Remixpoint Becomes Japan’s First Public Company with This Innovation
The company noted that Remixpoint is the first public company in Japan to implement such a practice. The proposal to reward in Bitcoin was a response to shareholders’ initiatives urging top management to invest in the company’s securities. However, this contradicts existing Japanese legislation regarding insider trading. At the same time, the idea of sharing financial risks between management and shareholders has received support.
Remixpoint explained that the decision to choose Bitcoin is due to the close correlation between the company’s stock value and the exchange rate of this cryptocurrency, as well as the overall state of the crypto market. The company sees this step as a means of creating new corporate value and increasing trust from investors.
“We aim to create new corporate value by integrating three areas: crypto assets, energy, and the internet. And we firmly recognize the importance of Bitcoin as a primary asset,” stated Remixpoint in an official announcement.

Esihiko Takahashi emphasized that receiving a salary in Bitcoin is a direct signal to shareholders about the shared interests and responsibilities of management. According to him, this demonstrates a commitment to enhancing corporate value and managing the company with consideration for the wishes of the shareholders.
Remixpoint has been actively investing in crypto assets since September 2024 to diversify its investment portfolio. By the end of December of the same year, the company’s balance already included 333.19 BTC, and by mid-June 2025, the Bitcoin portfolio had grown to 1051 BTC.
In addition to Bitcoin, Remixpoint invests in a number of popular altcoins, including Solana, Dogecoin, XRP, and Ethereum, confirming its strategic focus on digital assets as part of its business model.
