SoftBank Proposes U.S.-Japan Sovereign Wealth Fund for Tech Investments

According to BlockBeats, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son has proposed the creation of a joint U.S.-Japan sovereign wealth fund aimed at making significant investments in the American technology and infrastructure sectors. This proposal has been discussed at the highest political levels in both countries and could serve as a model for other governments seeking to deepen investment cooperation with the United States. Under the proposed structure, the U.S. Treasury and Japan's Ministry of Finance would jointly own and operate the fund, each holding substantial equity stakes. The fund would then open to other limited partner investors and potentially allow ordinary citizens from both countries to purchase shares. Sources indicate that to achieve its investment objectives, the fund would need to reach a substantial size, with an initial capital of $300 billion, followed by operations involving high leverage.
