Japan-based Lib Work announced during its board meeting on August 18, 2025, that it has decided to purchase Bitcoin worth 5 billion yen (approximately $34 million).
Lib Work plans to use the acquired digital assets as a long-term store of value. In its statement, the company emphasized that Bitcoin has increasingly been regarded as “digital gold” in recent years, making it an attractive investment tool for long-term investors. It also highlighted the risks of holding reserves solely in cash assets.
Timing and Implementation Plan
The planned acquisition will take place between September and December 2025. Lib Work stated that the transactions will be carried out through highly reliable cryptocurrency trading platforms and will fully comply with risk management and accounting standards.
Financial Impact and Risk Management
The company noted that this investment will not have a direct impact on its current business results; however, if Bitcoin appreciates in value over the long term, it is expected to positively affect its financial statements. At the same time, the company acknowledged that fluctuations in the market value of digital assets may result in periodic gains or losses in the future.
The Growing Importance of Digital Assets in Japan
Lib Work’s Bitcoin investment stands out as a strong signal of the increasing interest of publicly listed Japanese companies in digital assets. In recent years, Japan has strengthened its regulatory frameworks around cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, enabling companies to integrate digital assets into their financial planning. Particularly, stablecoins and Bitcoin are increasingly being adopted both for risk diversification and as a long-term store of value.
