Commitments and contingencies [Abstract]  
Commitments and contingencies Commitments and contingencies
(1)Customer deposited crypto assets
The Company has an obligation to safeguard all crypto assets held on behalf of customers from loss or theft. As
such, the Company may be liable to its customers for losses arising from the Company’s failure to safeguard
these assets. The Company has not incurred any losses from such obligations and, therefore, has not accrued
any related liabilities as of March 31, 2024 and 2025. This determination is based on the following factors: (i)
the Company has no known or historical experience of claims to use as a basis of measurement after the January
2018 cybersecurity incident (as described in "(4) Contingencies"). While the Company compensated customers
for that event, the related legal claims have been substantially resolved, and there is no recurring claims
experience. (ii) the Company accounts for and continually verifies the amount of crypto assets within its
control, and (iii) the Company has established security around private keys to minimize the risk of theft or loss.
(2)Purchase commitments
The contractual commitment amount related to the lease contract was ¥65 million and ¥nil million as of
March 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
(3)Availability under committed credit lines
The Company had committed credit lines from Monex Finance Corporation and JSF Trust and Banking Co.,
Ltd. for the purpose of stable operating capital in the year ended March 31, 2024 and 2025. The undrawn
commitments on these credit lines were as follows:

(4)Contingencies
In general, litigation has uncertainties and, therefore, it is difficult to make a reliable estimate on the financial
impact of potential outflows embodying economic benefits. Provisions are not recognized if they are not
probable to generate potential outflows embodying economic benefits or if the financial impact cannot be
estimated reliably. The possibility of any outflows in settlements regarding the lawsuits in dispute with the
Company is remote.
In January 2018, prior to Monex acquiring Coincheck, Coincheck’s NEM hot wallet was hacked and it lost
526.3 million NEM, or ¥46.6 billion, of customer assets. Although Coincheck compensated customers who
were adversely affected by this cybersecurity incident, it was subject to lawsuits relating to the calculation of the
compensation provided. All but one of these lawsuits had been resolved by judgment or alternative dispute
resolution as of March 31, 2025, and the remaining one was settled in June 2025. Since 2018 the Company has
invested in strengthening its cybersecurity and has become subject to operating procedures, including
regulations for the custody of customer crypto assets, implemented by the JVCEA.
