Agile Media Network to trial Bitcoin investment for new business

Agile Media Network announced plans to invest JPY 10 million of its own funds in Bitcoin as a trial to evaluate the potential of a new cryptocurrency investment business. The company will purchase the Bitcoin between April and September 2025, overseen by an external advisor. The decision was made after the Board of Directors addressed concerns raised by the Governance Enhancement Committee, emphasizing the need to explore digital asset utilization in future business strategies, especially Web3, NFTs, DeFi, and their potential for transforming finance, gaming, and entertainment. The company will monitor the investment daily and report any significant changes. Risk management will include a stop-loss rule to limit losses to 30% of the initial investment, while the company's gain or loss will be reflected in each quarter's financial statements. An outside advisor has been retained at a cost of JPY 150,000 per month to assist in the analysis.
