The company also clarified that this announcement is not an offer to sell securities or a solicitation to purchase them.

HashKey Group, part of HashKey Holdings Limited, has announced a preliminary agreement to form a strategic alliance with ANAP Holdings Inc. (TSE: 3189), a publicly traded company in Tokyo and among Japan’s leading Bitcoin treasury firms. The companies aim to finalize formal agreements by the end of April 2026.

HashKey Japan’s Lending Service, an institutional-level wealth management solution built on HashKey Capital’s asset management and fund platform, will play a central role in this partnership. Through this collaboration, HashKey Japan will work with ANAP to deliver Bitcoin lending services, allowing ANAP to more effectively manage and optimize a portion of its Bitcoin reserves via a structured lending approach.

As of April 15, 2026, ANAP holds approximately 1,417 BTC, placing it among the top three publicly listed Bitcoin-holding companies in Japan. As part of its broader ambition to evolve into a Bitcoin-focused ecosystem company, ANAP is exploring ways not only to hold digital assets but also to generate returns from them. This partnership represents a significant step in HashKey Group’s strategy to expand its digital asset financial services presence in Japan, with HashKey Japan acting as the local operational hub. Initially centered on Bitcoin lending, the collaboration may extend into wider areas such as digital asset management, treasury optimization, and on-chain financial services.

By utilizing HashKey’s institutional-grade infrastructure and risk management expertise, the partnership is designed to help ANAP advance its strategy of storing, utilizing, earning from, and promoting Bitcoin. It also highlights HashKey Group’s ongoing commitment to the Japanese market, where it is building a localized platform to offer trading, asset management, and tokenization services aligned with regulatory requirements.

This collaboration with ANAP marks an important milestone in executing that vision, showcasing how institutional digital asset solutions can assist publicly listed companies in managing and generating value from Bitcoin treasury holdings. Both organizations are currently working through the necessary review processes to ensure full regulatory compliance ahead of a formal announcement and service launch. Looking ahead, HashKey Group and ANAP intend to explore broader cooperation in digital asset management and the wider Bitcoin ecosystem, fostering innovation and institutional adoption within Japan.
