Lib Work Announces Bitcoin Purchase Worth ¥5 Billion ($34 Million)
Japan-based Lib Work announced that it decided to purchase 5 billion yen worth of Bitcoin at its board meeting held on August 18, 2025. The company stated that the digital assets to be purchased will be used as long-term storage of value.
In its statement, the company emphasized that Bitcoin has begun to be seen as “digital gold” in recent years and has gained an attractive position for long-term investors. It was also noted that holding reserves solely with cash assets carries risks, and crypto assets are preferred for risk diversification and preparation for future growth trends.
Lib Work will make the acquisition between September and December 2025. The company announced that it will comply with risk management and accounting standards and will conduct transactions through highly reliable crypto asset trading platforms.
The company announced that this investment will not have a direct impact on its current operating results, but they expect positive reflections on its financial statements as Bitcoin gains value in the long term. It was also stated that changes in the market values of crypto assets will be reflected in periodic gains or losses in the future.
This step is considered an important indicator that publicly traded companies in Japan are starting to include digital assets more in their balance sheets.
