Our promises

Management policy

We will not pursue improper profit. We focus on substance and real activity, and will not expand in scale without purpose.

We deliberately keep the company small, deploying advanced technology and business in the fields large corporations find hard to enter precisely because of their size.

We select our products carefully. We actively welcome technical difficulty, and concentrate on products with high social utility and high added value.

We build broad alliances and firm trust across the industry, and by making the most of that trust we pursue research, development, and real-world deployment rivaling big capital — through mutual cooperation.

Our members are a small, carefully selected team. We set no formal rank hierarchy; order rests on ability and character, in an environment where each person can perform at their best.

The company's surplus profits are distributed to all members by appropriate means, with real support that takes their quality of life seriously — so that the company's success becomes each member's success and a contribution to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

We make sure every corporate activity leads to Bitcoin accumulation for our stakeholders. Through our existence and work, Bitcoin holdings across Japan grow, public understanding deepens, the market becomes more active — and that creates our business opportunities.
