Animoca and RootstockLabs launch Bitcoin treasury tools
5.3 Investments Animoca Brands Japan and RootstockLabs are partnering to deliver Bitcoin-native treasury solutions for Japanese corporations, enabling active digital asset management and regulatory compliance.
Animoca Brands Japan and RootstockLabs have announced a partnership to develop Bitcoin-native treasury management solutions for Japanese corporations. This collaboration will localize Rootstock’s institutional Bitcoin infrastructure, empowering companies to move beyond passive Bitcoin holdings and actively manage digital assets. The initiative will focus on treasury optimization, Bitcoin-backed financial strategies, liquidity management, and access to Rootstock-based assets like rBTC—a Bitcoin-pegged token used within Rootstock’s DeFi ecosystem. Rootstock operates as a Bitcoin sidechain secured by merged mining, inheriting over 80% of Bitcoin’s hash power and supporting Ethereum-compatible smart contracts. Designed to meet the operational, regulatory, and governance needs of Japanese firms, the project offers compliance-focused, structured, and regulated ways to deploy Bitcoin in treasury operations. This move reflects a growing trend among Japanese companies to integrate cryptoassets into their financial strategies while adhering to local legal frameworks.
