Holdings over time
Cumulative bitcoin held after each disclosed event. The line steps rather than slopes because treasury positions change on purchase dates, not continuously.
We have one dated figure for NEXON so far, shown in the table below, and the table says where it came from. A chart needs at least two dated points, and we would rather show nothing than draw a trend through a single figure. This fills in as the company publishes, or as we backfill its earlier announcements.

About NEXON
NEXON is one of Japan's largest game publishers, behind MapleStory and Dungeon and Fighter. In April 2021 it announced it had bought 1,717 bitcoin for about $100 million, roughly 2 percent of the cash on its balance sheet at the time, describing the purchase as a way to maintain purchasing power against long term currency debasement rather than as a strategy shift.
That is the whole story, and its plainness is the point. NEXON never launched an accumulation programme, never raised money to buy more, and never rebranded around the position. The company has continued publishing games, and the coins have simply sat there through the cycle that followed.
It was an early and unusual move for a Japanese listed company: NEXON bought before Metaplanet existed as a treasury company and before corporate bitcoin holdings were common outside the United States.
