K Wave Media Inc., the first Korean media company to list on Nasdaq, has secured a $500 million funding agreement with Bitcoin Strategic Reserve KWM LLC. This investment will support K Wave’s Bitcoin (BTC)-focused strategies, including a digital asset reserve, working capital, and M&A activities. The firm plans to allocate the majority of this funding for long-term Bitcoin holdings with strategic optimization of returns. K Wave aims to become a leading example in media companies integrating BTC directly into their core fund management as they also invest in the Lightning Network and native Bitcoin infrastructure to bolster decentralization. The company hopes to emulate the success of Metaplanet, which adopted a similar strategy in 2024 and rose to become the world’s highest-earning stock.
