Quantum Solutions, a Tokyo-listed AI firm, is set to acquire up to 3,000 BTC over the next year through its Hong Kong subsidiary, GPT Pals Studio. This decision is seen as a strategy to manage surplus funds, diversify its portfolio, and mitigate foreign exchange risks. Despite having a history of not holding crypto as reserve assets, the company believes that a Bitcoin treasury strategy can help hedge against inflation. The firm reported significant financial struggles, including a ¥160 million ($1 million) net loss in Q1 FY2026 and expressed doubts about its ongoing viability. Quantum plans to store its crypto assets on Hashkey Exchange, funded initially through $10 million in borrowed funds. This move parallels a broader trend where distressed companies turn to cryptocurrencies to reposition themselves in the market, though experts caution that such shifts often reflect more on marketing perception than on sound financial strategy.
