Gumi invests 1 billion yen in Bitcoin to strengthen its Web3 presence, enhance blockchain services, and boost financial growth.

Gumi Inc., a Japanese mobile game studio, has decided to invest in Bitcoin. This was included in a news release on February 10. It intends to purchase 1 billion yen worth of Bitcoin. This spending will further increase its investment in the cryptocurrency market. This resolution was made in a board of directors meeting. In this way, the firm is looking to improve its financial services, particularly in the area of business related to blockchains.

Gumi is one of the emerging players in the blockchain business. Its node operation business is advancing favorably. In the second quarter of the fiscal year, which will end in April 2025, the company became the first publicly listed company in Japan to act as a validator for “Babylon.” Moreover, this protocol allows Bitcoin, which has not been used, to be staked to secure other blockchain networks.

The company believes that investment in Bitcoin and staking via Babylon will be more revenue productive. Additionally, its income is expected from the increase in value of Bitcoin as well as from staking and validating rewards.

The company will provide details if the investment significantly impacts the company’s financial results.
