Sora Ventures has unveiled what it calls Asia’s first Bitcoin treasury fund, aiming to acquire $1 billion worth of BTC over the next six months. The announcement was made during Taipei Blockchain Week, accompanied by an initial $200 million commitment from partners and investors across the region.
The move builds on Sora Ventures’ previous efforts to back or acquire regional companies exploring corporate Bitcoin strategies. Last year, the firm invested in Japan’s Metaplanet, supporting its first ¥1 billion (approximately $6.5 million) Bitcoin allocation.
Since then, Sora Ventures has taken positions in Hong Kong’s Moon Inc., Thailand’s DV8, and South Korea’s BitPlanet, with the goal of replicating and scaling treasury-style Bitcoin allocations across multiple markets.
The Growth of Bitcoin Treasuries in Asia
Until recently, large-scale corporate Bitcoin treasury activity was largely centered in the United States, where firms like Strategy led adoption. Sora Ventures’ new fund reflects rising interest from Asian institutions seeking to implement strategies already common in the U.S. and Europe.
“This marks the first time Asia has seen a commitment of this magnitude to building a network of Bitcoin treasury firms, with capital allocated toward the region’s first $1 billion treasury fund,” said Luke Liu, Partner at Sora Ventures.
Meanwhile, Asian Bitcoin treasury companies continue to expand their exposure. Metaplanet, for example, recently secured shareholder approval to issue up to 555 million new shares to purchase more Bitcoin. Its total holdings have now surpassed 20,000 BTC, making it the sixth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally.
