  • This initiative marks a shift, as institutional interest in bitcoin has been historically concentrated in the U.S. and Europe.

  • Sora Ventures has a history of investments in Asian bitcoin pioneers, including Metaplanet and acquisitions in Hong Kong and Thailand.

Sora Ventures Unveils Groundbreaking Bitcoin Treasury Initiative

Investment firm Sora Ventures has announced the launch of what it claims is Asia's first dedicated bitcoin treasury fund, with ambitious plans to purchase $1 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) over the next six months. This significant move was revealed during Taipei Blockchain Week, where the firm also disclosed that it has secured $200 million in initial commitments from investors across the region.

The fund is designed to serve as a central pool of capital aimed at strengthening Asia's network of bitcoin treasury firms. Many companies in Asia already manage their own bitcoin treasuries, with Tokyo-based Metaplanet (3350) holding the largest at 20,000 BTC. Luke Liu, a partner at Sora Ventures, emphasized the uniqueness of this commitment, stating, "This is the first time Asia has seen a commitment of this magnitude toward building a network of bitcoin treasury firms."

Jason Fang, the founder of Sora Ventures, highlighted that institutional interest has traditionally been concentrated in the U.S. and Europe, but this new fund signals Asia's emergence as a serious player in the global bitcoin market. Sora Ventures has a track record of supporting regional pioneers, including backing Metaplanet's 1 billion yen bitcoin allocation in 2024 and acquiring companies like Hong Kong's Moon Inc. and Thailand's DV8 in 2025, as well as partnering with South Korea's BitPlanet.

This development is part of a broader trend of bitcoin treasury accumulation by publicly traded companies, which collectively control over 1 million BTC, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries. The majority of these holdings are managed by U.S.-based MicroStrategy (MSTR), which holds 636,505 BTC.
