Remixpoint Makes History as First Japanese Public Company to Pay CEO Entirely in Bitcoin

In a landmark move for Japan’s corporate and crypto landscape, consulting firm Remixpoint has become the first publicly listed company in the country to pay its CEO’s salary entirely in Bitcoin.

Announcing the decision in an official press release, Remixpoint revealed that its President and CEO, Yoshihiko Takahashi, personally chose to receive his full compensation in BTC. According to Takahashi, the decision reflects his dedication to the company’s Bitcoin strategy while demonstrating solidarity with shareholders.

“My decision to receive my entire compensation in Bitcoin is a clear signal that I am ‘in the same boat’ as our shareholders,”

he stated, emphasizing that his salary arrangement is a testament to his belief in the firm’s Bitcoin-focused vision.

Remixpoint explained that while shareholders had previously urged management to hold company stocks to align leadership incentives with investor interests, regulatory restrictions – including insider trading concerns – prevented the company from doing so. As an alternative, the firm opted to pay Takahashi’s salary entirely in Bitcoin.

“By receiving compensation in Bitcoin, the company’s leadership will share the same economic fate as shareholders, fostering a system that aligns economic value with investors,”

wrote the company in its statement.

At present, Bitcoin is trading at $108,461, marking a slight 0.45% dip in the last 24 hours despite a strong 1.59% rise over the past week and a 3.3% gain in the past fortnight, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Remixpoint’s move stands out amid a wave of companies globally that have been raising capital to build corporate Bitcoin treasuries. Unlike recent entrants, however, Remixpoint is regarded as an early adopter, having held BTC on its balance sheet since September 2024. Data from Bitcoin Treasuries shows the company currently holds 1,051 BTC, valued at approximately $114.03 million.

Notably, in December 2024, Remixpoint increased its crypto holdings to $27.59 million following a $1.38 million Bitcoin purchase. The company, which operates in the energy and automotive sectors, reportedly acquired an additional 13.24 BTC on December 5 and 6, spending ¥213.9 million (approximately $1.38 million).
