Japanese company Quantum Solutions has announced an ambitious plan to acquire 3,000 Bitcoins, making it the largest corporate BTC holding in the country.
Plan for Bitcoin Acquisition
On July 23, Tokyo-listed Quantum Solutions announced plans to purchase 3,000 BTC, valued at approximately $350 million, over the next 12 months as part of a broader strategy to diversify its treasury assets. This acquisition will be the largest BTC purchase by a Japanese firm to date.
Support and Investment Management
The plan will commence with a $10 million initial investment by GPT Pals Studio Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quantum Solutions in Hong Kong. The international firm Integrated Asset Management (Asia) Limited, which also owns Forbes Media, will provide the capital for the investment.
> "Quantum Solutions demonstrates a clear strategic vision and determination," said Tak Cheung Yam, founder of Integrated Asset Management Limited. "I see compelling potential in their approach to building a significant Bitcoin treasury, and I look forward to supporting their efforts in unlocking institutional pathways and capital alignment."

Long-term Company Strategy
According to Quantum Solutions, this move is part of a broader long-term strategy rather than short-term speculation on Bitcoin’s price. For this reason, its subsidiary, GPT Pals Studio Limited, will manage the crypto assets, including infrastructure for cold and hot storage.
> "We are uniquely positioned to build a Bitcoin-first capital structure. Our goal is not only to accumulate Bitcoin, but to do so with institutional-grade discipline," said Francis Zhou, CEO of Quantum Solutions. "We are in advanced discussions with top-tier asset managers, sovereign wealth allocators, and fintech leaders to scale our treasury roadmap responsibly and rapidly." CITE_W_A
Quantum Solutions' plans to acquire Bitcoins reflect a growing interest in this asset class in Asia and could mark an important step in the establishment of cryptocurrencies as a long-term investment tool for the corporate sector.
