Bitcoin News Today: Asia Unites Institutional Might to Buy $1 Billion in Bitcoin

Sora Ventures, a Taipei-based investment firm, has launched what it describes as Asia’s first dedicated Bitcoin treasury fund, with an ambitious target to acquire $1 billion worth of Bitcoin within six months. The fund, announced during Taipei Blockchain Week, is supported by an initial $200 million in commitments from institutional partners across the region. This strategic initiative builds upon existing Bitcoin treasury models in Asia, including those of Japan’s Metaplanet, Hong Kong’s Moon Inc., Thailand’s DV8, and South Korea’s BitPlanet, and aims to unify and scale these efforts across a broader institutional landscape [1].

The fund is structured as a centralized pool of institutional capital, designed to support and strengthen the existing network of Bitcoin treasury firms while also facilitating the creation of new ones globally. Luke Liu, a partner at Sora Ventures, noted that the fund represents an unprecedented commitment in the region to developing a network of Bitcoin treasury initiatives. “This is the first time Asia has seen a commitment of this magnitude toward building a network of bitcoin treasury firms,” Liu stated. The initiative is intended to foster collaboration between regional and international treasuries, reinforcing Bitcoin’s role as a reserve asset in global markets [2].

Sora Ventures has previously invested in several of Asia’s pioneering Bitcoin treasury firms. In 2024, the firm supported Metaplanet in its allocation of ¥1 billion (approximately $6.56 million) to Bitcoin. In 2025, Sora expanded its influence further by acquiring Moon Inc. in Hong Kong and DV8 in Thailand, and by partnering with BitPlanet in South Korea. These moves are part of a broader strategy to replicate and scale Bitcoin-first treasury models across Asia. The firm’s founder and managing partner, Jason Fang, emphasized that Asia has long played a crucial role in blockchain innovation and now is becoming a significant hub for institutional Bitcoin investment [3].

According to BitcoinTreasuries data, Bitcoin treasury accumulation has become a notable trend in the current market cycle, with publicly traded companies controlling over 1 million BTC. Strategy (MSTR), based in Tysons Corner, Virginia, holds the largest portion of these holdings at 636,505 BTC. In Asia, Metaplanet, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, holds the most Bitcoin, with a current holding of 20,000 BTC, valued at approximately $2.2 billion [4].

The launch of Sora Ventures’ fund represents a significant milestone in institutional Bitcoin adoption in Asia. Historically, major institutional interest in Bitcoin treasuries has been concentrated in the U.S. and Europe. The new fund, however, signals a shift in the global landscape and positions Asia as a growing contender in the institutional Bitcoin investment space. Fang highlighted the broader implications of the initiative, stating that it marks the first time institutional capital has united from a local to a global scale, reinforcing Bitcoin’s emergence as a strategic asset class [1].
