Japanese Firms Unlock Bitcoin Yield with Animoca & Solv Partnership

Animoca Brands and Solv Protocol have launched a platform for Japanese firms to earn 4%-12% annual yield on Bitcoin holdings, using DeFi strategies like lending, liquidity pools, and staking.

Animoca Brands has partnered with Solv Protocol to launch a platform enabling Japanese corporations and listed entities to generate annual yields of 4% to 12% on their Bitcoin holdings. The initiative targets firms with large Bitcoin treasuries, transforming traditionally idle BTC into productive capital through decentralized finance strategies such as lending markets, liquidity provisioning to automated market maker pools, and structured staking programs. Solv Protocol provides a universal Bitcoin-backed wrapper and institutional custody solutions, simplifying the transition for organizations new to crypto. The platform is designed to offer secure, compliant, and high-yield treasury management, addressing the growing demand among Japanese companies to optimize digital asset reserves. Backed by investors like Binance Labs and Blockchain Capital, Solv Protocol manages over $2.8 billion in assets, with SolvBTC holding over $1 billion in total value locked. This collaboration represents a significant step toward institutional adoption of Bitcoin as an active financial instrument in Japan, allowing companies to leverage Bitcoin as a new revenue engine for corporate growth.
