Japan Bitcoin Industry is a Bitcoin technology company developing Lightning Network infrastructure and services for the Japanese market. Its Aurora platform helps businesses add Bitcoin payments to existing systems through point-of-sale and API tooling for invoices, payment tracking and integrations. Aurora is designed around self-custody: participating merchants operate their own Lightning nodes and receive payments directly, while Japan Bitcoin Industry supports operational requirements such as uptime, liquidity, accounting, auditing and compliance workflows. The company also operates UseBitcoin, a Bitcoin-only commerce service for purchasing prepaid cards; Yap Island, a rewards application; and the Bitcoin Research Institute media and research brand. Together, these products position Japan Bitcoin Industry as a payments, software and education company focused on making Bitcoin and Lightning practical for Japanese businesses and consumers.
