Protect your company's assets with Bitcoin? An automated investment service for small and medium-sized businesses is here!
Hello, I'm John, a blog writer who explains blockchain technology in an easy-to-understand way!
Recently, the prices of many things have been rising, and have you ever wondered, "Is it okay to just deposit Japanese yen in a bank?" In fact, not only we as individuals, but also companies have the same concerns. In such a situation, in order to protect company assets from "inflation (when the price of things rises and the value of money decreases)",Bitcoin (digital currency that can be used on the Internet)There is a growing movement overseas to purchase these products little by little.
Today, we bring you news about a new service called "Castle" that makes it easy for even small and medium-sized businesses to make this move!
Promising startup "Castle" successfully raises approximately 1.5 million yen!
The company I'd like to introduce this time, "Castle," has succeeded in raising a whopping $100 million (about 1 million yen in Japanese yen). This is called "fundraising" and is proof that the company has been recognized as having a promising future.
Moreover, the investors were well-known venture capital firms such as:
- Boost VC: The company is known for investing in startups (newly established companies) with new technologies.
- Winklevoss Capital: It is an investment company founded by the Winklevoss brothers, who were also the catalyst for the creation of Facebook, and is known particularly for its investments in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.
There must be something special about the services Castle offers if they are attracting the attention of such impressive investors!
What is Castle's "Company Bitcoin Savings" service?
So what exactly does Castle offer?
In a nutshell,"A service that automates the purchase of Bitcoin for small and medium-sized businesses to protect their company assets (also known as corporate finances or treasuries).".
…But that might be a little difficult to understand. Let me explain it more simply!
Companies hold the profits they make from their business in cash (Japanese yen, US dollars, etc.). However, if inflation continues, the value of that cash may decrease over time. This is why some people think that they should convert some of their cash into assets that are less likely to lose value. One option is Bitcoin.
Castle's service is like"The corporate version of Bitcoin savings"Its main features are as follows:
- Fully automated purchase: The company president or accountant does not need to operate an exchange to buy Bitcoin themselves. Once set up, it will automatically purchase a fixed amount of Bitcoin on a regular basis.
- Peace of mind for small and medium-sized businesses: Large companies may have a dedicated team, but this can be difficult for small and medium-sized businesses. This service is designed to make it easy for such small and medium-sized businesses to get started.
- Protecting Company Assets: The purpose of this service is not to make a lot of money from Bitcoin.Balance sheet (a sort of report card showing the company's financial situation)The primary objective is to protect against the risk of inflation.
In other words, it is a helpful tool that automatically converts a portion of the contents of a company's "piggy bank" into a different form of asset, called Bitcoin, to prevent the value of the contents from decreasing without the company's knowledge.
From the author John
Until now, investing in Bitcoin has had a very strong image of being for individuals. However, I think it is a very interesting change that it has emerged as a way for companies to protect their assets, and as a service that even small and medium-sized enterprises can easily adopt. I would like to keep an eye on whether the idea of putting bitcoins little by little into a company's "piggy bank" as insurance will become more widespread in Japan.
