Japanese gaming giant Gumi Inc. has made a major move by purchasing $6.58 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC). This investment, planned between February and May 2025, aligns with Gumi's strategy to expand into blockchain and Web3, signaling a commitment to the future of digital assets.
Bitcoin's value has surged to around $96,000 per unit, prompting more companies to invest. Gumi plans to leverage Bitcoin not only for its appreciation in value but also by staking it on the Babylon protocol, which will generate side income while supporting decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain growth.
Gumi joins a wave of companies investing in Bitcoin as a store of value, including MicroStrategy and Metaplanet. Major firms across industries, from tech to energy and healthcare, are using Bitcoin to strengthen their financial foundation and diversify investments.
After announcing its Bitcoin acquisition, Gumi’s stock price saw a 3.65% increase, reflecting investor confidence in its Web3 strategy. As Bitcoin plays a central role in Gumi’s future growth, the company is well-positioned for long-term success in the evolving digital asset space.
