Doubling Down On Bitcoin Strategy

Companies worldwide are betting on Bitcoin. The Japanese gaming developer, Gumi, announced on 10 February 2025, its intention of investing more than $6.5 million in Bitcoin  as a part of its corporate strategy. In terms of Japanese Yen, this is equivalent to an investment of 1 billion.

India’s Jetking recently added Bitcoin to its reserves very recently. And the move got Saylor’s attention, as he posted about it on X.

Meanwhile, a US-based company, Rumble, announced allocating $20 million of its cash reserve into Bitcoin.

KULR Technology, an energy storage company, fortified its balance sheet by purchasing 510 BTC. In another intriguing news, medical technology company Semler Scientific raised its stakes to 3,192 BTC after purchasing $88.5 million worth of assets last week.

Furthermore, AI education firm Genius Group has planned a $120 million investment in Bitcoin. There is also Thumzup Media, a social media marketing company, who has entered the crypto space by making its first significant investment, acquiring approximately $1 million in BTC.

Metaplanet Targets 10,000 Bitcoin In 2025

Metaplanet has set an ambitious target to expand its Bitcoin holdings more than five fold to 10,000 BTC in 2025. The move aligns with growing market optimism, as analysts predict Bitcoin could surpass $200,000 in a bull run expected this year.

CEO Simon Gerovich outlined the firm’s plans in a 5 January 2025 X post, stating that they aim to achieve this target using “the most accretive capital market tools” available.

Gerovich also emphasized the firm’s broader mission to advance Bitcoin adoption in Japan and globally, describing their efforts as “not just building a company but driving a movement.”

Gerovich suggested that a US decision to adopt Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, particularly under the crypto-friendly Trump administration, could spark a global shift. “Japan and other Asian countries would likely follow suit,” he remarked during Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin New Year’s Eve party in Florida.
