I made a plush toy for the Agile Energy X.
It is displayed on one of their devices exhibited at Tokyo Bitcoin Base, which opened in April 2025.
Agile Energy X is a project that combines renewable energy with Bitcoin mining.
It is operated by a wholly owned subsidiary of TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company), Japan’s largest electric utility provider.

A customer purchased two pouches, a coaster (shown in the first image), and a Japanese-style drawstring bag (shown in the second image).
Thank YOU! I am obsessed with how beautifully you've translated the Bitcoin icon into the round drawstring pouch. And the craftsmanship that went into using the materials for the coin pouch. I am sad we didn't get to meet, but I look forward to seeing your goods at more markets! pic.twitter.com/45PhjyTub6

A customer purchased a card case.
I find Bitcoin payments (Lightning payments) incredibly convenient because they allow for instant transactions, even from people located far away.
When someone living on the other side of the world purchased an item, I was able to receive Bitcoin instantly, without the heavy fees often associated with traditional payment systems.
I hope the convenience of Bitcoin as a global currency, transcending national borders, will become widely recognized in Japan in the future.
