What CoinPost does

CoinPost is a Japanese-language cryptocurrency and Web3 digital media company founded in 2017 by Kagami Takahito, headquartered in the Akihabara district of Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, and self-described as Japan's largest crypto media outlet. The company publishes daily news, market commentary, exchange and staking rate comparisons, and educational content covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, stablecoins, and other major digital assets, with distribution through its website (coinpost.jp), iOS and Android mobile applications, and a YouTube channel. Its core product portfolio includes the AI-powered CoinPost Terminal analytics platform, the news media site, WebX (an annual Web3 conference launched in 2023 that the company describes as Asia's largest), WebX STUDIO (a co-produced educational video program with publisher Gentosha), and a press release distribution service for crypto-industry clients.

The business model is built on three revenue streams: advertising and sponsored content (including dedicated AD sections and partner press releases) on the media site, ticket sales and sponsorship packages for the WebX conference (with title sponsors including Bitbank, bitFlyer, SBI Holdings, and Simplex for the 2026 edition), and mobile app monetization. The company serves Japanese retail and institutional cryptocurrency investors seeking localized market intelligence, as well as Web3 professionals engaging through the WebX event franchise. Founder Kagami Takahito's 2024 appointment to a Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) Web3 expert committee adds regulatory standing in the Japanese market. The company is privately held with 11-50 employees, has no disclosed parent company or subsidiaries, and is not venture-backed according to available sources. CoinPost's strategy centers on owning the Japanese-language crypto media and event ecosystem, with recent moves into adjacent fintech (MoneyX conference) and AI-driven analytics (CoinPost Terminal) signaling incremental product expansion.
