bitbank to Relocate Headquarters to Tokyo Midtown Yaesu in January 2026

bitbank, Inc. will relocate its headquarters to Tokyo Midtown Yaesu on January 20, 2026. The new office will be located on the 10th floor of the Yaesu Central Tower, offering direct underground access to JR Tokyo Station. While maintaining its remote-work policy, the company aims to create an office environment that strengthens team cohesion and collaboration.

Founded in 2014, bitbank is a licensed cryptocurrency exchange operator. According to statistical data published by the Japan Virtual and Crypto Assets Exchange Association (JVCEA) covering the period from January 2024 to April 2025, bitbank ranked first in Japan for altcoin trading volume. The company became a subsidiary of MIXI, Inc. in 2021 and has continued to enhance its market presence, earning the top spot in ORICON’s Customer Satisfaction rankings for cryptocurrency exchanges for two consecutive years in 2024 and 2025.

Within Japan’s crypto asset industry, regulatory developments are also progressing. The Financial Services Agency (FSA) has indicated its intention to submit amendments to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act to the Diet as early as 2026, a move that would formally position crypto assets as financial instruments under Japanese law.

Similar relocations to prime central business districts have been observed across the industry. bitFlyer moved its headquarters to Tokyo Midtown (Akasaka, Minato Ward) in 2017, while Coincheck relocated to Shibuya Sakura Stage in July 2024. As the industry matures alongside regulatory clarity, crypto asset firms are increasingly choosing landmark office buildings in central Tokyo to enhance brand value and credibility.
