Gumi Launches Digital Asset Treasury After $38 Million Raise, Targeting Bitcoin and XRP

The Japanese developer will commit part of the proceeds to BTC as reserve, with XRP positioned for payments under an SBI‑aligned plan.

Overview

Gumi completed a $38 million financing arranged by SBI Securities and earmarked about $13.5 million for Bitcoin and XRP as seed capital for a new Digital Asset Treasury.
The company describes Bitcoin as a store of value and liquidity tool, while positioning XRP for cross‑border settlement tied to Ripple and SBI networks.
A TDnet filing outlines a phased schedule for XRP purchases over multiple months, signaling a measured, treasury‑driven approach rather than short‑term trading.
Earlier in 2025, Gumi accumulated roughly $6.7 million in BTC and deployed those holdings into staking platforms to generate yield, according to prior disclosures.
Coverage differs on the exact split of the new allocation, with CoinCentral offering a contested breakdown and noting a roughly 6% share price rise following the announcement.
