Unlocking corporate bitcoin as productive capital
Traditionally, Bitcoin is held as a non-yielding asset, providing no interest, dividends, or staking rewards. The new partnership leverages Solv’s universal Bitcoin-backed wrapper to enable treasury firms to earn annual yields ranging from 4% to 12%. Solv generates this yield through lending markets, liquidity provisioning to automated market maker (AMM) pools, and structured staking programs, turning idle Bitcoin into productive capital.
Kensuke Amo, CEO of Animoca Brands Japan, emphasized the strategic goal:
“Through this collaboration, we aim to create an environment where companies can not only hold Bitcoin as a financial asset but also leverage it as a new revenue engine that drives corporate growth.”
The platform is specifically designed to serve institutions seeking compliant, efficient ways to maximize the utility of their crypto holdings.
Solv’s infrastructure and institutional expertise drive expansion
Ryan Chow, co-founder and CEO of Solv, highlighted the protocol’s proven track record:
“Bitcoin can serve as productive capital. Our next phase is delivering secure, compliant, and high-yield treasury solutions to Japan’s most forward-thinking corporations.”
Solv Protocol currently manages over $2.8 billion in assets and is backed by notable investors, including Binance Labs and Blockchain Capital.
By combining Animoca Brands’ institutional network with Solv’s DeFi infrastructure, the initiative represents a significant step toward institutional adoption of Bitcoin as an active financial instrument, rather than a static treasury asset. The platform is expected to reshape corporate crypto strategy in Japan by offering both security and profitability in a single integrated solution.
Meanwhile, Animoca Brands, in partnership with Chess.com, announced on November 13 the integration of the $CHECK token, establishing it as the native utility token for the game’s growing ecosystem.
