Japan’s Remixpoint adds $3.2m in BTC to its crypto holdings

by

As a seasoned investor with a keen eye for trends and a knack for spotting opportunities, I find Remixpoint’s move to invest in Bitcoin quite intriguing. Having weathered multiple economic cycles and witnessed the rise and fall of various asset classes, I can say that the decision to diversify into cryptocurrency is not only prudent but also forward-thinking.

In response to the current increase in Bitcoin value, Remixpoint, a Japanese company specializing in energy and automotive sectors, has decided to invest 3.2 million dollars in Bitcoin, thereby expanding their cryptocurrency portfolio.

In a recent company notice, Remixpoint declared that it has purchased 500 million yen (around $3.2 million) worth of Bitcoin(BTC). With Remixpoint’s latest purchase, the company now holds 250.13 BTC, worth approximately 3.67 billion yen ($24.16 million) at current prices.

The company attributed its plan to increase Bitcoin holdings to the rising value of Bitcoin and Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. They aim to finalize the Bitcoin acquisition by the close of this year, subject to market fluctuations.

Just now, Bitcoin nearly touched the $100,000 mark by hitting an unprecedented high of $99,645 on November 22nd. As I’m speaking, Bitcoin is being traded at around $93,092, as per data from crypto.news. Over the past day, Bitcoin peaked at $94,615 and maintained a market capitalization of approximately $1.84 trillion.

Starting from September 26 this year, a car manufacturer based in Tokyo decided to invest in various cryptocurrencies as part of an effort to broaden its financial holdings due to the falling value of the yen. In total, this company has allocated over 3.8 billion yen into six distinct types of cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin taking the lead in these investments.

In their announcement, Remixpoint stated that should a substantial effect on their financial statements result from the recent Bitcoin purchase, they will swiftly share the details publicly.

As reported by the Japanese media outlet Coinpost, Remixpoint’s cryptocurrency holdings have amassed unrealized gains totaling over 810 million yen, equivalent to approximately $5.3 million USD. As of November 20th, Remixpoint owned around 215.76 Bitcoins, valued at roughly 3.17 billion yen or about $20.8 million USD. The firm’s second largest crypto investment consists of Solana (SOL), with a holding of approximately 9,674.37 SOL tokens, which are currently worth around 360 million yen, or approximately $2.36 million USD.

Remixpoint additionally put money into Ethereum (ETH), owning approximately 227.87 ETH, which is equivalent to around 110 million yen or $723,279. The majority of its crypto holdings are diversified across a mix of Avalanche (AVAX), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Ripple (XRP).

Over the past year, several Japanese financial institutions have started investing in cryptocurrencies as a strategy to address their country’s economic difficulties. Among these, Metaplanet stands out with its accumulation of 1,142 Bitcoins, currently valued at approximately $106.31 million.

Established back in 2004, Remixpoint made its debut on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2006. Originally focusing on the software industry, this company has since shifted its focus to trading sectors such as electricity and automobiles.
