Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin’s Institutional Revolution Begins in Asia with Sora’s $1B Bet

Sora Ventures has launched Asia’s first $1 billion Bitcoin treasury fund, marking a significant shift in the region’s institutional approach to digital assets. The fund, unveiled during Taipei Blockchain Week, is backed by a $200 million initial capital commitment from institutional partners and investors across the region. The initiative aims to acquire $1 billion in Bitcoin within six months, creating a centralized pool of institutional capital to support and scale existing Bitcoin treasury firms across Asia [1].

This strategic move builds on the groundwork laid by individual corporate entities such as Japan’s Metaplanet, Hong Kong’s Moon Inc., Thailand’s DV8, and South Korea’s BitPlanet, which have already adopted Bitcoin as a treasury asset. Unlike these companies, which hold Bitcoin directly on their balance sheets, Sora Ventures’ new fund will serve as a pooled institutional vehicle, designed to reinforce regional efforts while expanding Bitcoin treasury adoption globally [2]. According to Luke Liu, a partner at Sora Ventures, this marks the first time in Asia that a capital commitment of this scale has been made to build a network of Bitcoin treasury firms [3].

Historically, large-scale Bitcoin treasury adoption has been concentrated in the U.S. market, with companies like MicroStrategy leading the way. Sora Ventures’ initiative signals Asia’s emerging role in the institutional Bitcoin investment landscape. Jason Fang, the firm’s founder and managing partner, emphasized that the region has seen fragmented efforts in Bitcoin treasury adoption compared to the U.S. and EU. The launch of the $1 billion fund represents the first time institutional capital in Asia has united at a local, regional, and global level to support this strategy [4].

Sora Ventures has previously made strategic investments in Bitcoin-focused companies, including Japan’s Metaplanet, which became the country’s first listed Bitcoin treasury firm in 2024. In 2025, the firm expanded its footprint by acquiring Moon Inc. in Hong Kong, DV8 in Thailand, and taking a controlling stake in South Korea’s BitPlanet. Each of these acquisitions aimed to replicate and scale Bitcoin-first treasury models across Asia, laying the foundation for the current $1 billion fund [5]. According to Sora Ventures, the new fund will not only accelerate corporate Bitcoin adoption in Asia but also create a replicable model for international expansion.

The fund’s structure reflects a growing institutional consensus on Bitcoin’s potential as a reserve asset. By pooling capital and aligning with early pioneers in Bitcoin treasury adoption, Sora Ventures aims to strengthen the asset’s role in global markets. The initiative is expected to attract additional institutional partners, further broadening the network of Bitcoin treasury companies operating in the region. This strategy aligns with the broader trend of institutional capital seeking long-term, low-correlation assets amid rising inflation and currency devaluation risks [6].

The launch of the Sora Ventures fund underscores the increasing institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a strategic asset. With the fund now in place, Asia is poised to play a more prominent role in shaping the future of corporate Bitcoin treasury strategies, following a model that has already demonstrated success in the U.S. The initiative also highlights the growing recognition of Bitcoin’s unique structural advantages—such as its fixed supply, verifiability, and global accessibility—as a foundation for institutional capital structures. As this trend continues, the institutional landscape in Asia may further align with the global trajectory of Bitcoin adoption [7].
