Japan’s Remixpoint says it raised $215 million to expand bitcoin treasury
Quick Take Remixpoint has raised ¥31.5 billion ($215 million) and will utilize the entire sum to bolster its Bitcoin treasury in pursuit of a 3,000 BTC holdings target. It follows the decision to pay top executives in BTC and reflects a growing trend of Japanese firms adding bitcoin to corporate reserves, led by Tokyo-listed Metaplanet.
Remixpoint Inc., a Tokyo-listed energy and cryptocurrency services firm, said it has raised approximately 31.5 billion yen ($215 million) in a financing deal and will deploy the entire sum to purchase bitcoin for its corporate treasury.
In a Wednesday statement posted to X , the company stated that its “near-term goal” is to hold 3,000 BTC, although the final tally could fluctuate with Bitcoin’s price and Remixpoint’s share price. Since last September, the firm has accumulated an estimated 1,051 BTC, worth around $114 million at present, and altcoins, including Ether, SOL, XRP, and DOGE, to hedge against a depreciating Japanese yen.
After the initial purchase, management will review the position against the stock’s three-day average to decide whether to adjust the target. The announcement follows a decision to pay executives solely in bitcoins. On July 8, Remix said it would start paying its CEO and President in BTC . The move is meant to align economic risks with shareholder interests.
“We have become even more convinced of bitcoin’s future,” Remixpoint wrote, adding that directors reached the decision unanimously after “extensive discussions” and believe the move will boost corporate value on a risk-adjusted basis. “We understand the difference between seizing opportunities and playing it safe, as well as the distinction between a challenge and recklessness.”
Remixpoint did not detail the financing structure or give a timetable for the purchases. The company operates renewable-energy projects and previously ran the BITPoint Japan crypto exchange, before divesting its shares to SBI Holdings in 2023. Remix shares closed nearly 4% higher before the disclosure, according to Yahoo Finance data.
Remixpoint could mirror the Bitcoin Treasury investment strategy used by a few Japanese firms. Tokyo-based Metaplanet , hailed as Asia’s Strategy, has raised more than $1 billion through share sales this year to accumulate BTC, and now holds 15,555 bitcoins. Public companies now hold more than 737,660 BTC, about 3.5% bitcoin’s circulating supply, as firms increasingly adopt the largest cryptocurrency as their primary reserve asset, according to The Block's data dashboard .

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.
