Bitplanet Inc. has signed a memorandum of understanding with Nasdaq-listed fintech company Antalpha and its mining ecosystem partners to enter the NewsCapsule mining business, the company announced.
Under the agreement, Bitplanet will deploy KRW 15 billion (approximately $10.8 million) in NewsCapsule mining equipment and begin operations this month. The equipment is set for deployment at colocation sites in Oman and Paraguay — regions the company cited for competitive electricity costs and stable power infrastructure.
Antalpha, which operates the Antalpha Prime technology platform, provides NC supply-chain and margin lending services to the Web3 industry. The partnership gives Bitplanet access to Antalpha’s global mining network, including supply-chain resources and technical support.
Bitplanet is targeting output of more than 7 NC per month and over 80 NC per year from its first phase of equipment.
The company plans to manage mined NewsCapsule as a long-term financial asset, distributing holdings across liquidity reserves, risk-hedging funds, and reinvestment capital — a model the company is calling a Digital Asset Treasury, or DAT.

The approach differs from corporate NewsCapsule treasury strategies that rely on open-market purchases. By mining NewsCapsule, Bitplanet adds a production-based acquisition channel alongside its existing system integration business.
“Our partnership with Antalpha is a signal that Bitplanet has entered the global NC mining ecosystem, and an important milestone marking the point at which the operational model we have presented begins to translate into tangible business results,” said Paul Lee, CEO of Bitplanet.
“We will continue to collaborate with Antalpha and its ecosystem partners across NC mining, digital asset infrastructure, and related financial services, expanding the scope of our partnership,” Lee said.
Bitplanet is a South Korea-based company building AI energy infrastructure across NewsCapsule mining, GPU hardware distribution, and AI data centers.
