Japanese Bitcoin Yield Solutions for Corporate Treasuries
Japan’s corporate Bitcoin holders are gaining new ways to earn yield, thanks to a strategic partnership between Animoca Brands Japan and decentralized finance platform Solv Protocol. The collaboration aims to give institutions a secure, compliant method to turn dormant BTC reserves into productive capital.
While Bitcoin is widely adopted as a store of value, it has treaditionally lacked native yield-generating capabilities. Companies holding BTC on their balance sheets have typically left it inactive. The new initiative between Animoca and Solv seeks to change that by introducing institutional-grade yield strategies tailored for Japan’s growing Bitcoin treasury market.
Under the partnership, treasury firms can access Solv’s Bitcoin backed wrapper designed to deliver 4% to 12% annual percentage yield. Solv generates returns through lending markets, liquidity provisioning to AMM pools, and structured staking programs. Animoca Brands Japan will leverage its local corporate network to introduce these offerings to listed firms and major institutions.
Kensuke Amo, CEO of Animoca Brands Japan, emphasized the shift from passive holding to strategic utilization, noting the venture aims to create an environment where companies can treat Bitcoin not only as an asset but as a revenue-driving instrument.
Japan’s Largest Bitcoin Treasuries
Japan currently has 11 publicly listed companies holding Bitcoin, led by Metaplanet, which controls approximately 30,823 BTC, making it one of the world’s largest corporate holders. Other notable holders include Nexon and Remixpoint. Meanwhile, Mt. Gox, despite its collapse, still retains more than 34,000 BTC as the only private Japanese entity with significant reserves.
The Animoca–Solv partnership signals a shift toward more sophisticated Bitcoin treasury management as Japanese firms explore new ways to put their digital assets to work.
