Solv Teams Up with Animoca Brands to Boost Bitcoin Yields for Japanese Companies



Animoca Brands Partners with Solv Protocol to Unlock Bitcoin Yield for Japanese Corporations



Animoca Brands, a leader in Web3 gaming, has announced a strategic partnership with decentralized finance platform Solv Protocol aimed at enabling large Bitcoin holders in Japan—primarily corporations—to generate yields from their holdings. This collaboration leverages Solv’s innovative infrastructure alongside Animoca Brands’ extensive institutional network to target publicly listed entities with significant BTC treasuries, signaling a new approach to corporate finance in the crypto space.



Kensuke Amo, CEO of Animoca Brands Japan, emphasized the initiative's goal to transform the conventional view of Bitcoin as merely a treasury asset. "Most companies only hold Bitcoin," Amo noted, "but this venture aims to change that by allowing them to utilize their holdings for additional revenue streams." Unlike traditional assets, Bitcoin typically does not generate interest or dividends unless integrated into external systems like lending or staking.



Offering Between 4% and 12% Annual Yields



The new solution will employ Solv's Bitcoin-backed wrapper, a universal protocol that permits treasury firms to earn an annual yield ranging from 4% to 12%. Solv’s white paper outlines its approach to yield generation through lending markets, liquidity provisioning for automated market maker pools, and participation in structured staking programs. Ryan Chow, CEO and co-founder of Solv, stated that their protocol has demonstrated Bitcoin’s capacity to serve as productive capital. The next phase focuses on delivering secure, compliant, high-yield treasury solutions to Japan’s forward-thinking corporations.



Backed by notable investors like Binance Labs and Blockchain Capital, Solv manages over $2.8 billion in assets. Chow highlighted the platform’s commitment to expanding Bitcoin’s utility in corporate finance, especially within markets like Japan, where a growing number of companies are exploring crypto treasury strategies.



Japan’s Leading Bitcoin Holders



Japan currently hosts 11 publicly listed companies with Bitcoin holdings, according to data from Bitbo. The largest among them is Metaplanet, which holds approximately 30,823 Bitcoin, making it the fourth-largest Bitcoin treasury globally. Nexon, a prominent South Korean-based video game developer with headquarters in Japan, holds 1,117 Bitcoin, while remixpoint, a consulting firm, manages 1,273 Bitcoin. Additionally, Mt. Gox—the infamous collapsed exchange—still retains over 34,000 Bitcoin despite its bankruptcy in 2014, though it is classified as a private company.

Analyst: Bitcoin can reclaim $100K without a new narrative

Bitcoin has stalled below the $100,000 threshold, marking a run of almost five months without a breakout above that level. As of the latest market close, BTC hovered around $78,250 after a February nadir of about $60,000, underscoring a slow, grinding recovery amid broader market dynamics. In parallel, tech markets—especially AI-focused equities—have captured the spotlight, with investors rotating capital away from crypto in search of different risk-reward profiles. Nvidia (NVDA), the leading AI stock by market cap, has gained about 5.08% since the start of the year, while Bitcoin has faced a roughly 10% dip over the same period, illustrating a diverging performance within risk assets. MN Trading Capital founder Michael van de Poppe suggested that Bitcoin may not require a fresh narrative to push back above $100,000. In a post on X, he asked what narrative would drive BTC to the milestone and concluded that “price moves upwards, and the narrative will create itself.” He continued that ...
