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.

Tharimmune, Inc., the first publicly traded company to utilize Canton Coin ("CC") in support of the Canton Network’s mission to digitize traditional financial markets, has announced its approval to operate as a Super Validator on the network. This designation enhances Tharimmune’s role in securing network transactions while earning CC rewards to strengthen its digital asset portfolio.

As part of its commitment, Tharimmune will release detailed quarterly research covering on-chain analytics, updates on community growth, governance, and tokenomics, as well as network roadmap developments. The company will also host quarterly public webinars to foster discussions among ecosystem participants.

“Super Validators are integral to the Canton Network, handling over 700,000 transactions daily and $9 trillion in monthly volume,” said Mark Wendland, CEO of Tharimmune, Inc. “We are proud to support the network as it modernizes global financial infrastructure and enhances liquidity in financial markets through atomic settlement.”

“Tharimmune has shown a remarkable ability to engage institutional capital and align stakeholders in shaping the future of on-chain finance. We are excited to welcome them as a Super Validator on the Canton Network,” said Melvis Langyintuo, Executive Director at the Canton Foundation.

The Canton Network is increasingly adopted by financial institutions worldwide for its programmable privacy features, which enable firms to move transactions on-chain securely and efficiently. This configurable privacy ensures that critical information is shared only with authorized counterparties and regulators, while still allowing for instant settlement.

Tharimmune launched its distinctive digital asset treasury strategy in November 2025. Beyond acquiring CC and serving as a Super Validator, the company plans to invest in applications built on the Canton Network that drive institutional adoption and utility across capital markets. Tharimmune remains the only publicly traded company supported by the Canton Foundation.
