Bitcoin News Today: Top Win Raises $10M to Build Bitcoin Treasury, First in Taiwan

Top Win International, listed on Nasdaq and trading under the ticker SORA, has raised $10 million in a funding round led by China Taiwan-based firm Wiselink Co., Ltd. The capital will be used to purchase Bitcoin, marking Top Win as the first publicly listed company in the region to adopt a Bitcoin treasury strategy [1]. The funding includes a $2 million convertible note from Wiselink and $8 million from additional investors, such as United Capital Management of Kansas [2]. The company has clarified it does not intend to operate as an investment firm, and the funds may also be used to invest in other publicly listed companies with Bitcoin treasury strategies [3].

This move reflects a broader trend of institutional interest in Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, particularly following increased corporate and sovereign adoption. Top Win, which rebranded from its previous ticker TOPW in May 2025 following a partnership with SORA Ventures, has been gradually transitioning from a luxury watch brand toward the digital assets industry [4]. The firm’s decision comes as other publicly traded companies, including Sequans Communications and Norges Bank Investment Management, also announce significant Bitcoin-related strategies [5].

The timing of the investment is notable, as Bitcoin has experienced volatility in the short term, including a 0.9% drop in the last 24 hours. Despite a sharp decline in Top Win’s share price—down 15.74% at market open—the stock has gained 12.41% over the past five days, indicating some market confidence in the company’s pivot [6]. The announcement highlights the growing convergence between traditional finance and the cryptocurrency sector, as more firms seek to hedge against macroeconomic risks through digital assets [7].

The move by Top Win could encourage further corporate adoption of Bitcoin treasuries, especially as regulatory clarity and infrastructure continue to develop. It also positions the company at the forefront of digital asset integration in publicly traded firms from the region. The firm’s strategic pivot underscores a broader shift in how companies are evaluating the role of Bitcoin in long-term value creation and treasury management [8].
