Companies in South Korea have been forced to delay plans to hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets after the government failed to publish guidelines this week, according to Sisa Journal.
Corporate treasuries in South Korea had anticipated authorisation by year-end to allocate funds into digital assets. However, the lack of formal guidance from regulators is leaving firms in limbo. Exchanges such as Upbit and Bithumb report they are ready with infrastructure and corporate clients, but the pause prevents them from supporting corporate crypto strategies. The delay also risks leaving South Korea behind the US and Japan in attracting crypto-treasury investment.
Stakeholders now await a statement from the Financial Services Commission clarifying the timing and scope of corporate crypto rules. Market actors will be watching to see if Korea can restore alignment between regulatory readiness and business appetite for digital-asset treasury holdings.
