The company cited the depreciation of fiat currencies like the yen and rising global financial uncertainty as key drivers behind the move. Until now, neither GPT nor any of its subsidiaries had included digital assets in their balance sheets.
“In order to efficiently manage surplus funds generated from existing businesses, diversify our asset portfolio to strengthen our financial base, preserve value over the medium- to long-term, and reduce foreign exchange risks, we have decided to add bitcoin to our reserve assets,” the company wrote.
This new line of business will be governed by a phased investment policy and a dedicated account at crypto exchange Hashkey.
Bitcoin treasuries have been growing in Japan as the country’s bond yields keep on rising. Metaplanet, Japan’s largest bitcoin treasury firm, currently has 16,352 BTC on its balance sheet, and the number of companies in the country holding the cryptocurrency has been surging.
These now include NEXON, Remixpoint, Convene, SBC Medical Group Holdings, Anap Holdings, and others, according to BitcoinTreasuries data. These companies hold 19,623 BTC in total.
The figure is still small when compared to the total amount held by the world’s largest corporate bitcoin treasury firm, Strategy, which holds 607,770 BTC on its balance sheet.
