Sora Ventures Unveils $1B Bitcoin Treasury Fund in Asia

Sora Ventures launches Asia’s first $1 billion Bitcoin treasury fund, aiming to complete acquisitions within six months and expand corporate crypto adoption across the region.


The race to institutionalize Bitcoin as a treasury reserve has gained a major boost in Asia. Sora Ventures, a crypto-focused venture capital firm, announced the launch of a $1 billion Bitcoin treasury fund, pledging to acquire the full amount of BTC within the next six months.

The initiative, revealed at Taipei Blockchain Week, is being described as the largest coordinated corporate treasury move in Asia’s crypto history—and potentially a catalyst for mainstream adoption of Bitcoin as a reserve asset across regional and global markets.

A First for Asia’s Institutional Bitcoin Landscape

Jason Fang, founder of Sora Ventures, introduced the fund during a panel titled Introducing BTC Strategy into Major Asia Equity Markets. According to Fang, the fund represents Asia’s first institutionalized Bitcoin treasury pool, backed initially by $200 million in commitments from regional partners.

Fang emphasized that while interest in Bitcoin treasuries has been growing in the United States and Europe, Asian efforts have been fragmented until now.

“This is the first time in history that institutional money has come together, from local to regional, and now to a global stage,” Fang said.

The company envisions the fund as a centralized vehicle for corporates and family offices to integrate Bitcoin into their treasuries. Beyond accumulation, Sora aims to create a framework that enables synergy between local pioneers and international treasury models, strengthening Bitcoin’s position as a cross-market reserve asset.

Building on Years of Bitcoin Strategy

The $1 billion fund formalizes several years of Sora Ventures’ strategic moves across Asia.

  • 2024: Invested in Metaplanet, backing Japan’s first listed Bitcoin treasury with a ¥1 billion ($6.56 million) allocation.
  • 2025: Acquired Moon Inc. in Hong Kong and DV8 in Thailand, and co-invested in South Korea’s BitPlanet.

Each investment was aimed at replicating the “Bitcoin-first” corporate treasury strategy pioneered by firms like MicroStrategy in the U.S., but within an Asian context.

Luke Liu, partner at Sora Ventures, described the launch as a regional milestone. He noted that Asia has never seen an institutional commitment of this magnitude directed toward building a network of Bitcoin treasury firms, a trend Sora now hopes to accelerate globally.

Metaplanet and Other Asian Leaders in Bitcoin Treasuries

While Sora Ventures works to unify institutional interest, several Asian firms have already established themselves as significant Bitcoin holders.

  • Metaplanet (Japan): Recently purchased 1,009 BTC, pushing total holdings to 20,000 BTC, with an ambitious goal of reaching 210,000 BTC by 2027.
  • Cango Inc.: Holds more than $570 million in Bitcoin.
  • Bitfufu: Owns over $200 million worth of BTC.

These early movers illustrate the increasing willingness of Asian corporates to diversify into Bitcoin, not only as an inflation hedge but also as a strategic reserve for international expansion.

At the recent Bitcoin Asia 2025 conference, political voices also amplified bullish sentiment. Eric Trump argued that Bitcoin could reach $1 million per coin, while pointing to China’s growing influence in the digital asset economy.

Family Offices and Japanese Firms Expand Exposure

Parallel to institutional moves, wealthy Asian families and listed companies have been ramping up their Bitcoin exposure despite ongoing market volatility.

  • Singapore: NextGen Digital Venture raised over $100 million for its Next Generation Fund II, with founder Jason Huang noting that family offices increasingly view digital assets as a “necessary part of diversified portfolios.”
  • Japan: Multiple Tokyo-listed companies announced Bitcoin strategies in recent months:
    • Lib Work launched a $3.3 million Bitcoin treasury program.
    • Remixpoint added 41.5 BTC, lifting reserves to 1,273 BTC.
    • ANAP acquired 11.68 BTC through its investment arm.
    • Agile Media Network continued incremental BTC purchases.
    • Def Consulting unveiled plans to adopt a treasury strategy.
  • In a notable move, Bakkt Holdings acquired 30% of textile maker MarushoHotta for $115 million, rebranding it as Bitcoin.jp to pivot the 120-year-old company toward treasury management.

This surge in adoption suggests that Japan, alongside Singapore, is positioning itself as a key hub for corporate crypto treasuries in Asia.

Toward a Global Bitcoin Treasury Network

Sora Ventures’ $1 billion fund could serve as a template for other regions to follow, aligning corporate treasuries under a coordinated framework. The initiative marks a transition from fragmented adoption to a more unified, institutional strategy.

For Asia, the timing is significant. As corporations, family offices, and venture funds deepen exposure, Bitcoin is being increasingly recognized as more than a speculative asset—it is becoming a reserve instrument integrated into business and financial planning.

If successful, Sora’s initiative may not only consolidate Asia’s role in Bitcoin’s adoption curve but also influence treasury strategies worldwide. By pooling institutional resources, the fund represents a shift toward Bitcoin’s legitimization as a corporate balance sheet standard, bridging regional momentum with global impact.

As Fang highlighted in Taipei, institutional treasuries are no longer confined to Western markets. With Asia entering the stage in a coordinated way, Bitcoin’s path toward becoming a global reserve asset appears stronger than ever.
