Japanese gaming and blockchain firm Gumi revealed that it intends to build a new treasury for digital assets based on XRP, with a purchase worth around $17 million (2.5 billion yen), which was approved at its recent board meeting. This purchase is expected to start from September 2025 to February 2026.
Gumi shared a press release to clarify that this investment isn’t for speculation or short-term profits. Instead, on the real-world role XRP plays in international money transfers and liquidity networks. “XRP will be used as a network asset to meet financial demand,” the press release noted.
The firm already invested 1 billion yen (about $6.7 million) into Bitcoin early this year, and used it in staking protocols, such as Babylon, to generate profits and add value to its assets. By doing this, the company was able to earn profits and increase the value of its holdings.
Now the company wants to balance its treasury between two main digital currencies: Bitcoin and XRP. According to its plan, Bitcoin will be held as a store of value. This means it will be kept as a reserve asset while also being used in lending or DeFi strategies to earn extra returns.
XRP, on the other hand, will be used as a utility asset to support payments and provide liquidity. Together, these two assets are expected to help Gumi grow its blockchain business and increase its corporate value over time.
The company also said it will check the performance of its assets every quarter. If the value of these holdings changes the company’s earnings in a big way, it promised to report the results quickly.
