What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin acts as the benchmark cryptocurrency that most of the market is priced against. It runs on a decentralised network that records transactions on a public blockchain and uses proof of work to verify them.
Miners compete to validate transactions and add new blocks, which keeps the network secure. The protocol issues new Bitcoin through this process, but it limits total supply. It caps supply at 21 million coins and reduces issuance every four years through halvings.
This fixed supply drives Bitcoin’s role as “digital gold”. Its long track record and deep liquidity make it the dominant asset in the crypto market.

Why does yen depreciation affect Bitcoin's JPY price?
Bitcoin’s price in yen rises when the yen weakens because Bitcoin is mostly priced in US dollars. When USD/JPY moves higher, the same dollar-priced Bitcoin converts into more yen.
Bank of Japan policy has played a big role in this. Long periods of low or negative interest rates and yield curve control have kept the yen weak against the dollar.
The yen carry trade adds to the effect. Investors borrow yen at low rates and move that capital into higher-return assets, including Bitcoin, which increases demand.
For some Japanese investors, Bitcoin also acts as a hedge. When the yen loses value and savings rates stay low, Bitcoin’s fixed supply becomes more attractive as an alternative store of value.

How does Japan's crypto tax regime affect Bitcoin holders?
Japan taxes cryptocurrency gains as miscellaneous income, with rates that can go as high as 55% when national and local taxes are combined. This means profits from trading Bitcoin can be heavily taxed.
Frequent trading becomes expensive because short-term gains are taxed at your full marginal rate. You only pay tax when you realise a profit, so holding Bitcoin without selling does not trigger a tax event.
This structure pushes many investors towards a long-term approach. By holding instead of trading, they delay taxes and reduce how often they are exposed to high rates.
Bitcoin often fits this strategy better than more volatile assets. Its relatively lower volatility makes it easier to hold over longer periods under this tax system.
