ZWC_yamada “Bitcoin tests patience before it rewards conviction.”🇯🇵
In this week’s Episode 69 of Japan Digital Asset Weekly, we analyze how the $62,000 BTC price floor is reshaping the Japanese corporate landscape—separating the speculators from the infrastructure builders.
- The DAT Stress Test: Metaplanet faces over 200 billion yen ($1.3B) in unrealized losses. While CEO Simon Gerovich holds the line, other listed firms like CRAVIA are hitting loss-cut rules. Is the “Corporate HODL” strategy hitting a wall?
- SBI Holdings x Startale Alliance: Moving beyond Astar and Soneium, Startale announces “Strium Network” with SBI. A dedicated L1 for tokenized securities and AI-driven trading.
- Nomura’s Global Move: Laser Digital (Nomura HD) applies for a U.S. National Trust Bank charter. A clear signal that Japan’s largest investment bank is positioning to be a global regulated custodian.
- Startale’s Momentum: With 2 billion yen from Sony Innovation Fund and the trust of SBI, Sota Watanabe’s team is now the primary technical architect for Japan’s heavyweights.
The “Hype phase” of the DAT strategy is evolving into the “Infrastructure phase.” Success in this market now requires more than a trend—it requires a compliant, enterprise-grade GTM.
