How to Incorporate Bitcoin and Stablecoins into Corporate Finance? Workshop on January 28 with Practicing Companies and Experts

In 2025, the adoption of cryptocurrencies among Japanese companies advanced rapidly. As a new financial strategy called Digital Asset Treasury (DAT), several major corporations are actively holding Bitcoin and utilizing stablecoins.

Expanding Corporate Use of Cryptocurrencies

Examples include Convarno’s initiation of Bitcoin accumulation strategies, ANAP Holdings’ promotion of Bitcoin holdings, and SBI VC Trade’s enterprise solutions. As companies aim to improve fund management and international settlement efficiency, interest in stablecoins is also increasing, and the use cases are entering a phase of diversification.

On the other hand, fully integrating cryptocurrencies and stablecoins into corporate finance requires more than just managing price volatility risks. It involves complex practical issues such as accounting, tax reporting, internal controls, secure asset custody, and governance.

Overview of the Special Workshop on January 28

To address these challenges, N.Avenue Inc. (NADA NEWS) will hold a special workshop. Business leaders who are actively holding and utilizing Bitcoin, along with experts well-versed in cryptocurrency taxation, will participate to explore corporate strategies looking ahead to 2026 from multiple angles.
