The post Bitcoin, XRP draw Japanese firms as weak yen drives treasury diversification appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Japanese companies are turning to bitcoin and XRP as a weak yen pushes them to diversify their corporate treasuries, according to SBI VC Trade, as the crypto exchange’s registered accounts passed 2 million. The crypto arm of financial group Tokyo-based SBI Holdings said use of its corporate service, SBIVC for Prime, has grown as the weak yen drives firms to spread reserves beyond cash, with added demand from companies that hand out bitcoin or XRP through shareholder-perk programs. It reported the account milestone on Tuesday, roughly double the 1 million it counted in 2025. The 2 million figure combines its VCTRADE and BITPOINT services and follows SBI VC Trade’s April 2026 merger with sister firm BitPoint Japan. The company plans to fully integrate the two brands around the end of December, which it said should cut costs and unify service levels. Source: https://w

However, a detailed look inside the sector shows that this comeback was not the result of new investment inflows, but a mathematical rescue driven by the price surge of XRP itself. Math behind the comeback to billion-dollar club The US XRP ETFs returned to the billion-dollar threshold thanks to an organic recalculation of the value of their underlying holdings. Over the past week, the native cryptocurrency of the XRP Ledger posted a strong 10.5% gain, settling at $1.15 after a prolonged June decline toward the dangerous $1.00 mark.
