Japanese corporate pension plans have finally entered the scene.

Crypto World Network News, according to Coinpost, Japan's National Business Enterprise Pension Fund plans to start investing in cryptocurrencies in the 2026 fiscal year, with an expected allocation ratio of about 1% of its total assets. The fund has approximately 1,200 small and medium-sized enterprises participating, with managed assets of about 21.3 billion yen (approximately $136 million). The fund plans to invest through passive funds managed by large hedge funds that include multiple cryptocurrencies, mainly to diversify currency risk. A person in charge of the fund stated that Bitcoin has almost no correlation with the US dollar index, so it can be considered one of the assets to hedge against currency devaluation.
