South Korea's K Wave Media Makes Headway With Bitcoin Treasury Plan
In a press release, the media giant announced that it is entering into a convertible note agreement with Anson Funds, under which Anson will provide up to $500 million in financing. K Wave plans to allocate a minimum of 80% of the net proceeds toward Bitcoin purchase.

Back then, the company remarked that it was looking to be the "Metaplanet of Korea." It noted how the Japanese company became the number one performing stock globally in 2024 and a top performer in 2025 after adopting a Bitcoin strategy.

Indeed, Metaplanet has achieved massive success since it became a Bitcoin treasury company. CoinGape reported that the Japanese company beat S&P 500 Q2 revenue estimates and also saw its BTC income soar 42%.

K Wave Media believes that a similar Bitcoin model, which combines public market access with a focused Bitcoin initiative, will resonate with investors across Asia and the globe.

With the initiative underway, the company announced the initial acquisition of 88 BTC. It intends to scale its Bitcoin holdings "aggressively and transparently," while aligning itself with the monetary principle of BTC and the growing global movement of on-chain corporate reserves.
