CyberStep, the operator of the well-known Japanese online claw machine game Toreba, announced the launch of a new business for strategic reserve and operation of encrypted assets from July 1st, with a planned maximum investment of 1 billion yen. The new business is managed by its newly established strategic department Cryptech Capital, aiming to build a new revenue base and accelerate expansion into the Web3 field. The company plans to establish a "self circulating circular token economy", where tokens generated through its Web3 service can be exchanged for mainstream encrypted assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, serving as enterprise asset reserves.
As a specific case, its blockchain game Eggle allows users to obtain Eggle Energy Token (ENG) during the process of cultivating NFT characters, which will be included in the strategic investment scope of new businesses. Cryptech Capital will also invest in BTC, ETH, and other potential tokens, with the goal of achieving dual returns through asset appreciation and liquidity provision.
The initial budget is 200 million yen, and it is expected to gradually expand to 1 billion yen by May 2026.
