Tashiro's Bitcoin Salary

Takashi Tashiro, recently appointed CEO of Remixpoint, will receive his salary in Bitcoin. This decision aligns with the company's commitment to "shareholder-oriented management." The salary will be calculated in Japanese yen, and the equivalent amount will be purchased in Bitcoin and sent to a wallet designated by Tashiro.

"Bitcoin will be central to the company's financial strategy," said Tashiro, noting that Remixpoint already holds an impressive digital asset portfolio, including over 1,051 BTC.

CEO Simon Gerovich revealed that the firm aims to increase its Bitcoin reserves to 1% of all Bitcoin in existence by 2027. Since it began accumulating in 2024, the company has dramatically changed its business strategy and currently holds 15,555 BTC. Gerovich plans to use Bitcoin as collateral to access financing and acquire cash-generating assets such as a digital bank.
