Japanese AI Firm Quantum Solutions to Invest $10M in Bitcoin via Hong Kong Subsidiary

Japanese artificial intelligence company Quantum Solutions announced plans to invest in Bitcoin (BTC) through its Hong Kong-based subsidiary, GPT Pals Studio. Approved at a board meeting on July 23, the initiative begins with a purchase of up to $10 million in BTC using borrowed funds. The company aims to build a Bitcoin treasury of approximately 3,000 BTC — valued at around $354 million — within the next year.

Quantum Solutions cited the weakening yen, global financial instability, and rising bond yields as key reasons for adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset. The firm stated that diversifying its portfolio would help preserve value, strengthen its financial base, and reduce foreign exchange risks. Until now, neither Quantum Solutions nor its subsidiaries held digital assets on their balance sheets.

The company plans to manage its Bitcoin holdings through a phased investment policy and a dedicated account at crypto exchange Hashkey. This move aligns with a broader trend among Japanese corporations increasing exposure to Bitcoin. Metaplanet currently leads with 16,352 BTC, followed by firms like NEXON, Remixpoint, Convene, SBC Medical Group Holdings, and Anap Holdings, collectively holding 19,623 BTC, according to BitcoinTreasuries data.

Despite the growing adoption, Japan’s corporate Bitcoin reserves remain small compared to global leader Strategy, which holds 607,770 BTC. Still, analysts note that rising Japanese bond yields and persistent currency depreciation could accelerate institutional interest in Bitcoin as a hedge asset.

Quantum Solutions’ entry into the Bitcoin market reflects a significant shift in Japanese corporate treasury strategies, potentially signaling broader adoption among tech and AI-focused firms seeking long-term value preservation in digital assets.
