SBI Holdings, Inc. today announced that its subsidiary SBI Crypto Co., Ltd., which operates a crypto asset mining business overseas, has confirmed an unauthorized outflow of crypto assets that it holds as its own assets.
SBI is currently working diligently to investigate the cause, determine the amount of the outflow, and implement measures to minimize the damage. However, the impact on its consolidated financial results is expected to be minor.
SBI VC Trade Co., Ltd. and BITPoint Japan Co., Ltd., which operate crypto asset exchange businesses in Japan, are separate crypto asset managing entities from SBI Crypto. No unauthorized outflow or other damage has been confirmed at either of these two companies, and SBI has confirmed that there has been no impact on customers who use their services.
Regarding SBI Crypto’s business operations, the company will continue to review them, including potential future restructuring.
