- Japanese real estate giant enters cryptocurrency market, accepting Bitcoin and Ethereum payments for income-producing properties.
- Company’s blockchain initiative led by veteran industry expert Yokiko Nishimura since 2022.
- Bitcoin transaction volume exceeded $19 trillion in 2024, showing strong market momentum.
- Properties available across major Japanese cities including Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka.

In a significant move bridging traditional real estate and digital assets, Open House Group has launched cryptocurrency payment options for its income-producing properties across Japan, marking one of the largest real estate firms in Asia to embrace digital currencies.
The initiative, spearheaded by blockchain veteran Yokiko Nishimura, leverages the massive growth in cryptocurrency markets, where Bitcoin transactions surpassed $19 trillion in 2024. This figure represents more than double the volume recorded in 2023, indicating growing institutional confidence in digital assets.
Open House Group’s property portfolio spans major Japanese metropolitan areas, offering various investment opportunities from studio apartments to office buildings. “Our integration of blockchain technology aims to revolutionize cross-border real estate transactions,” states Nishimura, who has been instrumental in developing cryptocurrency frameworks since 2015.
The company’s strategy aligns with broader market developments, particularly following the SEC’s Bitcoin ETF approval, which has attracted substantial institutional investment. The payment system currently accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum, with smart contract implementation planned to streamline property transactions.
This development comes as Japan’s real estate market increasingly attracts international investors seeking portfolio diversification. Buyers using cryptocurrency must navigate their local regulatory requirements, with Open House Group providing documentation in Japanese to ensure compliance with national regulations.
The property giant’s blockchain adoption represents a significant shift in traditional real estate practices, potentially setting a precedent for other major real estate firms in Asia to embrace digital currency transactions.
