K Wave Media (Nasdaq: KWM) announced that certain key shareholders, including co-founders, contributed 6.24 million ordinary shares to treasury and lent an additional 1.55 million shares interest-free to treasury on Oct 16, 2025.
The combined 7.79 million shares are valued at approximately $25 million based on the Oct 15, 2025 market price, equal to about 13% of issued and outstanding shares and roughly 25% of the public float. The company said it will use the shares for the K-IP STO platform, BTC purchases, strategic M&A, debt reduction, and working capital, and expects EPS improvement, reduced overhang risk, and stabilization of the share price as part of ongoing financial restructuring following Galaxy Digital's Sept 2025 investment.
K Wave Media (Nasdaq: KWM) has announced plans to develop a pioneering entertainment tokenization platform, backed by a $1 million equity investment from Galaxy Digital (Nasdaq/TSX: GLXY).

The initiative has already secured MOUs from 37 leading Korean content producers and IP holders. The platform will accept Bitcoin payments and aims to connect Korean retail markets, U.S. institutional investors, and global crypto communities.

Rabbit Walk, founded in 2010, has produced over 1,400 commercials and brand films and brings prestigious clients including Samsung, LG, TCL, and Hisense.
The acquisition is projected to increase KWM's revenues by 25-30% over the next 12 months, adding VFX, AI-powered advertising, and 3D content capabilities to its portfolio. Rabbit Walk recorded $10.7 million revenue in 2024 with a 22% CAGR during 2020-2024, while KWM's 2024 revenue was $58 million.
