Bitcoin News Today: Digital Gold Rush: Bitplanet Fortifies Bitcoin Treasury Amid Regulatory Shifts

South Korean publicly listed Bitcoin treasury company Bitplanet has launched a daily Bitcoin accumulation strategy, purchasing 93 BTC last week as part of a broader effort to build a 10,000 BTC reserve, according to Coinotag. The move, announced alongside a rebranding at Bitcoin Asia 2025, underscores growing corporate interest in digital assets amid a regulatory environment tightening around stablecoin interest payments.

Bitplanet's initiative is funded by a $40 million allocation, with purchases executed through a compliance infrastructure monitored by the Financial Services Commission (FSC). Co-CEO Paul Lee emphasized the company's proactive governance upgrades, including enhanced investment processes and full transaction disclosures via the FSC's monitoring platform. This approach aims to align with the Digital Asset Basic Act, set to take effect by 2027, which will standardize corporate crypto holdings and custody practices, as noted in the Coinotag report.

The purchase coincides with a bullish market environment for Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency surged 6.7% to $115,200 in the week following the acquisition, driven by softer U.S. inflation data and over $600 million in ETF inflows. Bitplanet's strategy also benefits from South Korea's regulatory shift, which will prohibit stablecoin yield generation by year-end under new crypto laws, per Crypto.news. These rules, mirroring the U.S. GENIUS Act, seek to prevent destabilizing capital outflows from traditional banking systems while fostering innovation in digital payments and cross-border transactions, as the Crypto.news coverage explains.

Bitplanet's foray into Bitcoin treasuries reflects a broader trend among Asian firms seeking to diversify balance sheets. As a KOSDAQ-listed entity with trailing revenue of $55 million, the company is transitioning from legacy IT services to a crypto-focused model, supported by institutional investors like Sora Ventures. The 93 BTC purchase marks the first public acquisition by a South Korean firm under such a structured program, setting a precedent for corporate adoption in a market still navigating regulatory uncertainties, according to Coinotag.

With Bitcoin testing key support levels near $108,000 and CME futures highlighting unfilled gaps at $92,000 and $116,000, Bitplanet's accumulation efforts could gain further momentum if macroeconomic volatility subsides. Analysts like VALR's Farzam Ehsani note that capital rotations from gold—projected to hit $4,500 in early 2026—could further bolster Bitcoin's case as a safe-haven asset, according to Yahoo Finance.
