Gumi Inc., a Tokyo-based mobile game studio, has announced plans to purchase ¥1 billion (approximately $6.58 million) in Bitcoin. This investment is part of a broader strategy to expand its blockchain operations and enhance its staking initiatives. The company intends to acquire the Bitcoin between February and May 2025, aiming to leverage the asset for potential staking rewards through Babylon, a Bitcoin staking platform. Following this announcement, Gumi's market capitalization increased significantly, rising from $146 million to $204 million within two trading days. Gumi's move reflects a growing trend among Japanese companies adopting Bitcoin as a strategic asset, with other firms also exploring similar treasury strategies.
