K Wave Media, Inc. (Nasdaq: KWM) (“K Wave” or the “Company”), the first Korean media alliance listed on Nasdaq, announced today that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with Bitcoin Strategic Reserve KWM LLC, providing for the sale by the Company of up to $500 million of ordinary shares.

Proceeds from the facility will be used to support the Company’s Bitcoin-centric digital asset treasury strategy as well as for working capital and M&A activities, further expanding its content and K-POP related businesses. Under this initiative, K Wave will, subject to certain limitations, allocate a significant portion of the proceeds received from the sale of any shares under the facility to the purchasing, long-term holding, and yield optimization of Bitcoin (BTC) — positioning itself among the first publicly traded media companies to integrate BTC directly into its core treasury operations. In addition, the Company plans to operate Bitcoin Lightning Network nodes and invest in Bitcoin-native infrastructure to enhance decentralization and facilitate on-chain transaction rewards.
