Sora Ventures Reveals Plan for Asia’s First $1B Bitcoin Treasury Fund

Sora Ventures has announced the launch of Asia’s first Bitcoin treasury fund. The fund will target the purchase of $1 billion worth of Bitcoin within the next six months. It was introduced during Taipei Blockchain Week with an initial commitment of $200 million from investors and partners across the region.

Why This Fund Matters

The Sora Ventures Bitcoin Treasury Fund is designed to make Bitcoin adoption easier for businesses across Asia. Rather than each company buying and holding Bitcoin on its balance sheet, the fund will act as a central pool of institutional capital. This approach reduces risks for individual firms while expanding access to Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.

For years, U.S. companies like MicroStrategy and Tesla have led the way in corporate Bitcoin strategies. In contrast, Asian companies have moved more cautiously, with efforts often fragmented across markets. This new fund aims to align regional players and build a stronger, unified framework for Bitcoin adoption.

Building on Previous Moves

Sora Ventures is not new to corporate Bitcoin adoption. Over the past two years, the firm has backed and acquired several companies across Asia that took early steps into Bitcoin treasury strategies:

• Metaplanet (Japan): Backed by Sora Ventures, Metaplanet crossed the 10,000 Bitcoin mark on June 15. 
• Moon Inc. (Hong Kong): Acquired in 2025 to expand Bitcoin-first treasury models in Hong Kong.
• DV8 (Thailand): Reorganized under Jason Fang’s leadership, DV8 adopted Bitcoin strategies and restructured shareholder arrangements.
• BitPlanet (South Korea): Partnered with Sora Ventures to build a treasury approach in South Korea.

These moves set the stage for the $1 billion Bitcoin treasury fund, which scales the approach from individual corporate efforts to a regional institutional pool.

How the Fund Works

The fund’s structure allows companies to participate in Bitcoin adoption without exposing their entire balance sheet. Instead of holding Bitcoin directly, firms can rely on the pooled resources of the treasury fund. This provides:

• Reduced risk exposure for companies new to Bitcoin.
• Liquidity support to back corporate treasury needs.
• Institutional credibility that helps bridge local firms with global markets.

Jason Fang, founder and managing partner of Sora Ventures, said the initiative is designed to make Bitcoin safer for companies to explore. 

“We have seen a rise in interest from institutions investing in Bitcoin treasuries in the U.S. and EU, while in Asia efforts have been relatively fragmented,” Fang explained. This is the first time in history that institutional money has come together, from local to regional, and now to a global stage.”

Historically, Bitcoin treasury strategies have been dominated by the U.S.-based companies and funds. Asia, however, is now establishing itself as a key region for institutional Bitcoin investment. The $1 billion fund marks a turning point where local companies and investors can collectively scale adoption.

Case Studies in Adoption

Metaplanet’s Example

Metaplanet, once known for budget hotels, shifted its business model to Web3 and digital assets. With Sora Ventures’ backing, the company allocated ¥1 billion ($6.56 million) to Bitcoin. The decision was partly motivated by Japan’s economic pressures and the need to reduce reliance on the yen. Investors welcomed the move, and Metaplanet’s stock price rose following the announcement.

DV8 in Thailand

DV8 Public Company Limited has taken bold steps under Jason Fang’s leadership. The company restructured its finances and shareholder base while adopting Bitcoin as part of its corporate strategy. DV8’s example shows how mid-sized companies in Asia can reposition themselves through Bitcoin adoption and attract renewed investor interest.

Expanding Beyond Asia

Although the fund is focused on Asia, its ambitions extend globally. By aligning companies across Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, and South Korea, Sora Ventures aims to create synergies between regional treasuries and international markets. The pooled capital also allows for larger, coordinated Bitcoin purchases that strengthen its role as a global reserve asset.

Conclusion

The Sora Ventures $1 billion Bitcoin Treasury Fund is a significant step for Asia’s role in corporate Bitcoin adoption. By pooling capital from institutions, the fund reduces risks for individual companies and strengthens Bitcoin’s position as a treasury reserve asset. 

The initiative builds on earlier investments in Metaplanet, Moon Inc., DV8, and BitPlanet, while pushing toward broader institutional adoption across the region.

For now, the fund provides structure and scale to Asia’s Bitcoin treasuries, making the region a stronger player in global Bitcoin markets.
