Ripple Launches Bold Mission: $1 Billion Campaign to Acquire More XRP and Buy GTreasury

Crypto giant Ripple Labs is entering a new phase of expansion. The company has launched an ambitious plan to raise $1 billion through a SPAC deal to increase its holdings of XRP tokens and strengthen its market position. At the same time, Ripple has announced the acquisition of fintech firm GTreasury for $1 billion, expanding its reach into corporate crypto services.

A New “Digital Asset Treasury” Built on XRP

According to Bloomberg, Ripple is creating what it calls a Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) — a crypto reserve fund backed primarily by XRP. The goal is to establish a strategic pool of digital assets that would give Ripple more independence and flexibility in managing liquidity and investments. The funds will come from a SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) merger — a route that allows Ripple to raise capital quickly without a traditional IPO.

The plan is still under discussion, with key details — including Ripple’s own contribution and the structure of the fundraising — yet to be finalized. However, the goal is clear: to expand XRP reserves while the broader market remains weak, positioning Ripple for the next stage of recovery.

Ripple Acquires GTreasury for $1 Billion

Simultaneously, Ripple announced the purchase of GTreasury, a U.S.-based firm that develops financial management tools for corporations. The platform allows treasurers to manage digital assets, stablecoins, and tokenized deposits within a secure infrastructure. According to Ripple, the acquisition will enable closer integration between traditional finance and blockchain technology: “We aim to provide companies with an infrastructure that connects fiat finance with the digital asset world,” a Ripple spokesperson said.

Markets in Turmoil, Ripple Buys the Dip

The move comes amid ongoing turbulence in the crypto sector, following a massive market sell-off triggered by U.S.–China trade tensions. Bitcoin and altcoins have dropped sharply, but Ripple is moving in the opposite direction — using the downturn to strengthen its position. If successful, this will become the largest corporate crypto treasury ever focused on XRP.

Ripple already holds 4.74 billion XRP, worth about $11 billion, and has another 35.9 billion XRP locked in monthly escrow releases.

XRP Outperforms Most Altcoins in 2025

Despite market volatility, XRP is up 13% so far in 2025, while Bitcoin has gained 16%. This makes XRP one of the few altcoins showing consistent strength amid global uncertainty.

Corporate Crypto Treasuries Slow Down — Ripple Goes Against the Trend

More than 300 publicly traded companies now hold cryptocurrencies through corporate treasury programs, mostly focused on Bitcoin. Yet, purchases have sharply declined — from 66,000 BTC in June to just 14,800 BTC in August. Ripple, however, is going in the opposite direction, aiming to position XRP as a strategic reserve asset for the corporate world.

One of the few other companies making a similar move is VivoPower International, which invested $121 million in XRP earlier this year.

New Strategies: Creative but Risky

While Ripple pursues a conservative accumulation strategy, other crypto firms are experimenting with Bitcoin-backed loans, convertible token deals, and structured crypto yields. These methods offer flexibility and faster access to capital but carry significant risk. “Many fund managers are walking a tightrope — stacking risky assets on top of even riskier structures,” said one market analyst. Ripple, in contrast, is taking a long-term, stability-focused approach, aiming to build a sustainable ecosystem centered on XRP.

Ripple Is Building Its Own Crypto Economy

While many crypto companies are downsizing or retreating, Ripple is doing the opposite — buying, acquiring, and expanding.

Its billion-dollar treasury strategy could be risky, but if the market rebounds, Ripple may emerge as the dominant player in corporate blockchain adoption.
