- Bitplanet launches regulated Bitcoin purchase program with 93 BTC buy.
- Shift positions Bitplanet as Korea’s first public Bitcoin treasury.
- Financial backing includes $40 million from global investors.
Bitplanet, a South Korean publicly listed firm, purchased 92.67 Bitcoin on October 26, demonstrating its transition to a significant Bitcoin treasury company.
As Korea’s premier public company making compliant Bitcoin acquisitions, Bitplanet’s strategy may catalyze increased institutional interest in regional digital asset markets.
Bitplanet, a public company in South Korea, has initiated a compliant Bitcoin purchase program. The company bought approximately 93 BTC as the first step towards building a 10,000 BTC treasury. This move sets a precedent for regulated corporate acquisitions of digital assets in Korea.
The purchase was executed through a regulated domestic exchange under the supervision of the Korea Financial Services Commission. Leaders such as Co-CEO Paul Lee stated it is the first purchase conducted entirely through compliant infrastructure, emphasizing the strategic backing by Metaplanet.
The acquisition aims to cement Bitplanet’s role in digital asset infrastructure, igniting positive sentiment in crypto markets. Experts note it could influence Ethereum and altcoin value indirectly as it sparks interest among institutional investors.
This activity aligns with Bitplanet’s recent rebranding and significant funding, indicating a broader strategic shift. New capital of $40 million will support ongoing Bitcoin accumulations, underscoring the expanding regulatory landscape in South Korea. Bitplanet is actively engaged in daily Bitcoin purchases targeting 10,000 BTC treasury.
Bitplanet’s actions could drive regulatory clarity in Asia, encouraging other firms to adopt compliant crypto strategies. This move aligns with historical precedents set by companies like MicroStrategy, indicating wider institutional acceptance and integration of digital assets.
The acquisition also paves the way for South Korea’s upcoming Digital Asset Basic Act in 2027. Future opportunities may arise as the law defines new corporate guidelines for token holdings, potentially advancing digital currencies into mainstream business operations.
This transaction marks the first Bitcoin purchase by a publicly listed company in Korea executed entirely through regulated and compliant infrastructure. — Paul Lee, Co-CEO, Bitplanet
