This distracted Son focuses on the SoftBank Group’s business. It is well known that many projects invested by the SoftBank Group in the past two years have suffered losses and make people doubt Masayoshi Son’s ability.

Although Masayoshi Son did not say whether the problems encountered by the SoftBank Group in recent years are related to its investment in Bitcoin, it is clear that Bitcoin does distract Masayoshi Son from investing.

However, the final loss was not the rumored US$130 million but US$50 million. Masayoshi Son said he felt much better after exiting all the bitcoins.
