A significant development in the cryptocurrency landscape emerged with the announcement of a partnership between AsiaStrategy, a Hong Kong-based institutional digital asset firm, and Anchorage Digital, the first federally chartered crypto bank in the United States. This collaboration positions Anchorage Digital as the primary custodian and settlement infrastructure provider for AsiaStrategy, marking a pivotal advancement in the firm’s strategy to enhance its cross-border Bitcoin treasury operations between the United States and Asia.
In a recent press release shared with Bitcoin Magazine, AsiaStrategy revealed that it had purchased 30 Bitcoin on September 30. Luke Liu, Chief Investment Officer of AsiaStrategy, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting that working with Anchorage Digital enables the firm to bolster its Bitcoin treasury strategy effectively. This collaboration is anticipated to support AsiaStrategy’s ongoing expansion while ensuring a secure custody infrastructure necessary for scalable operations.
Originally founded in 2001, AsiaStrategy focused primarily on trading and distributing luxury watches. However, in May 2025, the firm underwent a significant rebranding, shifting its focus entirely to digital assets and blockchain innovation. This strategic pivot positioned AsiaStrategy as a trailblazer in Bitcoin treasury management across Asia. “After our rebranding to focus on digital asset innovation, we purchased 30 BTC through the Anchorage Digital platform. This acquisition underscores our aggressive commitment to leading the Bitcoin treasury strategy in Asia,” said Liu.
Anchorage Digital offers a comprehensive suite of services tailored for institutional needs, including trading, staking, custody, governance, settlement, and stablecoin issuance. This extensive service offering is expected to facilitate AsiaStrategy’s cross-border Bitcoin operations, streamlining custody and settlement processes amidst the dynamic U.S. and Asian markets.
AsiaStrategy has articulated its intention to continue acquiring Bitcoin as part of a broader strategy aimed at establishing a substantial institutional presence within the region’s cryptocurrency ecosystem. Earlier this month, Sora Ventures, another significant player in the market, announced the launch of “Asia’s first Bitcoin treasury fund,” which has garnered $200 million in backing from regional partners. This fund aims to acquire a staggering $1 billion in Bitcoin within the next six months, underscoring the increasing institutional interest and investment in digital assets throughout the region.
