Gumi Creates Crypto Treasury Strategy with $17M Investment in XRP
Tokyo-based Gumi, a leading video game developer, has ventured into the crypto world with a meaningful investment in XRP. The company announced on August 29 that it had acquired approximately $17 million worth of XRP, marking the start of its journey into the cryptocurrency realm.
This strategic move follows Gumi’s earlier decision to purchase Bitcoin. In the first half of 2025, the company invested around $6.7 million to buy 80,352 BTC. The plan includes staking Bitcoin on platforms like Babylon to maximize returns.
Gumi’s interest in XRP is driven by its potential in expanding international remittance adn liquidity networks. According to the company, “Investing in XRP aligns with our goal to tap into opportunities within the blockchain ecosystem.”
The trend of integrating XRP into corporate treasury strategies is gaining momentum. Several firms, like Everything Blockchain and VivoPower, are exploring ways to leverage XRP’s capabilities for financial growth.
Arthur Rozenberg, CEO of Everything Blockchain, stated, “Our partnership with Flare enables us to transform XRP into a yield-bearing asset, unlocking its true financial value.” Other companies, such as Webus International and Trident digital, have also embraced XRP in their financial strategies.
The increasing adoption of XRP comes at a crucial time as Ripple, the company behind the cryptocurrency, seeks to expand globally after facing legal challenges in the U.S.
