Tokyo-listed mobile game developer Gumi Inc. is set to acquire $6.58 million in Bitcoin (BTC) between February and May 2025 as part of its strategy to enhance its blockchain and Web3 operations. The company's decision comes at a time when Bitcoin's price has surged nearly 100% over the past year, approaching $96,000. Gumi also recently became the first publicly listed Japanese firm to participate as a validator in the Babylon staking protocol. This initiative aims to generate returns from Bitcoin appreciation and staking rewards. Gumi's stock rose by 3.65% following the announcement. The move aligns with a growing trend among companies diversifying their portfolios with Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation, following in the footsteps of other major corporate players in the crypto space.
