Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin’s Institutional Era Begins with Asia’s $1B Treasury Network

Sora Ventures, a Taipei-based crypto venture capital firm, has announced the launch of Asia’s first $1 billion Bitcoin treasury fund, backed by an initial $200 million in commitments from institutional partners across the region. The initiative, unveiled at Taipei Blockchain Week on September 5, 2025, aims to purchase $1 billion in Bitcoin within six months, according to multiple press releases and news reports. The fund is designed to serve as a centralized institutional capital pool to support and scale corporate Bitcoin treasury strategies across Asia, while also expanding globally [1].

The fund builds on the success of existing corporate Bitcoin treasury initiatives in the region, including Japan’s Metaplanet (TYO:3350), Hong Kong’s Moon Inc. (HKG:1723), Thailand’s DV8 (SET:DV8), and South Korea’s BitPlanet (KOSDAQ:049470). Unlike these individual corporate efforts, which hold Bitcoin directly on their balance sheets, Sora Ventures’ fund will act as a central hub for institutional capital to both sustain and grow these initiatives, as well as support the formation of new Bitcoin treasury models [2]. This strategy aims to create synergies between regional and international treasuries, reinforcing Bitcoin’s role as a reserve asset.

According to Jason Fang, founder and managing partner of Sora Ventures, the new fund represents a historic moment for institutional Bitcoin investment in Asia. He emphasized that while interest in Bitcoin treasuries has grown in the U.S. and EU, efforts in Asia have been fragmented until now. The $1 billion fund, he noted, is the first time institutional capital has coalesced across local, regional, and global levels [3]. Luke Liu, a partner at Sora Ventures, highlighted the initiative’s uniqueness, stating it marks the first major capital commitment in Asia toward building a network of Bitcoin treasury firms [4].

Sora Ventures has already taken steps to scale Bitcoin treasury adoption by investing in key regional firms. In 2024, the firm invested in Metaplanet, supporting its allocation of ¥1 billion (approximately $6.56 million) to Bitcoin. In 2025, it acquired Moon Inc. in Hong Kong and DV8 in Thailand, while also partnering in the acquisition of BitPlanet in South Korea. These strategic moves are intended to replicate and expand Bitcoin treasury models across the region. Sora Ventures’ latest venture further cements its role as a key player in the institutional adoption of Bitcoin in Asia [5].

The announcement marks a significant step in the broader recognition of Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. As Asian institutional investors increasingly align with the cryptocurrency, the fund’s launch suggests growing mainstream acceptance of Bitcoin as a legitimate store of value. This trend is part of a broader global shift, where corporate treasuries are increasingly allocating capital to digital assets. The fund’s structure and strategy are expected to encourage further institutional participation, not only in Asia but also in global markets [6].
