イオレ, which is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market, announced a policy of selling all 151.21 BTC it holds, with the proceeds scheduled to be allocated to investments in AI data centers and other areas. Although a loss on sale of approximately ¥254 million is expected, the company will retain its HYPE holdings.
イオレ announced plans to sell all of its Bitcoin holdings, totaling 151.21 BTC, on the market. The sale will include staggered transactions from 30 October through the end of November, with the proceeds scheduled to be prioritized for investment in AI data centers, the provision of AI computing capacity and its neocloud business. Based on the market value at that point, the sale proceeds are expected to amount to ¥1.831 billion.
In connection with the sale, the carrying amount after fair-value measurement as of the end of September was approximately ¥2.085 billion, and a loss on sale of approximately ¥254 million is expected to be recorded. The company plans to recognize the loss on sale in cost of sales for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, and the amount will fluctuate depending on the market price of BTC.
イオレ explained that it was reviewing its capital allocation and indicated a policy of prioritizing investment in AI-related businesses. It also adjusted the use of funds, including those related to stock acquisition rights, reducing the amount allocated to digital asset purchases in part while increasing the amount allocated to AI data center-related investments.
Meanwhile, the company said it would continue to hold HYPE, the crypto asset provided by Hyperliquid. Representative director and president Takino (瀧野) described the sale as a capital allocation decision and also stated that the lending business would continue.
