Japanese AI company Quantum Solutions Co., Ltd. (listed on Tokyo Stock Exchange) is going to build one of the largest bitcoin treasuries in Japan.

The company will buy up to 3,000 BTC in the next 12 months, a big bet that will put them among the top bitcoin-holding public companies globally.

Quantum Solution’s move is part of a growing trend of Japanese companies embracing bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.

The company is doing this as the Japanese yen is weakening, inflation is rising, and the world is looking at bitcoin as a hedge against economic uncertainty.

This is a big move for Quantum Solutions, known for developing AI and big data technologies.

According to the company’s announcement, the bitcoin purchase will start with an initial $10 million investment from Integrated Asset Management (Asia) Limited, a Hong Kong-based investment firm that previously led the acquisition of Forbes Media.

Quantum Solutions says it views bitcoin as a “long-term, strategic reserve instrument,” and will accumulate BTC in phases depending on market conditions, available capital, and regulations.

“We are uniquely positioned to build a Bitcoin-first capital structure,” said Francis Zhou, CEO of Quantum Solutions. “Our goal is not only to accumulate Bitcoin, but to do so with institutional-grade discipline.”

The company has set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong, GPT Pals Studio Limited, to manage its bitcoin holdings.

This subsidiary will build and maintain a digital asset infrastructure that includes cold and hot wallets, accounting controls, and regular oversight by the company’s board and audit committee.

GPT Pals Studio is already operational and will ensure that the bitcoin treasury will be secure, auditable, and compliant with regulatory standards.

Quantum’s move comes as Japan is facing big economic challenges.

The Japanese yen is depreciating and long-term government bond yields are hitting record highs. Yesterday, Japan’s 40-year bond yield hit 3.375%, the highest in decades, and the 10-year bond yield reached levels not seen since the 2008 financial crisis.

Meanwhile, a new U.S.-Japan trade deal introduced a 15% reciprocal tariff on Japanese exports.

Amid these macroeconomic developments, more companies are turning to bitcoin as a hedge against inflation, foreign exchange risk, and international volatility.

In its statement, Quantum Solutions said, “amid ongoing yen depreciation and increasing international financial uncertainty, investment and holding of Bitcoin are gaining importance.”

Quantum Solutions isn’t alone in this strategy. Other Japanese companies like Metaplanet (which holds over 16,352 BTC), Remixpoint (1,051 BTC), and ANAP Holdings are also accumulating bitcoin.

Quantum’s 3,000 BTC target would put it among the top institutional holders of bitcoin in Japan, second only to Metaplanet. At current prices, that’s over $350 million.

If Japanese bitcoin treasuries prove successful, it might change the way other Japanese companies think about the scarce digital asset. This could be the start of a new era for Japan in the global Bitcoin landscape.
