South Korea’s Bitplanet Inc. has made a significant move by acquiring 93 Bitcoin. Further emphasizing their commitment, the company has initiated a program of daily Bitcoin purchases. This strategic move positions Bitplanet as a frontrunner in the Korean public market’s adoption of Bitcoin for its corporate financial reserves. The Seoul-based organization stated that the entire transaction was carried out using fully regulated and compliant channels.
According to Paul Lee, Co-CEO of Bitplanet, “This acquisition signifies a historic milestone: the very first Bitcoin purchase by a publicly listed firm in South Korea, executed through a completely regulated and compliant framework.”
“Given the swift advancements in Asia’s digital asset environment, Bitplanet aims to establish a new standard for transparent, institutionally-sound adoption of Bitcoin within the corporate sphere.”
The company has characterized the new program as a structured, long-term investment approach, rather than just a one-time transaction. Company leadership stated that they will be consistently acquiring Bitcoin daily to mitigate potential risks associated with market timing and to formally integrate Bitcoin as a key strategic asset within their treasury holdings.
Targeting 10,000 BTC, Bolstered by $40 Million in Capital
Bitplanet’s long-term vision includes accumulating a treasury of 10,000 Bitcoin. To support this ambitious objective, the company successfully raised $40 million in the previous month. These funds are specifically allocated for ongoing Bitcoin accumulation and for strengthening the company’s balance sheet flexibility as the Bitcoin market evolves.
Bitplanet is supported by a strong consortium of investors with expertise in digital assets and traditional finance, including Simon Gerovich from Metaplanet, AsiaStrategy, Sora Ventures, UTXO Management, KCGI, Kingsway Capital, and ParaFi Capital. This diverse investor base reinforces Bitplanet’s objective to become a key regional leader in institutional Bitcoin treasury management.
Formerly known as SGA Inc., Bitplanet identifies itself as the first KOSDAQ-listed institutional Bitcoin treasury company in Korea.
Built upon a foundation of IT services, the company highlights its commitment to compliance, risk management, and innovative financial engineering as the core pillars of its strategy. These pillars are designed to facilitate transparent and regulated Bitcoin adoption for corporations.
