Tokyo-listed Beat Holdings to boost its Bitcoin ETF exposure fivefold, seeks $34m cap

Japanese financial company Beat Holdings has raised its Bitcoin and ETF investment ceiling to $34 million and drawn $2.8 million from a credit facility to support additional purchases. Beat Holdings, a Tokyo-listed company, just bumped up its Bitcoin ( BTC ) and crypto ETF investment cap from ¥1 billion to a whopping ¥5 billion, saying in a press release that the board gave the green light to “enable the Group to continuously invest in cryptocurrencies and/or its ETF,” a fivefold jump from the initial plan revealed back in February. Beat Holdings said that so far, it has purchased approximately ¥1 billion (around $6.8 million) worth of the iShares Bitcoin Trust shares. Now, the Tokyo-listed company says macroeconomic trends and growing institutional interest in Bitcoin favor increasing investment cap. “This extra liquidity can spill over into global financial markets, supporting risk assets, including Bitcoin, especially since Bitcoin and related ETF has increasingly become a hedge against inflation and currency debasement.” Beat Holdings To support the expanded investments, Beat has drawn $2.8 million (¥400 million) from its revolving credit facility.

Despite its broad geographic presence, the firm primarily focuses on delivering financial information and services within the Chinese market. In a January statement outlining its rationale for targeting cryptocurrencies and related ETFs, Beat cited the widespread adoption and long-term growth potential of Bitcoin and Ethereum ( ETH ). The firm also noted the 2024 approvals of ETFs for both assets by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a key driver. Beyond direct investment, Beat said it’s also exploring the acquisition of intellectual property linked to blockchain-based digital assets such as non-fungible tokens and altcoins, including rights to manga and anime characters. The company is also weighing the potential to create proprietary tokens and may establish or acquire cryptocurrency exchanges as part of its broader strategy.
