K-Pop Media Company K Wave Announces Bitcoin Strategy, Shares Soar 130%
Odaily News K Wave Media (KWM), a Nasdaq-listed K-pop media company, announced that it will adopt a Bitcoin acquisition strategy and plans to sell up to $500 million of common stock for the purchase of BTC, mergers and acquisitions and other company operations. After the news was released, KWM's stock price rose by more than 132% that day. K Wave said that under certain restrictions, most of the proceeds from the sale of shares will be used to "purchase, long-term holding and yield optimization" Bitcoin. The company said that it is one of the first listed media companies to incorporate Bitcoin into its core financial operations. The strategy was inspired in part by Bitcoin reserve pioneers such as Japanese listed companies Metaplanet and MicroStrategy (Michael Saylor). K Wave executives said that they believe that the model that combines public market financing and focuses on Bitcoin strategy will be welcomed by investors in Asia and around the world. K Wave Media was founded in 2023 and is headquartered in the Cayman Islands. It mainly engages in K-pop content production and peripheral product development. Interim co-CEO Ted Kim said: "By incorporating BTC into our core strategy, we strengthen our commitment to decentralization, flexibility and future value creation." According to The Block data, at least 20 companies around the world have included Bitcoin in their balance sheets, with a total holding of no less than US$5 million.

Semler Scientific purchased another 185 bitcoins, bringing its annual holdings to 4,449 bitcoins, with a total value of approximately $473 million
Odaily News On June 5, US medical technology company Semler Scientific announced that it had increased its holdings of Bitcoin again. From May 23 to June 3, it spent $20 million to purchase 185 BTC, with an average purchase price of $107,974 per BTC, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 4,449, with a current total value of approximately $473 million. According to documents submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Semler has invested a total of $410 million since launching its Bitcoin reserve strategy in May 2024, and its current book yield has reached 26.7%. The company has continued to purchase Bitcoin in the past year, including $10 million between February and April this year and an additional $50 million in May. Although the Bitcoin strategy has been gradually advancing, its market response has been mediocre. According to Google Finance data, as of June 4, 2025, Semler's stock price has fallen 37% this year, and has only risen by about 16% since the announcement of its Bitcoin strategic transformation on May 29, 2024. According to data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET, there are currently about 3.4 million BTC held as reserves by various institutions, with ETFs and listed companies holding the most, followed by government agencies. Overall, the stock prices of companies that adopt BTC reserve strategies in 2025 vary. For example, Strategy's stock price rose 33% during the year, and Japan's Metaplanet's stock price rose 265%. Bitcoin's price fluctuated significantly in 2025. Although it rose 11.8% during the year and hit a record high of $112,000, it also fell below $77,000, dragged down by the trade war and macroeconomic uncertainty.
