KLab Begins Managing Own Funds Using AI Automated Trading System

KLab Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Tetsuya Sanada; hereinafter referred to as "KLab") announced today that, based on the results of development and testing to date, it has commenced managing its own funds using its AI-powered automated trading system for financial products (hereinafter referred to as "this AI Trade") starting July 1, 2026.

Since announcing the development of this AI on February 9, 2026, KLab has been working to verify and improve the accuracy of its AI models through backtesting and demo trading. Concurrently, KLab has been establishing a risk management system, preparing the production environment, and implementing security measures for the management of its own funds. As all these preparations have been completed as scheduled, KLab has begun operations with an initial investment of 10 million yen.

Additionally, KLab has launched the official website for KLab AI Trade to continuously share operational status and the latest information. https://aitrade.klab.com

Moving forward, KLab plans to gradually increase the investment funds while monitoring operational status and risk management, aiming to develop this venture into a pillar of business alongside its game business. The impact on the current fiscal year's earnings is currently undetermined.

Relationship with Dual Gold Treasury

KLab is implementing a financial strategy called "Dual Gold Treasury" (hereinafter, "DGT"), which involves holding Bitcoin and gold. DGT is a financial strategy that does not involve any trading, only rebalancing between Bitcoin and gold approximately once a year. DGT and AI Trade are completely separate projects operated by different departments. In the future, KLab plans to gradually transfer the Bitcoin held under DGT to AI Trade, with the aim of managing all of KLab's Bitcoin through AI Trade by the end of fiscal year 2026.

Verification of Effectiveness Through Operational Testing

KLab AI Trade achieved a maximum return of 857% over four years in backtesting (turning 1 million yen into 9.57 million yen). In demo trading, from March to June of this year, while Bitcoin prices fell by 16.4%, a recovery rate of +4.4% was achieved.

KLab AI Trade's AI learning used market data prior to January 1, 2022, the backtesting period. However, the possibility of backtesting overfitting (excessive optimization) occurring during the subsequent post-learning process cannot be denied. Furthermore, in live operations, performance may decline due to factors such as the impact of its own trading on market prices, execution status, and slippage.

System Features

Operates 24/7, 365 days a year. Makes decisions based on indicators and data, unaffected by emotions.

Analyzes and makes decisions every hour using over 90 parameters, including technical indicators like EMA spread and RSI, volatility indicators like ATR, derivative information, and on-chain information.

The AI determines market regimes such as uptrend, downtrend, and range, and applies the optimal trading logic and risk management for that regime. For example, it holds assets long-term during strong uptrends.

Designed to trade only in favorable situations and remain idle when characteristics are unclear. For instance, in a downtrend, it decides whether to wait or go short based on the degree of certainty.

Continuously monitors over 90 indicators on an hourly basis even while holding positions, allowing for immediate response to sudden market crashes. Adjusts position size, takes profits, and cuts losses as needed.

Future Developments

Following the management of its own funds, KLab plans to proceed with forming private funds and registering for investment advisory and agency services. In the future, in addition to Bitcoin, KLab also plans to develop and test AI automated trading systems for foreign exchange, stock price indices, and other financial products.

When expanding into businesses involving financial products, KLab will ensure appropriate systems are in place after thoroughly confirming compliance with laws and regulations in each country, licensing requirements, investor protection, and risk management systems.

KLab will continue to provide information on the operational status of this AI and future development progress. Detailed information regarding this AI, development progress, and related information will be disseminated periodically on the official website, official X, and official note.
