Japan's National Business Enterprise Pension Fund Plans to Allocate 1% to Cryptocurrencies

CoinFeed, June 21 – According to CoinPost, Japan's National Business Enterprise Pension Fund, which has about 1,200 small and medium-sized enterprise members, plans to start investing in cryptocurrencies in fiscal year 2026. The fund intends to allocate approximately 1% of its total assets under management to cryptocurrencies, investing in passive funds managed by large hedge funds that include a variety of cryptocurrencies. The asset allocation for fiscal year 2025 is: 80% in yen, 15% in US dollars, and 5% in other currencies. However, in fiscal year 2026, the yen allocation will decrease to 70%, with a new 10% allocation to developed country currencies. The remaining 5% will consist of emerging market currencies, gold, and cryptocurrencies. The main goal is to diversify currency risk.
