Mirai Wealth Management Co., Ltd. (MWM) has entered into a strategic partnership agreement with Hakuhodo Key3 Inc., a company that supports businesses in the Web3.0 field, to collaborate on services related to the development of the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) business.
Through this joint Web3.0 initiative, the two companies aim to support corporate utilization of digital assets and contribute to enhancing enterprise value.
Overview and Background
In recent years, corporations have shown growing interest in managing digital assets, driven by needs such as strengthening financial foundations, diversifying asset management, reinforcing branding strategies, and creating new business opportunities.
MWM plans to leverage its expertise in digital asset management to meet the increasing demand for Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) support among general corporations.
At the same time, in order to offer these support services to a broader range of companies and high-net-worth individuals—while also helping to enhance corporate branding—MWM recognized the importance of partnering with an organization that possesses extensive networks and strong marketing capabilities. This led to the formation of the strategic partnership with Hakuhodo Key3, which develops various Web3.0-related services under the Hakuhodo Group.
Service Details
Under the partnership, MWM and Hakuhodo Key3 will jointly provide implementation support services for the DAT business, with the goal of promoting the ownership and utilization of digital assets by Japanese companies. Specifically, the collaboration will offer the following forms of assistance to corporations considering or introducing DAT operations:
- Internal and shareholder communication support: Helping companies effectively communicate the significance and rationale for engaging in DAT and holding digital assets to employees and shareholders.
- Digital asset procurement and management support: Advising on acquisition and management methods for digital assets, and introducing registered domestic crypto-asset exchange service providers to facilitate smooth transactions and secure post-acquisition management.
(Note: MWM is not a registered crypto-asset exchange service provider and will only provide introductions, not direct purchase support.) - Audit and accounting support: Providing guidance on accounting treatments and audit correspondence following digital asset acquisition, leveraging MWM’s operational experience.
- Digital asset management support: Assisting companies in utilizing their digital assets as capital for further value generation, based on MWM’s expertise.
- IR/SNS communication strategy: Supporting disclosure and social media strategies to effectively communicate corporate initiatives and results.
- New business planning and development: Assisting in planning and developing new businesses that create synergies between DAT and a company’s existing operations using digital assets and blockchain technology.
Although the official service launch date has not yet been disclosed, the partnership agreement has been concluded, and collaboration between the two firms is already underway.
As MWM does not hold a crypto-asset exchange license, it will not engage in direct trading support but will limit its involvement to introductions of trusted exchange service providers.
