Quantum Solutions, a Tokyo-listed AI firm, is planning to acquire up to 3,000 BTC over the next year through its Hong Kong subsidiary, GPT Pals Studio. This decision comes despite the company facing financial difficulties, highlighted by a recent net loss of ¥160 million ($1 million) and a warning about significant doubts on its ongoing viability. The firm, which has not previously held crypto assets, aims to diversify its portfolio and manage surplus funds through this Bitcoin investment approach. The initial funding will come from borrowing, and the assets are to be held on Hashkey Exchange, a licensed crypto platform in Hong Kong. This move reflects a broader trend among financially strained companies, transitioning to cryptocurrencies as a potential solution for their financial challenges. Analysts suggest that these strategies may focus more on reshaping company perception rather than fundamentally addressing financial problems.
