(TSE: 9449) operates as a holding company overseeing a diverse portfolio of internet services worldwide, with core segments encompassing Internet Infrastructure; Online Advertising and Media; Internet Finance, including securities, FX, and banking; and Cryptoasset-related activities such as mining and exchange. The company provides domain registration and registry services; cloud and rental server hosting; payment processing; e-commerce platforms and support; reservation management; internet service provider access; SSL encryption and brand security; web development and customer attraction tools; membership management; electronic contracts; ad tech platforms like ReeMo for contextual targeting; SEO and affiliate marketing; media services; and emerging offerings in generative AI, robotics implementation, healthcare DX, real estate DX, and freelance support, primarily targeting businesses under the global Z.com brand. Founded in 1991 and headquartered at Cerulean Tower in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan, it generates the majority of revenue domestically while expanding internationally through approximately 7,585 group employees as of September 2025. In a major strategic reorganization announced June 25, 2024, and effective January 1, 2025, GMO Internet Group transferred its Internet Infrastructure (domain, cloud hosting, access) and Internet Advertising/Media businesses via absorption-type company split to consolidated subsidiary GMO AD Partners Inc. (TSE: 4784), fully transitioning to a pure holding company structure to enhance AI and robotics initiatives, streamline synergies, and bolster group management for sustainable growth; recent activities also include treasury share acquisitions up to JPY 10.0 billion, dividend payments, and partnerships such as with Meiji University Rugby Football Club.
