Since September 16, the Japanese Yen has dropped by over 7.15% against the US dollar. The drop has negatively affected many Japanese companies. At a time when Japanese business leaders are discussing strategies to overcome the Yen devaluation crisis, renowned Japanese energy and automotive firm Remixpoint has announced its decision to invest over 500 million Japanese Yen (at least $3.2 million) in Bitcoin, projecting the plan as a strategic hedge against the depreciation of Yen. Would other Japanese companies follow Remispoint? Let’s examine the scenario more closely! Ready? 

Remixpoint’s New Crypto Investment Strategy

This is not the first time that Remixpoint has invested in cryptos. Earlier this year, the company invested at least $5.3 million in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche. Notably, the company also holds positions in XRP and Dogecoin as well.

Reports suggest that the company has secured unrealised gains of $5.3 million for its crypto portfolio. This indicates that the company has benefited greatly from its crypto investment strategy. 

According to a media report, the company is preparing to reduce reliance on Yen-denominated holdings. The report notes that it has received the approval of its shareholders to explore all the possibilities of diversification.
