In a strategic shift reflecting Japan's growing corporate interest in digital assets, artificial intelligence firm Quantum Solutions has announced plans to accumulate 3,000 BTC (worth approximately $350 million) through its Hong Kong subsidiary within the next year.
The Tokyo-listed company revealed through its subsidiary GPT Pals Studio that it will establish a dedicated Bitcoin treasury, with initial funding of $10 million provided by Integrated Asset Management. This move positions Quantum Solutions among a growing cohort of Japanese corporations adopting cryptocurrency reserves as part of their capital management strategies.
——"We're building a Bitcoin-first capital structure with institutional-grade discipline,"—— stated CEO Francis Zhou, emphasizing the long-term nature of the investment. The company plans to acquire the cryptocurrency in phases, adjusting its approach based on market conditions and regulatory developments.
GPT Pals Studio has already begun implementing specialized digital asset infrastructure featuring:
• Segregated cold and hot wallet systems
• Enhanced internal control mechanisms
• Comprehensive auditing protocols
The announcement comes as Quantum Solutions' stock (TYO:2338) experienced a 【9.19%】 decline, trading at 504 yen ($3.44) with a market capitalization of 23.25 billion yen ($159 million).
Quantum Solutions follows several Japanese firms embracing Bitcoin treasuries:
• Metaplanet: First Japanese listed company to adopt BTC reserves
• Kitabo: Textile firm allocating $5.6M to Bitcoin
• Remixpoint: Energy company raising $215M for crypto treasury expansion
Notably, Remixpoint's new CEO Takashi Tashiro will receive his salary in Bitcoin, aligning executive compensation with the company's cryptocurrency strategy.
Industry analysts observe that Japan's corporate Bitcoin adoption wave reflects broader institutional acceptance, with companies citing cryptocurrency's potential as:
1. A hedge against currency fluctuations
2. A strategic reserve asset
3. A technological alignment with digital transformation
Quantum Solutions indicates it's in advanced talks with asset managers and fintech leaders to scale its treasury operations. The 12-month acquisition target would position the AI firm as one of Asia's most significant corporate Bitcoin holders if fully realized.
As of press time, Bitcoin trades at approximately $116,667 per coin, making the 3,000 BTC target equivalent to about 2.2 times Quantum Solutions' current market valuation.
