The pro-crypto Japanese business giant Remixpoint seems keen to employ the ‘Michael Saylor Strategy’ by using its balance sheet to buy Bitcoin and other crypto holdings. By the end of 2024, the company will invest $3.2 million in Bitcoin as a hedge against depreciation.
According to an official statement in the local media outlet CoinPost, The Company will spend the colossal amount of 500 million Yen to buy BTC in a strategic move that follows a growing institutional trend in the cryptocurrency sector. Firms are using Bitcoin as a hedge against the depreciation of fiat currencies. The firm stated, “By buying cryptocurrencies, we will offset currency fluctuations and prepare for future market volatility.”
Bitcoin Investment is a Part of a Cash Management Strategy
The move by Remixpoint won’t be the first time the company is entering the crypto space and playing the “Michael Saylor Strategy.” Last September, the firm spent over $5.3 million to buy different cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche. Reports indicate that Remixpoint also holds a sizeable amount of other prominent cryptocurrencies, namely XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE). The firm stated that their decision followed the price surge that followed Bitcoin’s halving last April, as well as the expected approval of crypto spot ETFs.
During the last cryptocurrency purchase last September, records indicate that Remixpoint spent $4.22 million to purchase 64.4 Bitcoin pieces and a further $351,700 apiece to buy 130.1 ETH, 2,260.5 SOL, and 12,269.9 AVAX. The Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed company then stated it harbored plans to acquire an additional $10.5 million worth of Bitcoin, ETH, and altcoins. According to the firm’s board of directors, the move was part of a “cash management strategy” to use Bitcoin as a hedge against the depreciation of the Yen.
Remixpoint Joins a Growing Trend of Integrating Crypto
Remixpoint joins a growing trend of institutions within Japan and the rest of the world that are heavily investing in crypto assets. Like all other global fiat currencies, the Japanese Yen is facing severe pressure due to international policy divergence and tough local economic conditions. Pundits believe Remixpoint’s decision to consider Bitcoin as a hedge against depreciation could attract other local companies and help place the country firmly in a leading position within the crypto space.

While the company has yet to disclose the material impact of using the Michael Saylor Strategy in its financial statement, its shareholders are said to have already given a green light to the plan, which they believe is logical as a hedge against the Yen depreciation. That the Remixpoint financial statement doesn’t show any gains from the $5.3 million already spent on the earlier Bitcoin purchase doesn’t seem to have dimmed the company’s desire to diversify its balance sheet and reduce Yen-denominated holdings.
The Michael Saylor Strategy
According to information shared by Odaily on their X platform about the Michael Saylor Strategy on Bitcoin, the MicroStrategy CEO has chosen to center the asset manager’s operations on Bitcoin. The strategy involves using an Automated Market Maker (AMM) product to manage volatility and separate Bitcoin’s risk and performance from other income securities. The firm then transfers the performance results to the company’s MSTR stockholders so they can benefit from BTC’s market dynamics.
The Michael Saylor Strategy reflects a growing institutional trend where firms are integrating crypto into their conventional financial frameworks. The strategy seeks to leverage BTC’s unique characteristics to optimize a firm’s financial operations and offer additional value to shareholders.
The formula highlights an emerging trend within the financial management landscape where cryptocurrency plays an increasingly integral role. Saylor himself is on record stating the significance of using innovative financial strategies in navigating the intricacies of modern markets.
Conclusion
Remixpoint launched in 2004 and went public on the Japanese bourse two years later. The firm, which started as a software company, has diversified over time to include the electricity and automobile trading sectors. In March 2016, it launched cryptocurrency exchange BITPoint before selling it to rival crypto exchange operator and securities firm SBI.
