Animoca Brands Japan Signs MOU with Solv Protocol for Strategic Cooperation in DAT Domain
Animoca Brands Japan has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for strategic cooperation in the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) domain with Solv Protocol, the Bitcoin decentralized finance (BTCFi: Bitcoin DeFi) protocol. Under this agreement, Animoca Brands Japan and Solv Protocol will support Japanese listed companies in holding and managing Bitcoin.
Solv Protocol is a project building a trillion-dollar Bitcoin-native financial ecosystem that expands Bitcoin liquidity and yield opportunities. Through its proprietary technology "Staking Abstraction Layer (SAL)" that facilitates Bitcoin staking, it provides an environment where BTC holders can easily access multiple DeFi services. "SolvBTC," which utilizes this technology, is a BTCfi solution that enables participation in lending and yield farming while holding BTC, maintaining high security through 1:1 backing guaranteed by BTC held as reserves by Solv Protocol.
In recent years, as many companies consider entering the Web3 space, the need for holding and managing digital assets has increased. While more listed companies are holding digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum as part of their treasury management strategies, few companies currently possess the operational expertise due to the specialized nature of digital assets and the difficulty of risk management.
In September 2025, Animoca Brands Japan announced the full-scale launch of its "Digital Asset Treasury Management Support Business," which provides multifaceted support for improving corporate value through efficient asset management using digital assets for listed companies. This business leverages the knowledge and network that Animoca Brands has cultivated globally to support clients in building optimal strategies based on their financial goals and risk tolerance, including holding digital assets (cryptocurrencies), active management through staking, lending, and DeFi yield farming, and entry into stock revenue-type businesses.
Through this basic agreement, Animoca Brands Japan will contribute to sustainable corporate growth and improved corporate value through support for treasury management and cryptocurrency lending that goes beyond mere asset holding.
