Brave Group Inc. announced on May 19, 2026, that it has begun discussions and considerations toward realizing a strategic alliance with SBI Holdings, Inc. The agreement includes a view to future capital participation by the SBI Group in Brave Group, and one of its objectives is to stabilize the company’s capital structure.
Brave Group is a company that develops IP both domestically and internationally in three areas: IP Production, IP Platform, and IP Solution, with a focus on the VTuber business. Aiming to create next-generation entertainment through the fusion of IP and technology, this partnership discussion is intended to further accelerate its global expansion.
Through its subsidiary SBI NeoMedia Holdings, SBI Holdings is expanding its neomedia ecosystem on a global scale by forming strategic partnerships with Korean IP production companies and bringing under its umbrella groups that include more than 20 domestic entertainment companies.
The two companies plan to conduct discussions and deliberations in three areas. In the VTuber and esports fields, a specialized subcommittee will be established to continue discussions. The aim is also to create synergies by combining SBI’s neo-media ecosystem with Brave group’s existing businesses. Furthermore, they will work on commercializing and developing assets from the neo-media ecosystem, leveraging Brave group’s business development capabilities, to achieve growth on a scale and at a speed that would be difficult for either company to achieve alone.
