Nature’s Miracle Holding Inc., a vertical farming technology company based in Ontario, California, announced on July 23, 2025, that it is launching a corporate treasury program that could see up to $20 million invested in the cryptocurrency XRP.
The move, disclosed by the company in a statement, positions Nature’s Miracle among the first publicly traded firms to hold XRP — currently the world’s third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization — as part of its core treasury strategy.
The company plans to use proceeds from an equity financing agreement with GHS Investments, enabled by a recently effective registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, to fund the initial purchases.
Part of Broader Strategy to Use Digital Assets
Nature’s Miracle said the treasury initiative would involve acquiring XRP tokens as long-term reserves, participating in staking to earn potential yields, and exploring opportunities within the Ripple ecosystem, which facilitates cross-border transactions.
James Li, CEO of Nature’s Miracle, linked the decision to broader regulatory developments, citing President Donald Trump’s signing of the GENIUS Act on July 18, 2025, which encourages institutional adoption of digital assets. “We see the huge potential of XRP as it improves the speed and reduces the cost of cross-border payments,” Li said in a statement, noting that established financial institutions including Banco Santander and American Express are already involved with XRP.
The company noted that additional acquisitions of XRP could come from future equity issuances, strategic placements, and structured financing instruments, depending on market conditions and capital needs.
Early Corporate Adoption of XRP
XRP, created by Ripple Labs, is often used by financial firms to facilitate international money transfers due to its transaction speed and relatively low fees. While large firms have begun to test or use blockchain technology, it remains uncommon for publicly traded companies to hold XRP directly on their balance sheets.
Nature’s Miracle, which specializes in indoor farming systems and related technologies, emphasized that its XRP holdings would complement its operational plans and working capital needs. The equity financing from GHS Investments provides the company flexibility to sell securities under the effective S-1 registration and redirect some proceeds toward its digital asset strategy.
The company did not specify a timeline for completing its XRP purchases but said it intends to proceed as funds become available from equity sales. Nature’s Miracle’s shares trade over the counter under the ticker NMHI. Further details about the treasury program or potential future cryptocurrency initiatives were not disclosed.
