Animoca Brands has partnered with DeFi platform Solv Protocol to provide revenue generation opportunities for businesses holding Bitcoin in Japan. This move aims to transform Bitcoin, which was originally only used for holding, into a source of funding for business development.
The two companies announced the partnership through a joint statement on the 10th (local time). Kensuke Amo, representative of Animoca Brands in Japan, said: "Most companies are only holding Bitcoin, and we hope to transform it into a new revenue engine for corporate growth through this partnership. ”
The partnership will combine Solv Protocol’s “Bitcoin wrapping” technology with Animoca Brands’ network of institutional investors for listed companies and large corporations in Japan. The primary objective is to provide an annualized yield of 4% to 12% on its Bitcoin holdings.
Bitcoin itself is an asset that is difficult to expect interest, dividends, or staking gains. It’s hard to earn just by storing it in your wallet. However, Bitcoin deposits or staking through DeFi platforms can design independent yield structures. In this way, Solv plans to provide participating companies with an annualized earnings structure.
This collaboration is gaining traction because it demonstrates the opportunity for businesses to actively leverage digital assets, even in countries like Japan with conservative fiscal policies. The strategy, particularly targeting listed companies and large corporations, is believed to be a potential catalyst for expanding Bitcoin adoption within the traditional financial system.

This suggests that Bitcoin is beginning to move beyond mere store of value as part of corporate financial strategies, demonstrating the shift towards digital assets towards traditional financial systems. The level of participation of large Japanese companies will be a key indicator of future market reaction.
💡 Strategic points
Businesses holding Bitcoin can consider shifting from mere asset preservation to income-generating operational strategies. In particular, the annualized yield of 4% to 12% can be seen as a competitive alternative to bonds.
