Gumi Approves ¥2.5 Billion XRP Plan, Formalizing Dual-Asset Treasury With Bitcoin

The move ties its treasury to SBI–Ripple payment rails through XRP’s utility, with Bitcoin positioned for income and reserve roles.

Overview

  • The board authorized a phased XRP acquisition totaling roughly $17 million to run from September 2025 through February 2026.
  • Executives describe XRP as an entry point to international remittance and liquidity networks, citing strategic fit with top shareholder SBI Holdings.
  • The company now treats Bitcoin as a store-of-value and staking income asset after an earlier ¥1 billion purchase deployed via Babylon.
  • Digital asset holdings will be marked to market each quarter, with valuation gains or losses recognized in the income statement.
  • Management positions the move within a wider shift of public companies adopting XRP, noting recent Ripple–SBI plans to roll out RLUSD in Japan.
