Remixpoint, a Tokyo-listed firm, will start compensating its CEO solely in Bitcoin, making it the first publicly traded company in Japan to do so.
The decision aims to align the leadership's economic interests with shareholders, given constraints preventing executives from holding stock due to Japan's insider trading regulations.
Remixpoint's CEO, Yoshihiko Takahashi, mentioned that receiving compensation in Bitcoin shows alignment with shareholders and commitment to enhancing corporate value.
The company holds various digital assets, including 1,051.56 BTC and 901.44 ETH, as part of a strategy to hedge against yen depreciation and diversify currency risk.
