripple.
Japan’s favorable regulatory environment is fueling this corporate adoption wave.
The Financial Services Agency plans to recognize crypto as financial products by 2026, while proposed tax reforms could cut capital gains taxes from 55% to 20%. Tokyo-based JPYC is set to issue the country’s first yen-denominated stablecoin with a target of 1 trillion yen over three years.
The trend positions Japan as a leading crypto adoption hub in Asia, attracting both domestic and international investors, including American Bitcoin ventures backed by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, seeking to acquire Japanese publicly listed firms.
