The company also said it will spend an additional $13 million in this digital asset as part of a new fund raise, showing how serious it is about digital currencies.

Gumi Inc Bitcoin Strategy

The Gumi Inc Bitcoin purchase is not the only move. It falls into the company's broader vision. It was founded in 2007 and is best known for top mobile hits such as Brave Frontier.

However, in recent years, it has ventured deep into the blockchain arena through its venture capital arm, gumi Cryptos Capital, that invests in early-stage crypto companies.

This is not the first occurrence of the organisation acquiring digital assets. The firm had earlier in 2025 invested approximately $17 million to buy XRP. 

By owning both XRP and BTC, the organisation is expressing faith in digital currencies as long-term stores of value that can help it grow in the future.

With such a solid foundation, the company enjoys greater maneuvering space as it juggles gaming, blockchain, and digital finance.

Japan's Vision for Bitcoin: Market Ripple and Metaplanet's Big Buy

Japan is rapidly emerging as a corporate adoption leader of this digital currency. In addition to the Gumi Inc Bitcoin decision, another Japanese company, Metaplanet, grabbed world headlines with its acquisition of 5,268 coins valued at $623 million. 

This took it to a total holding of 30,823 BTC and into fourth position as the largest global public holder.

Metaplanet’s buy was massive, but it’s purchase shows that interest is not limited to investment firms. 

Japanese companies from different industries are seeing this cryptocurrency as more than just a speculative asset; it's becoming part of their financial strategy. 

These steps together are fueling optimism that October could bring another strong rally for crypto markets.

Corporate Momentum in Bitcoin

It's not just Japan taking action. 

• During the last week, a total of 13 global public companies accumulated additional BTC in their coffers. 

• In all, the largest 100 public companies now have more than 1,031,231 BTC valued at almost $115 billion. 

• New purchases include Oranjebtc with 3,600 BTC, Strategy with 196 coins, and Cango Group with 141 BTC.

This is the context in which the Gumi Inc Bitcoin buyout is notable as it is from a gaming and entertainment corporation. 

It is confirmation that adoption of BTC is extending far beyond traditional finance and technology into new sectors that recognize the utility of digital assets.

Final Thoughts 

This is much more than a treasury action. It reflects the company's long-term vision of integrating gaming, blockchain, and finance and is amply justified by its investment in SBI Holdings.

Diversifying into cryptocurrencies, the firm is developing an immunity from future business concerns. 

While Japan takes bigger strides through Gumi and Metaplanet, the country's role in driving global cryptocurrency use is growing quickly. 

These moves have the ability to create waves across markets, building confidence and driving the next phase of the crypto space forward.
