Noriyuki Hirosue’s career began at Nomura Securities, but he soon found himself drawn to the internet's potential, leading him to launch and manage various IT startups.

Hirosue has held numerous high-ranking positions, including at GMO Internet, Gala, and Comuca.

In 2012, he became convinced that cryptocurrency technology would become the 'internet of money,' and this belief spurred him to found bitbank in 2014. This pioneering firm helped establish him as a central figure in the emerging digital currency landscape.

Hirosue's innovative spirit continued to shine in 2022, when he established the Japan Digital Asset Trust Preparatory Company (JADAT). Aimed at entry into the digital asset trust business for institutional investors and companies, he concurrently serves as the Representative Director of JADAT.
