With this move, Reliance expands its treasury beyond Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Cardano (ADA), aligning itself with a growing list of public companies viewing digital assets as more than speculative investments. “XRP offers speed, efficiency, and proven value in global payments,” said Chairman and CEO Ezra Beyman.
The move marks another measured step in Reliance’s broader blockchain strategy, which now spans both treasury allocation and retail‑facing platforms like RELI Exchange and 5MinuteInsure.com. The company emphasizes regulatory alignment and secure custody, leaning on its Crypto Advisory Board, an increasingly standard feature among firms seeking digital asset credibility without drawing regulatory fire.
Crypto treasury vision across giants
The timing of RELI’s XRP acquisition signals a broader strategic alignment within the Reliance Group toward integrating digital assets at the corporate level. Rather than approaching crypto as a speculative play, the group is treating tokenized assets like XRP as functional components of treasury and infrastructure.
Japanese gaming and blockchain firm, Gumi, pursued a similar strategy. The company recently approved a ¥2.5 billion (~$17 million) XRP purchase to anchor its own digital asset treasury. Both moves suggest a growing trend among large corporations to view XRP not merely as a payment tool, but as a foundation for scalable, enterprise‑grade blockchain strategies.
By incorporating XRP into their treasuries, both Reliance and Gumi highlight a shift toward stable, utility‑driven digital assets—signaling that blockchain integration at the corporate level is moving beyond experimentation and into long‑term financial planning.
