The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The Company’s voting rights ownership in bitbank is relatively small, limiting the extent to which it can directly participate in management decision-making and business operations. After comprehensively considering the transfer terms, business portfolio and allocation of management resources, the Company determined that reallocating management resources to areas including the cryptocurrency and blockchain businesses centered on Mercury would help optimize its risk profile, improve financial soundness and enhance corporate value over the medium to long term.
