Japan's nationwide corporate pension fund plan is set to start investing in cryptocurrencies during the 2026 fiscal year, with an expected allocation of about 1% of total managed assets. The fund includes approximately 1,200 small and medium-sized enterprises, managing assets worth around 21.3 billion yen (approximately $136 million USD). Reports indicate that the fund plans to invest through a passive fund managed by major hedge funds, which incorporates multiple cryptocurrencies, with the primary goal of diversifying currency risk. A fund representative stated that Bitcoin has almost no correlation with the US Dollar Index, making it one of the assets that can be considered for hedging against currency value declines.
