Japan's Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) exploring Bitcoin for diversification:
GPIF Overview

GPIF is the world's largest pension fund with $1.5 trillion in assets under management as of December 2023.
Its current portfolio includes domestic and foreign stocks, bonds, and alternative assets like infrastructure and real estate.

Exploring New Investment Options

GPIF is exploring diversifying its portfolio beyond traditional holdings by considering assets like Bitcoin, gold, forests, and farmland.
This move signals a potential shift towards more unconventional investments for the pension fund.
GPIF aims to gather information on how other pension funds incorporate such assets and their practical investment experiences.

Fact-Finding Mission

GPIF clarified that this is a preliminary step to explore new investment options.
Any expansion of investment targets will depend on the findings and subsequent research from this initiative.
The fund has not made any firm commitments to invest in Bitcoin or other new asset classes yet.

Portfolio Diversification Efforts

In recent years, GPIF has focused on enhancing operational sophistication and diversifying its portfolio.
Since 2022, it has handpicked 56 active funds spanning North American, developed countries, and Japanese stocks.
Considering Bitcoin could further propel GPIF's diversification efforts if it decides to invest in the future.
