Aurora Mobile, a Chinese gaming company with a market rooted in the world’s largest gaming industry (over 500 million players, 25% of global revenue per Wikipedia 2025), diversifies its $200 million cash reserves by allocating 20% to Bitcoin, signaling a strategic pivot amid China’s strict crypto regulations.
This move contrasts with the 2019 gaming revenue decline due to government restrictions (Wikipedia), suggesting Aurora bets on Bitcoin’s decentralized nature as a hedge against local economic controls, aligning with its tech innovation focus (Bloomberg Markets).
Recent data from eToro (June 23, 2025) shows Bitcoin’s volatility dropping below stocks during geopolitical tensions, supporting Aurora’s decision with evidence of BTC’s stabilizing potential, challenging the narrative of cryptocurrencies as purely speculative assets.
