Japan’s Remixpoint Makes Bold Move: CEO to Be Paid in Bitcoin—Pioneering the Future of Executive Compensation?
Another corporate giant flips the script on traditional payroll—this time, it’s Tokyo-based Remixpoint betting big on Bitcoin for its CEO’s paycheck. Is this a visionary leap or just another PR stunt in the crypto circus?
Why Bitcoin? Remixpoint isn’t just dipping a toe in crypto waters—it’s diving headfirst. Paying executives in digital assets signals confidence in Bitcoin’s staying power, even as Wall Street hedges its bets with gold-plated parachutes.
The ripple effect: From Tesla to MicroStrategy, corporate crypto adoption is snowballing. But Remixpoint’s move cranks it up a notch—proving Bitcoin isn’t just for balance sheets anymore. Now it’s personal.
Meanwhile, traditional finance bros clutch their fiat wallets: 'Volatility! Risk!'. Tell that to the CEOs stacking sats while their bonuses outpace inflation.
Bitcoin Adoption Deepens Across Japan
Remixpoint has been acquiring various cryptocurrencies to hedge against the yen’s volatility since September. It currently holds 1,051 Bitcoin (BTC), 901 ethereum (ETH), and a notable amount in Solana (SOL), XRP, and Dogecoin (DOGE).
Though Remixpoint is not alone in the race. Tokyo-listed firms like Metaplanet, Gumi, and Enish are also pushing deeper into Bitcoin. On Monday, Metaplanet bought 2,205 BTC, raising its total to 15,555 BTC. That stash now equals nearly ¥226 billion, or $1.7 billion.
Besides, the company’s BTC Yield—a key shareholder value metric—rose 15.1% between July 1 and July 7. More Japanese companies are using bitcoin to shield themselves from currency risk. Additionally, they view BTC as a growth-linked asset.
