Bitcoin (BTC ) price may have taken a dip, but BTC accumulation mania is not showing any signs of slowing down, at least not yet.
The trend that was started and then perpetuated by Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR ), which currently holds 629,376 BTC or almost 3% of Bitcoin’s total supply, has prompted tons of public and private companies to take up this strategy to accumulate Bitcoin in order to protect as well as grow their capital.
Bitcoin’s adoption as a treasury asset by companies is primarily being led by the US-based entities, with their number surpassing 100. The US is followed by Canada and the UK at 43 and 20, respectively.
With 10 entities each, Japan and Germany have also made their way into the top countries with the largest number of entities becoming Bitcoin treasury companies.
Just earlier this week, Japan-based Lib Work Co. joined these ranks by announcing its plans to acquire Bitcoin for its corporate treasury. While a non-crypto native company, Lib Work isn’t exactly new to the world of cryptocurrency.
Just last month, it launched an NFT-backed 3D printed real-estate project. So, the firm is using non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to store the digital blueprints of its house. It said:
“By creating NFTs for 3D printed houses, Lib Work will build new housing distribution mechanisms for investors and users worldwide, actively promoting international brand value and expansion into new markets.”
The company is also using BTC as a payment method for its NFT-backed 3D printed home. By enabling Bitcoin payments, the firm aims to open its revolutionary idea to people all over the globe.
Why Lib Work Is Adding Bitcoin to Its Treasury
On August 18, 2025, Lib Work held a board meeting, which resolved that the company will purchase 500 million Japanese yen worth of Bitcoin, which amounts to about US$3.36 million at the current exchange rate of 148.70.
This accumulation will be made in a series of purchases that will begin in September and continue until December.
A risk management system, along with an accounting policy, will also be established to ensure safety and transparency. The acquisition, meanwhile, will be carried out using a crypto asset exchange.
The move has been made in response to macroeconomic risks and “to prepare for future growth areas with overseas operators,” the firm noted in the announcement, adding, “our company has decided to adopt a phased approach to acquisition and holding.”
As of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $116,500, down 6.4% from its peak just above $124,000 hit on August 14. At current prices, Lib Work could buy roughly 28 BTC, which would put it at about 105th place on the list of top Bitcoin treasury companies.
