Bank of Japan

RSS

Bank of Japan announced on 30 October 2026 that it will more than double annual ETF disposals, raising the supply from about ¥330 billion to ¥860 billion at book value per year starting 1 January 2027. The new pace amounts to roughly ¥2 460 billion at indicative market value, about 0.1 % of Tokyo Stock Exchange trading. BOJ retains discretion to adjust or suspend sales and aims to avoid market impact, citing smooth disposals since January 2026. The sale increase is slated to test the market’s tolerance for faster equity‑fund sales and may indirectly affect Bitcoin exposure through potential equity volatility‑driven margin calls. The policy rate remains at 1.25 %, with no immediate change to the overnight call‑rate guideline. Governor Kazuo Ueda and board members Hajime Takata, Toichiro Asada, and Ayano Sato remain key personnel overseeing the decision, although overall monetary stance continues to focus on inflation management and financial stability.}]}· Entity summary generated by Graphiti
