Sora Ventures has made waves in the cryptocurrency landscape by unveiling Asia’s first Bitcoin treasury fund during Taipei Blockchain Week. The fund comes with an impressive backing of $200 million from various partners and investors throughout the region, with ambitious plans to acquire $1 billion worth of Bitcoin over the next six months. This announcement was detailed in a press release distributed to Bitcoin Magazine.
In recent years, several individual Bitcoin treasury firms have come into prominence across Asia. Notable examples include Japan’s Metaplanet, Hong Kong’s Moon Inc., Thailand’s DV8, and South Korea’s BitPlanet. These firms have primarily focused on holding Bitcoin directly on their balance sheets. In contrast, Sora Ventures aims to create a central pool of institutional capital that will not only support these existing companies but also promote the establishment of similar treasury operations on a global scale.
The new fund is seen as a critical effort to enhance collaboration between regional and international treasuries, thereby reinforcing Bitcoin’s stature as a reserve asset across various markets. Sora Ventures’ management team, under the leadership of Luke Liu, is keen on leveraging this initiative to attract new institutional partners, thereby broadening the resources available and expanding the network of Bitcoin treasury firms operating within Asia.
Liu expressed the monumental nature of this commitment, saying, “This is the first time that Asia has seen a commitment of this magnitude toward building a network of Bitcoin treasury firms, with capital commitment towards Asia’s first $1 billion treasury fund.” This initiative marks a significant shift, particularly as historically, the largest Bitcoin treasury funds and corporate adoption have been largely centered in the U.S.
Jason Fang, founder and Managing Partner at Sora Ventures, echoed this sentiment, underscoring Asia’s potential in the cryptocurrency sphere. He noted, “Asia has been one of the most important markets for the development of blockchain technology and Bitcoin,” pointing out how institutional interest in Bitcoin treasuries has surged in the U.S. and EU, while efforts in Asia have remained somewhat disjointed.
Reflecting on the recent trajectory, Sora Ventures made notable investments in relevant firms over the past few years. In 2024, for example, they invested in Metaplanet, supporting its ¥1 billion (approximately $6.56 million) allocation to Bitcoin. The firm also expanded its reach in 2025 by acquiring Moon Inc. in Hong Kong, DV8 in Thailand, and partnering to acquire BitPlanet in South Korea, each aimed at replicating successful Bitcoin-first treasury models across the continent.
With Asia now rallying behind the institutional adoption of Bitcoin, the freshly launched $1 billion fund could represent a pivotal advancement toward mainstream acceptance of Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset on the global stage. This strategic development underscores Asia’s evolving role in the cryptocurrency market, positioning it as a formidable player in institutional Bitcoin investment.
