Japan corporate pension fund pushes to allocate 1 percent to cryptocurrencies
A Japan-wide business corporate pension fund based in Okayama plans to allocate about 1 percent of its assets to cryptocurrencies in fiscal 2026. It intends to invest in a passive fund run by a large hedge fund that holds multiple cryptocurrencies as part of a currency diversification strategy. The fund serves about 1,200 small and medium-sized companies and manages about 21.3 billion yen. Japan has also moved forward with legislation and product development linked to digital assets.
