BlockBeats News: On May 25th, according to the Financial Times, three insiders revealed that SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son recently proposed the idea of establishing a joint US Japan sovereign wealth fund, aiming to make large-scale investments in the US technology and infrastructure sectors. This proposal has been discussed at the highest political level in both countries and may serve as a model for other governments to deepen investment cooperation with the United States. According to the proposed structure, the US Treasury Department and the Japanese Ministry of Finance will serve as co owners and operators of the fund, each holding significant equity, which will then be open to other limited partnership investors and may allow ordinary citizens in the US and Japan to subscribe for shares. According to insiders, in order to achieve investment goals, the fund size needs to reach a "huge" level - the initial capital may be $300 billion, and it will be operated through high leverage in the future.
