K Wave Media sells all 88 BTC for $64.2 million, pauses bitcoin treasury plan

AI Market Summary
K Wave Media sold its entire 88 BTC position for $64.2M, using proceeds to repay $6M in notes and pausing its sub-one-year Bitcoin treasury plan to fund AI infrastructure. The liquidation, driven by debt-default risk and Nasdaq listing compliance pressure, weakens the corporate-BTC accumulation narrative and highlights balance-sheet fragility among smaller treasury adopters, potentially increasing skepticism toward leveraged or compliance-constrained corporate holders.

K Wave Media (NASDAQ: KWM) said it sold all 88 bitcoin it held on May 6 for aggregate proceeds of $64.2 million. The company used part of the proceeds to repay $6 million of outstanding notes and said it would redirect capital toward AI infrastructure, ending a bitcoin treasury effort that lasted less than a year. K Wave said it has not abandoned its longer-term treasury strategy but has determined to halt it amid debt pressure tied to Anson Funds notes and a Nasdaq compliance risk tied to its publicly held share value.
