Satori Coin's Philanthropic Milestone: Charity Auction Success

In a remarkable demonstration of community spirit and commitment to social good, Satori Coin has successfully conducted a charity auction for its 10th anniversary model, the Satori Coin Gi. The auction raised a staggering total of 0.31802 BTC, which translates to approximately ¥4,433,636 based on the Bitcoin to Yen conversion rate as of December 21, 2025. The entire amount raised, minus only the operational costs of the auction site, will be donated to five carefully selected non-profit organizations (NPOs).

This significant endeavor was facilitated by KIZUNA HUB, operated by Gracone, a blockchain consulting firm based in Shibuya, Tokyo, led by CEO Mai Fujimoto. The chosen beneficiaries include:

• - Certified NPO D×P
• - Certified NPO PLAS
• - Certified NPO D-SHiPS32
• - Marignani Lab
• - Salvation Army Singapore

Each organization will receive an equal share of the funds raised. Further details about the distribution will be released shortly through the official websites and social media channels of both Satori Coin and KIZUNA HUB.

About Satori Coin Gi

The Satori Coin brand first emerged in Japan in 2015, pioneering the concept of physical Bitcoin—an asset you can hold in your hand. The new Satori Coin Gi, launched to celebrate its 10th anniversary, is a special edition that marries classic beauty with modern design and state-of-the-art security technology.

During the auction, the coins were sold in various tiers:

• - Serial #0001: Special auction slot
• - Serial #0002–#0009: Top bidders could select their preferred numbers

This crowdfunding effort illustrates a pioneering model in which proceeds from the auction, aside from operational fees, are directed entirely towards meaningful charitable contributions.

As Mai Fujimoto highlights, KIZUNA HUB aims to leverage cryptocurrencies to contribute to social causes, enhancing the engagement of charitable organizations with public support. The innovative auction format allowed for the blending of art, charity, and cryptocurrency, showcasing an emerging trend in philanthropy.

Responses from the Beneficiary Organizations

Norikazu Imai, Director of Certified NPO D×P

“We are incredibly grateful for the donations made through the Satori Coin Gi charity auction. The young individuals we serve often face dire situations regarding basic needs like food and shelter. Satori Coin and KIZUNA HUB’s commitment to giving back through cryptocurrency greatly supports our efforts, particularly as we prepare to assist youth who may feel isolated during the year-end holidays. These contributions will facilitate emergency food support and counseling to help these young people take meaningful steps toward their future.”

Ruiko Kadota, Representative Director of Certified NPO PLAS

“Our organization works in East Africa to empower children and their families facing poverty and complex family dynamics. The funds from the Satori Coin Gi charity auction will play a crucial role in supporting initiatives that prevent early pregnancies and promote educational opportunities. We are truly moved that this anniversary product incorporates a charitable aspect. By utilizing blockchain technology, we see new possibilities for how people can engage in social good.”

Daisuke Uehara, Director of Certified NPO D-SHiPS32

“We thank you sincerely for your support! This is our first experience receiving donations in this way, and it presents a new challenge for us we are excited to undertake.

Reflections from Satori Coin Team

The proceeds from this charity event mark the culmination of five years of dedication from the Satori Coin team. We are thrilled to partner with organizations that share our vision of using Bitcoin as a tool for positive change in the world.

As emphasized by Mai Fujimoto of KIZUNA HUB, the growth of awareness among NPOs regarding accepting donations in Bitcoin is promising. The shift towards using Bitcoin as a donation method signifies a deeper integration of cryptocurrency into the fabric of social contributions, allowing a more direct connection between supporters and the causes they care about.
