Gambar MBK Co., Ltd. Launches Property Payment Service with Bitcoin (BTC)!

Jakarta, Pintu News – Merchant Bankers (MBK Co., Ltd), a Japanese investment firm, recently announced the launch of a Bitcoin based real estate settlement service. The service is designed to ease cross-border property payments for foreign investors, which is expected to change the way property transactions are conducted globally.

Announcement and Market Reaction

Following the announcement on September 22, trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange was suspended due to a public holiday on September 23. When trading resumed on September 24, MBK Co., Ltd’s stock peaked at ¥319 per share, up ¥41 from its previous close of ¥278.

The stock eventually closed at ¥281, an increase of about 1.44% from the previous day. This increase is considered a positive market response to the new service announced. Investors seem to be optimistic about the potential of Bitcoin (BTC)-based property settlement services in facilitating more efficient cross-border property transactions.

How it Works and Launch Plan

The service allows overseas buyers to send the Bitcoin (BTC) equivalent of the purchase price to a digital wallet managed by a licensed crypto exchange. At the same time, Merchant Bankers will send the agreed yen amount to the seller of the property.

This process is done synchronously, minimizing the delays that often occur with conventional international wire payments. This operational framework was developed with regulated crypto exchange partners, leveraging experience from previous collaborations with BTC Box and Angoo Fintech from Estonia.

The launch plan will focus on two main channels: domestic real estate brokers serving foreign clients and access through MBK’s overseas subsidiaries, such as MBK ASIA LIMITED in Hong Kong and Estonian Japan Trading Company AS.

Strategic and Regulatory Considerations

Currently, Merchant Bankers does not hold Bitcoin (BTC) as a corporate asset, but is evaluating management approaches for cryptocurrencies accumulated through this service. In addition, the company plans to offer 19 urban properties it owns, with a total value of approximately $56 million (JPY 8.2 billion), to foreign buyers through the platform.

These properties generate annual rental income of approximately $4.7 million (JPY 700 million), with annual investment returns in the mid-single figure range. Oversight by the Financial Services Authority of Japan and other authorized agencies will be an important factor in the adoption of these services. Compliance, depository arrangements, and anti-money laundering controls will influence the possible use of cryptocurrency-based settlements within the domestic market.

Conclusion

By introducing digital asset infrastructure in property transactions, Merchant Bankers seeks to facilitate foreign investment and expand the use of modern financial technology. This service not only offers convenience and speed in transactions, but also opens up new opportunities for the real estate market in Japan and global investors.
