Remixpoint CEO to Receive 100% Bitcoin Salary to Align Interests
- Remixpoint Adopts Bitcoin as Executive Salary in Japan
- Company seeks to align management and shareholders with cryptocurrencies
- Bitcoin replaces yen in anti-devaluation strategy
Remixpoint, a Japanese listed company operating in the energy and technology sector, announced that its CEO and president, Yoshihiko Takahashi, will now receive 100% of his compensation in bitcoin. The decision was announced on Tuesday and marks the company as the first listed company in Japan to adopt this model.
According to the company, the change aims to align the interests of the leadership with those of its shareholders. “By receiving compensation in Bitcoin, the company’s leadership will share the same economic fate as the shareholders,” Remixpoint said in an official statement.
The company explained that it had received requests from investors for the board to hold shares in the company as a way of aligning strategies and results. However, due to regulatory restrictions on the use of privileged information, this practice could not be adopted.
Alternatively, payment in bitcoin was chosen because it indirectly reflects the asset’s performance and its correlation with the company’s stock market performance. Takahashi reinforced this commitment: “My decision to receive all my compensation in bitcoin is a clear signal that I am ‘in the same boat’ as our shareholders.”
In September last year, Remixpoint began direct investments in cryptocurrencies as part of a diversification strategy, especially to reduce exposure to the Japanese yen, whose devaluation worries local companies.
According to information from the institutional website , the company maintains a significant reserve of crypto assets: approximately 1.051,56 BTC, 901,44 ETH, 13.920 SOL, 1,2 million XRP and approximately 2,8 million in DOGE.
Shares of Remixpoint, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, closed the day up 0,71%, reflecting the positive reception of the measure by the market. The strategic use of cryptocurrencies by Japanese companies signals a growing adaptation to the new global financial landscape.

Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
