Japanese Companies Add Bitcoin and XRP to Treasuries Amid Weakening Yen

Japanese companies are increasingly adding Bitcoin and XRP to their corporate treasuries as a way to diversify their reserves amid the weak yen. The number of registered accounts on VCTRADE and BITPOINT has surpassed 2 million, with much of the growth attributed to the merger of SBI VC Trade with BitPoint Japan in April 2026.

According to SBI Group's cryptocurrency division, operating in Tokyo, business interest in digital assets is linked to pressure on the yen. For some companies, Bitcoin and XRP are becoming not just an investment idea but a tool for liquidity and reserve management.

The corporate service SBIVC for Prime has become more in demand against the backdrop of currency weakness. Companies use it to expand the structure of treasury assets beyond cash.
