Japan Takes a Major Step Toward Institutional Bitcoin Adoption
Animoca Brands Japan has entered a strategic collaboration with RootstockLabs to bring Bitcoin-native, institutional-grade treasury infrastructure to Japanese corporations. This partnership will localize Rootstock’s institutional program for the Japanese market, giving enterprises access to on-chain financial tools secured by Bitcoin’s proof-of-work and supported by Rootstock’s EVM-compatible smart contract ecosystem.
With more Japanese companies beginning to view #Bitcoin as a long-term strategic asset, this initiative aims to help corporations move beyond passive $BTC holdings and adopt more sophisticated digital asset treasury strategies — from BTC-backed borrowing to institutional-grade yield opportunities. Rootstock’s eight-year record of 100% uptime and merged-mined security model positions it as a compelling option for risk-aware enterprises navigating Japan’s strict regulatory environment.
Through this collaboration, Animoca Brands Japan will leverage its Digital Asset Treasury Management Support Service to help companies evaluate Bitcoin-centric financial strategies aligned with their governance, compliance, and operational requirements. As Japan’s institutional interest in digital assets accelerates, this partnership could play a central role in shaping the country’s next phase of Bitcoin adoption.
