Scheduled between September and December 2025, the Bitcoin acquisition will be marked-to-market quarterly, ensuring clear financial reporting on any gains or losses. LibWork’s announcement underscores the growing recognition of Bitcoin as “digital gold” among institutional investors in Japan.
Importantly, LibWork plans to integrate blockchain technology into its core business activities, including pioneering projects such as “3D printer house NFTs,” reflecting a fusion of construction and Web3 innovation.
The decision places LibWork among an emerging class of Japanese companies leveraging cryptocurrency not only as an inflation hedge but also as a strategic asset for future growth and operational advancement.
While retail crypto adoption remains relatively low in Japan, institutional acceptance continues to grow, highlighting a maturing digital asset landscape in the region.
LibWork’s strategic purchase aligns with a global trend of corporations integrating Bitcoin into their treasury management, emphasizing security, transparency, and regulatory compliance.
This significant move by a traditional construction company signals a new phase in Japan’s corporate relationship with cryptocurrencies, potentially paving the way for broader blockchain adoption in the real estate and construction sectors
Meanwhile, Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) recently approved the nation’s first yen-backed stablecoin, orchestrated by Tokyo-based fintech JPYC with investment from Circle, the global stablecoin leader behind USDC.
The formal regulatory green light is expected to occur this fall, positioning Japan as a major player in global digital finance and blockchain innovation.
JPYC’s stablecoin will maintain a strict 1:1 peg to the Japanese yen, secured by bank deposits and government bonds under Japan’s robust Payment Services Act.
