Japanese nail salon operator Convano has officially launched its Bitcoin (BTC) acquisition strategy, following its ambitious plan to raise approximately \u00a5434 billion ($3 billion) to purchase 21,000 Bitcoin, equivalent to 0.1% of the total supply.<\/p>\n

According to an August 30 Bloomberg report<\/a>, the Tokyo-listed nail salon company plans to become one of the world\u2019s largest corporate Bitcoin holders. <\/p>\n

In response, Taiyo Azuma, Director of Convano\u2019s BTC Holding Strategy Office, outlined a three-phase Bitcoin acquisition plan, with a target of 2,000 BTC by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

The portfolio is expected to reach 10,000 BTC by August 2026, as Azuma stated, \u201cOur goal is clear. By March 2027, we aim to acquire 21,000 BTC and become one of the world\u2019s leading Bitcoin-holding companies.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n

Convano Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy Is a Response to Japan\u2019s Economic Pressures<\/span><\/h2>\n

Convano frames its BTC pivot as a strategic response to macroeconomic challenges. <\/p>\n

A prolonged decline in the yen, approximately 21% weaker<\/a> against the dollar over the past decade, has increased costs for wages and raw materials in its consumer services business.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started to think about Bitcoin because of persistent yen depreciation and geopolitical risks<\/em>,\u201d Azuma told Bloomberg. \u201cBitcoin is a long-term store of value.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of the funds Convano has raised to date, \u00a54.5 billion came from corporate bonds, and it has acquired 365 Bitcoin<\/a> with it.<\/p>\n

The Bitcoin acquisition announcement has driven Convano\u2019s stock higher, with shares climbing 223.27% in the past month and surging 1,414.68% YTD.<\/p>\n

Japan has become an unexpected hub for Bitcoin accumulation through publicly listed companies. <\/p>\n

Metaplanet Inc., a former hotel operator, now holds nearly 19,000 Bitcoin<\/a>, ranking among the top 10 global holders.<\/p>\n

According to Bitcoin Treasuries<\/a>, seven Japanese companies now rank among the top 100 public firms holding BTC.<\/p>\n

However, the sustainability of crypto treasury strategies remains a topic of debate. <\/p>\n

Bitcoin acquisition leaders like StrategyB (formerly MicroStrategy) face challenges as MSTR stock has declined 15.35%<\/a> over the past 30 days while Bitcoin trades 12.85% below its two-week high of $124,457.<\/p>\n

If StrategyB<\/a> could face this risk, a heavy drop in Convani stock means its financing model can collapse.<\/p>\n

When asked about concerns regarding Bitcoin price volatility, Azuma believes<\/a> the perceived risk is actually beneficial. <\/p>\n

According to him, Convano welcomes Bitcoin price drops for four reasons.<\/p>\n

First, lower prices allow the company to acquire more Bitcoin. Secondly, higher volatility increases the company\u2019s revenue. <\/p>\n

He added that the combination of \u201clow rates and high volatility\u201d creates optimal conditions for reaching the 21,000 BTC goal. Lastly, the company can effectively manage associated risks.<\/p>\n

Experts Warn Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy Built on \u201cShaky Ground\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

However, experts like VanEck\u2019s head of digital assets research Matthew Sigel argue<\/a> that Bitcoin treasury strategies adopted by public companies rest on \u201cshaky ground\u201d, with rising risks that could wipe away shareholder value.<\/p>\n

According to Sigel, when stocks trade significantly above their Bitcoin net asset value (NAV), issuing new equity generates premiums. <\/p>\n

However, once stock prices approach parity with the value of Bitcoin holdings, dilution occurs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is not capital formation. It is erosion<\/em>,\u201d Sigel wrote. <\/p>\n

He suggests<\/a> that companies using Bitcoin as a treasury asset should implement safeguards, such as pausing ATM programs and prioritizing stock buybacks while premiums exist.<\/p>\n

Glassnode lead analyst James Check shared similar concerns about the longevity of corporate Bitcoin treasury strategies.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy instinct is the Bitcoin treasury strategy has a far shorter lifespan than most expect<\/em>,\u201d Check posted<\/a> on X in July.<\/p>\n

Check argued that while early adopters, such as MicroStrategy, which holds nearly 600,000 BTC, have established their dominance, newer treasury firms face steeper challenges.<\/p>\n

Nobody wants the 50th Treasury company.<\/p>\n

I think we’re already close to the ‘show me’ phase, where it will be increasingly difficult for random company x to sustain a premium and get off the ground without a serious niche.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody wants the 50th treasury company<\/em>,\u201d he noted, warning that investors increasingly demand clear differentiation rather than another firm simply adding Bitcoin to its balance sheet.<\/p>\n
