Unlocking Corporate Bitcoin as Productive Capital

Animoca Brands has partnered with Solv Protocol to offer large Bitcoin holders in Japan new avenues to generate yield from their holdings. The initiative targets corporations and listed entities holding significant BTC treasuries, providing a regulated, high-yield framework for corporate Bitcoin management.

Traditionally, Bitcoin is held as a non-yielding asset, providing no interest, dividends, or staking rewards. The new partnership leverages Solv’s universal Bitcoin-backed wrapper to enable treasury firms to earn annual yields ranging from 4% to 12%. Solv generates this yield through lending markets, liquidity provisioning to automated market maker (AMM) pools, and structured staking programs, turning idle Bitcoin into productive capital.

Kensuke Amo, CEO of Animoca Brands Japan, emphasized the strategic goal:

“Through this collaboration, we aim to create an environment where companies can not only hold Bitcoin as a financial asset but also leverage it as a new revenue engine that drives corporate growth.”

The platform is specifically designed to serve institutions seeking compliant, efficient ways to maximize the utility of their crypto holdings.

Solv’s Infrastructure and Institutional Expertise Drive Expansion

Ryan Chow, co-founder and CEO of Solv, highlighted the protocol’s proven track record:

“Bitcoin can serve as productive capital. Our next phase is delivering secure, compliant, and high-yield treasury solutions to Japan’s most forward-thinking corporations.”

Solv Protocol currently manages over $2.8 billion in assets and is backed by notable investors, including certain leading venture capital firms and blockchain-focused investment groups.

By combining Animoca Brands’ institutional network with Solv’s DeFi infrastructure, the initiative represents a significant step toward institutional adoption of Bitcoin as an active financial instrument, rather than a static treasury asset. The platform is expected to reshape corporate crypto strategy in Japan by offering both security and profitability in a single integrated solution.

Animoca Brands also announced the integration of the CHECK token, establishing it as the native utility token for gaming ecosystem development and governance participation.
