TL;DR
- Gumi consolidated an $86 million corporate treasury into XRP, pursuing its ambition to become Japan’s largest corporate holder of the token in the domestic market.
- The company and SBI launched an $18.3 million actively managed fund that will diversify across Bitcoin and other digital assets as conditions change.
- A new institutional accounting platform will automate staking, gas-fee and onchain records, connecting treasury management, investment products and enterprise infrastructure across Japan.
SBI-backed Gumi has consolidated an $86 million corporate digital asset treasury into XRP, turning a reserve decision into one of Japan’s largest corporate commitments to the token. The gaming and blockchain company is not merely accumulating cryptocurrency, but building a broader institutional strategy around XRP’s use in payments, tokenization and finance. The striking choice is Gumi’s decision to concentrate its treasury in one asset rather than maintain a diversified crypto portfolio. That approach could strengthen its ambition to become Japan’s largest corporate XRP holder, while also tying more of its balance-sheet exposure to a single market.

XRP treasury, investment products and infrastructure converge
Alongside the treasury move, Gumi and SBI Group launched SBI Crypto Fund LLC, an actively managed vehicle capitalized with $18.3 million. Unlike the company’s XRP reserve, the fund will allocate across Bitcoin and other digital assets, adjusting positions as market conditions change. The two vehicles divide the strategy between concentrated corporate conviction and professionally managed diversification for institutional investors. This structure lets Gumi present XRP as its long-term reserve asset while using a separate fund to pursue broader opportunities, creating an unusual combination of treasury concentration and flexible portfolio management within the same expanding ecosystem.
The plan also includes a digital asset accounting platform developed by Hinode Technologies, a joint venture between Gumi subsidiary gC Labs and TISI Inc. The patent-pending system is designed for listed companies and institutions, automating records for staking rewards, gas fees and onchain transactions while integrating with existing accounting software. Gumi is addressing the operational burden that often blocks institutions from adopting digital assets at scale. The platform will first operate through SBI Crypto Fund before being commercialized for outside clients, linking investment products with infrastructure intended to satisfy Japan’s demanding accounting and compliance standards.
The initiatives fit SBI’s blockchain expansion, including the relationship with Ripple, work with Ondo Finance on tokenizing Japanese equities, and SBI VC Trade’s growth beyond 2 million accounts. Gumi’s $86 million XRP commitment is therefore part of a coordinated push spanning treasury management, investment products and enterprise infrastructure. The strategy aims to make XRP central to Gumi’s reserve policy while positioning the company as a digital asset treasury manager for institutional clients. Yet concentrating holdings in XRP means success will depend on adoption, execution and whether the surrounding services generate demand beyond market speculation.
