Gumi Approves $17 Million XRP Treasury Buildout Through February 2026

The Tokyo-listed studio says the purchase aligns it with SBI-backed XRP payment networks.

Overview

  • The company will phase purchases from September 2025 to February 2026, targeting about 6 million XRP.
  • Gumi is expanding a dual-asset treasury in which Bitcoin supports staking income while XRP is treated as a utility asset for payments and liquidity.
  • Earlier in 2025, the firm bought 1 billion yen of Bitcoin and staked it via Babylon to generate yield.
  • Crypto holdings will be marked to market quarterly, with valuation gains and losses recorded in the income statement.
  • The plan complements major shareholder SBI HoldingsRipple initiatives in Japan, as Gumi shares fell over 2% and XRP dipped roughly 5% intraday after the announcement.
