Two Major Companies Announce They Are Buying XRP And It’s No Small Number

XRP holders should feel good about this.

As many companies add Bitcoin to their portfolios, two companies are taking a different route.

VivoPower and Webus have announced they are adding XRP to their portfolio.

The two companies aren’t adding dust either!

Instead, combined, the companies are planning to buy over $420 million worth of XRP in the coming months.

The Defiant broke the story:

As companies like GameStop and Trump Media gear up to add Bitcoin to their balance sheets, international companies VivoPower and Webus International are moving to acquire Ripple’s XRP.

Both companies announced their intentions this week, with VivoPower planning to buy $121 million of XRP, and Webus International looking to acquire up to $300 million.

Webus is an AI-powered chauffeur services company based in China, and VivoPower is a sustainable energy solutions company based in the United Kingdom. However, the capital raise is being led by Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki bin Talal Al Saud, a member of the Saudi royal family.

Both companies are utilizing XRP as part of their digital asset strategies, but each has a slightly different focus.

Webus cites its XRP reserve as a means of supporting global payments solutions through traditional finance use cases, such as cash reserves, lending, shareholder guarantees, and third-party-backed credit facilities.

Meanwhile, VivoPower is utilizing XRP as part of its digital treasury strategy, aiming to support DeFi infrastructure and real-world asset (RWA) applications.

Both are contributing to the growing trend of publicly traded companies acquiring cryptocurrency, with Trump Media recently announcing its intent to purchase $2.5 billion of BTC, and SharpLink Gaming stepping up to purchase $425 million of ETH.

BREAKING: Saudi Prince Drops $100M on XRP—First Public Company Bets Big!

VivoPower (NASDAQ: VVPR) just raised $121M to launch a bold XRP-focused treasury strategy — and $100M of that came straight from Saudi Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Saud.

This isn’t just another crypto investment — it’s the first public company to center its treasury around XRP, signaling a major shift in institutional sentiment.

What they’re doing:
•Allocating capital to buy and hold XRP
•Building out infrastructure on the XRP Ledger (XRPL)
•Spinning off legacy divisions to double down on crypto and DeFi
•Appointing Ripple veteran Adam Traidman as advisory chairman

Why it matters:
•XRP just got a royal-level endorsement
•Proves XRP’s growing DeFi and treasury use case
•Could spark a wave of corporate XRP adoption — just like MicroStrategy with Bitcoin

The XRP narrative just changed. Institutions are watching.
