TOKYO, Dec. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacific Bridge Media and Consulting, Inc. (PBMC), a Tokyo-based multilingual media and communications firm, marks its 15th anniversary this year, celebrating a decade and a half of supporting global organizations with international storytelling, video production, and cross-border communications from Japan.
Founded in 2010 by international journalist Toshi Maeda, PBMC was established with the mission to connect the world with trusted content and help realize a richer and more equitable society. With a strong on-the-ground presence in Japan and an international perspective rooted in journalism, PBMC has become a trusted partner for over 15 years, producing high-quality content for a wide range of clients seeking local production expertise combined with global communication standards.
Its work includes a broad range of creative and communications services, including interviews, video messages, promotional and documentary videos, computer graphics, multilingual editorial content, and event-related media production. The company works closely with clients on a case-by-case basis, offering flexible support for both quick-turnaround projects and longer-term, strategic content initiatives that emphasize storytelling, clarity, and cross-cultural relevance.
These services are used by major Japanese corporations, leading international companies, Japanese government ministries and agencies, foreign government entities and embassies, as well as influential media outlets, news organizations, broadcast networks, and professional video production firms in Japan and overseas. Through these partnerships, PBMC has built a strong track record in delivering high-quality, multilingual content and strategic communications that meet the needs of both domestic and global audiences.
As PBMC enters its next chapter, the company continues to evolve alongside the changing media and communications landscape, strengthening its end-to-end support model and expanding both production and consulting capabilities. It has expanded its services to include global press release creation and distribution, international media relations support, and media training for executives and spokespeople. These services are designed to help organizations communicate more effectively with international media, investors, and stakeholders, while managing complex cross-border narratives with accuracy and confidence.
Comment from Toshi Maeda, CEO of Pacific Bridge Media and Consulting:
"Pacific Bridge Media & Consulting began 15 years ago as a small team producing news content for international media. Since then, we have expanded our client base to include a wide range of companies and government agencies, providing global content strategies and storytelling that communicate real value to audiences around the world.
In recent years, our work has grown beyond content production alone. We now deliver a full suite of media services – from bilingual press conferences and cross-border events to global PR support and media training – helping clients connect more effectively across languages and markets.
Even as our services broaden, our core values remain unchanged. Guided by our mission to connect the world with trusted content, our global team is committed to delivering reliable, first-hand information—stories we report ourselves—at a time when unverified content spreads easily online. We will continue bridging Japan and the world by sharing primary information across linguistic and cultural boundaries."

SINGAPORE, Dec. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HashKey Capital, a leading global asset manager specializing in crypto and blockchain, announced the successful first closing of its fourth fund, HashKey Fintech Multi-Strategy Fund IV ("Fund IV"). The fund concluded with US$250 million in total commitments, exceeding initial expectations and drawing significant interest from a diverse group of global institutional investors. As previously announced, the final AUM is targeted at US$500 million.
Fund IV, whose general partner is HashKey Capital Investment (part of HashKey Capital, and together with its affiliates, the "HashKey Group"), include a sophisticated mix of institutional investors, prominent family offices, and high net-worth individuals. Fund I has achieved a DPI of over 10x, which signals a robust institutional appetite for high-conviction blockchain exposure despite shifting global market dynamics.
Fund IV will pursue a multi-strategy investment approach to advance outstanding digital asset initiatives with a focus on infrastructures, scalable, and mass-adoption use cases globally. The fund combines a public-market strategy with liquidity generating crossover opportunities to capture structural inefficiencies for the digital assets industry. It is also complemented by selective private-market investments in innovations to enhance alpha.
A Legacy of High-Conviction Investing
Since its inception in 2018, HashKey Capital has been a cornerstone of the global blockchain ecosystem. With over US$1 billion in assets under management (AUM), the firm has managed a portfolio of more than 400 projects worldwide.
As an early institutional backer of Ethereum, HashKey Capital has a proven track record of identifying industry-defining technologies. Based in Singapore with a presence in Hong Kong and Japan, HashKey Capital is a pioneer in regulated investment, being among the first in Hong Kong to receive licensed upgrades for Type1 (Dealing in Securities), Type 4 (Securities Advisory) and Type 9 (Asset Management) services. Through its role in launching Hong Kong's first Spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs and organizing the Hong Kong Web3 Festival, HashKey Capital continues to be the definitive bridge between Eastern and Western crypto ecosystems and communities.
"With US $250 million in new capital, we are uniquely positioned to capture the massive growth occurring in emerging markets. These regions are the true testing grounds for blockchain's real world applications, and Fund IV will provide the essential fuel to scale those innovations globally." said Deng Chao, CEO of HashKey Capital.
"As we look toward 2026, the convergence of AI, blockchain, and institutional finance is creating unprecedented opportunities. Fund IV ensures that HashKey remains at the epicenter of this evolution, empowering projects that demonstrate both technical excellence and commercial viability." said Dr. Xiao Feng, Founder of HashKey Group.
Fund IV will provide investors with institutional-grade exposure to all facets of blockchain and crypto technologies. This new fund aims to invest with a multi-facet strategy in infrastructures, toolings, and applications that have potential for mass adoption.
