The company added that an unnamed domestic crypto exchange would help it complete its BTC buy orders.
The company already has considerable crypto and web3 interests. Another of its De:Lithe titles, Last Memories, is a blockchain game.
The firm said its BTC buy would help “deepen understanding” of blockchain technology and “strengthen” its “technical capabilities” in the development sector.
Enish also wrote that crypto-buying was now “part of its financial strategy.” The firm added that it aims to diversify its financial assets, while “taking advantage of the liquidity and stability” of the Bitcoin market.
