Japanese companies are turning to bitcoin and XRP as a weak yen pushes them to diversify their corporate treasuries, according to SBI VC Trade, as the crypto exchange’s registered accounts surpassed 2 million.
The crypto arm of Tokyo-based financial group SBI Holdings said usage of its corporate service, SBIVC for Prime, has grown as the weak yen prompts companies to distribute reserves beyond cash, with additional demand from companies delivering bitcoin or XRP through shareholder benefit programs.
It reported the milestone count on Tuesday, roughly double the million it counted in 2025.
The 2 million figure combines its VCTRADE and BITPOINT services and follows the merger of SBI VC Trade in April 2026 with sister company BitPoint Japan. The company plans to fully integrate the two brands by the end of December, which it said should reduce costs and unify service levels.
