K-pop giant plots $500M pivot that no one saw coming
K-pop giant plots $500M pivot that no one saw coming originally appeared on TheStreet. K Wave Media Ltd. (Nasdaq: KWM), a South Korean entertainment company, recently announced its plan to build a Bitcoin treasury. On June 4, the K-pop company announced that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with Bitcoin Strategic Reserve KWM LLC to sell up to $500 million of ordinary shares. The company, well-known for K-pop merchandising and K-entertainment investments, said it hopes to become the 'Metaplanet of Korea,' a Japanese Bitcoin treasury company that itself deployed the strategy of Michael Saylor's Strategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), the largest public corporate BTC holder, to add Bitcoin to its balance sheet. K Wave Media said it will use the proceeds from the sale of these shares to support a "Bitcoin-centric digital asset treasury strategy." It did not specify which other cryptocurrencies it could acquire in the future to add to its account book. The K-Pop giant also said it plans to operate Bitcoin Lightning Network nodes and invest in infrastructure. The Bitcoin Lightning Network is a layer-2 payment protocol built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain that facilitates fast, low-cost, and scalable transactions. The company also plans to invest in Bitcoin-native infrastructure to enhance decentralization so that there is no centralized control over payments. The company's stock, which debuted on Nasdaq on May 14, jumped more than 300% following the announcement on June 4 and reached its record high price of $6.17 on the day.

Amboss Launches Rails: Empowering Bitcoin Yield and Lightning Network Growth
NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Amboss, a leader in AI-driven solutions for the Bitcoin Lightning Network, today unveiled Rails, a self-custodial Bitcoin service designed to enhance asset utility. Developed for companies, custodians, and high net worth individuals, Rails enables participants to put their Bitcoin to work while contributing to the performance and scalability of the Lightning Network. This launch marks a significant step forward in creating decentralized, reliable payment infrastructure for the Bitcoin ecosystem. Rails introduces a secure, innovative way for participants—termed Liquidity Providers (LPs)—to maintain full custody of their Bitcoin while generating returns through payment routing and liquidity leases. By integrating Amboss' advanced AI technology, Rails enhances the Lightning Network, enabling faster, more dependable transactions and supporting larger payment volumes. 'Rails is a transformative force for the Lightning Network,' said Jesse Shrader, CEO and Co-Founder of Amboss. 'It's not just about yield—it's about enabling businesses to strengthen the network while earning on their Bitcoin. This is a critical step in Bitcoin's evolution as a global medium of exchange.' Launch Partners and Network Impact Amboss has partnered with leading Bitcoin industry players, including CoinCorner, LQwD, and Flux (a joint venture between Axiom and CoinCorner), to bring Rails to market. CoinCorner, a pioneer in Lightning Network adoption, has integrated it into its exchange operations and everyday payment systems across the Isle of Man. LQwD, a key player in Bitcoin infrastructure, and Flux, combining Axiom's and CoinCorner's expertise, share a mission to expand the Lightning Network's role in global payments. Their involvement underscores the industry's confidence in Rails' potential to drive Bitcoin's scalability. 'Rails offers a practical way for businesses like ours to participate in the Lightning Network's growth,' said David Boylan, CFO of CoinCorner. 'We've been using the Lightning Network for years, and Rails provides a structured approach to engaging with its economy, particularly through liquidity leasing and payment routing. This aligns with our goal of making Bitcoin more accessible and practical for everyday use.' The Critical Role of Liquidity Liquidity is the backbone of the Lightning Network, ensuring smooth and efficient transaction routing across its nodes and channels. Rails empowers Liquidity Providers to contribute to this vital resource, enhancing the network's capacity to support high-value, reliable payments. By addressing liquidity demands, Rails not only creates yield opportunities for participants but also fortifies the infrastructure that makes Bitcoin a viable medium of exchange for businesses worldwide. How Rails Works Rails enables participants—known as Liquidity Providers (LPs)—to maintain full custody of their Bitcoin while accessing the Lightning Network economy. Yield opportunities arise from activities like liquidity leasing and payment routing, though returns are not guaranteed. The service includes: Rails LP: For high net worth individuals, companies with Bitcoin treasuries, and custodians, requiring a minimum of 1 Bitcoin committed for at least one year. Liquidity Subscriptions: For businesses receiving Bitcoin payments, offering cost-effective solutions with fees as low as 0.5%.
