Gumi Targets XRP Dominance in Japan, Shifts $86M Portfolio

Gumi Inc., a Japanese gaming and blockchain company, has announced plans to become Japan's largest XRP treasury company. The firm is reorganizing its crypto strategy around XRP and expanding its partnership with SBI Group.

The move has attracted attention within the XRP community due in part to SBI's influence and chairman Yoshitaka Kitao's support for companies that actively manage XRP treasuries.

Gumi plans to reorganize its digital asset business, making XRP its primary crypto holding. As of April 30, 2026, the company held about 14 billion yen ($86 million) in cryptocurrencies. To improve efficiency, Gumi will gradually convert more of its holdings into XRP.

The company intends to actively manage its treasury using derivatives, including covered call options. This strategy involves holding XRP while selling call options at predetermined price levels, allowing the company to collect option premiums and generate recurring income.
