NEW YORK and SEOUL, South Korea, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- K Wave Media (Nasdaq: KWM), a Bitcoin treasury and Korean cultural innovation company, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Galaxy Digital (Nasdaq: GLXY), one of the world's leading digital asset investment firms.
Galaxy will serve as an Asset Manager and Strategic Advisor to KWM, and will make an investment in KWM, as KWM executes its Bitcoin treasury strategy and expands access to institutional capital.
Galaxy’s endorsement and investment underscore the strength of KWM’s model — combining Korea’s global cultural influence with a long-term commitment to Bitcoin as the foundation of a modern corporate treasury.
“Galaxy shares our belief that Bitcoin is not just a reserve asset, but a generational monetary shift,” said Ted Kim, CEO of K Wave Media. “Their support reflects growing global confidence in our strategy and in Korea’s role as a key market for digital transformation.”
KWM has already taken bold steps toward becoming a Bitcoin-forward public company and now has access to close to $1 billion in institutional capital to support its strategic initiatives.
KWM recently acquired 88 Bitcoin — a symbol of prosperity in Asian markets — and is aggressively scaling its reserves, signaling one of the boldest BTC strategies among public companies globally.
Galaxy will provide guidance on:
- Structuring and executing Bitcoin treasury purchases
- Risk management and custody frameworks
- Long-term alignment with institutional-grade financial infrastructure
“Corporate adoption of Bitcoin is evolving from theory to action, and K Wave Media is at the forefront of that shift. Their commitment to a Bitcoin-native treasury model reflects a growing movement among forward-looking public companies,” said Steve Kurz, Global Head of Asset Management at Galaxy. “Galaxy is excited to support KWM with institutional-grade asset management and strategic guidance as they build a model for what a digitally aligned, culturally connected public company can look like in the Bitcoin era.”
KWM’s model blends Korean media influence, digital-native financial infrastructure, and Web3-era innovation — creating a public company blueprint built for the Bitcoin age.
With its cross-border strategy, KWM targets Korean retail, U.S. institutions, and global crypto markets — creating a powerful multi-market flywheel.
The company is actively exploring additional partnerships and acquisitions to expand its treasury position and cultural reach.
This partnership and investment represent a new phase in KWM’s evolution — one that redefines what it means to be a public company in the era of Bitcoin and borderless capital.
