Sora Ventures Launches Asia’s First Bitcoin Treasury Fund, Plans To Buy $1 Billion In BTC Within 6 Months

Asia’s First Bitcoin Treasury Fund Launched by Sora Ventures

Sora Ventures made a groundbreaking announcement during Taipei Blockchain Week, unveiling Asia’s first Bitcoin treasury fund. The fund, backed by a $200 million commitment from partners and investors across the region, has set a goal to purchase $1 billion worth of Bitcoin within the next six months, as per a press release shared with Bitcoin Magazine.

The launch of this new fund marks a significant development in the region, following the emergence of individual Bitcoin treasury firms in recent years. Companies like Japan’s Metaplanet (TYO:3350), Hong Kong’s Moon Inc. (HKG:1723), Thailand’s DV8 (SET:DV8), and South Korea’s BitPlanet (KOSDAQ:049470) have been holding bitcoin on their balance sheets. The Sora Ventures treasury fund, however, will serve as a central pool of institutional capital aimed at supporting these existing firms and fostering the creation of similar treasuries globally.

With a focus on strengthening Bitcoin’s role as a reserve asset across markets, the fund seeks to create synergies between regional and international treasuries. Led by Sora Ventures’ management team, the initiative will bring in new institutional partners to expand resources and broaden the network of Bitcoin treasury companies operating in Asia.

Luke Liu, Partner at Sora Ventures, highlighted the significance of the initiative, stating, “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.”

While the largest Bitcoin treasury funds and corporate adoption have historically been concentrated in the U.S. market, Asia is now emerging as a serious contender for institutional Bitcoin investment. Jason Fang, founder and Managing Partner at Sora Ventures, emphasized this shift, stating, “Asia has been one of the most important markets for the development of blockchain technology and Bitcoin. 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. This is the first time in history that institutional money has come together, from local to regional, and now to a global stage.”

In previous years, Sora Ventures made strategic investments in Asia’s Bitcoin treasury pioneers, such as Metaplanet in Japan, Moon Inc. in Hong Kong, DV8 in Thailand, and BitPlanet in South Korea. These investments were aimed at replicating and scaling Bitcoin-first treasury models across the region.

As Asia’s institutional landscape aligns around Bitcoin adoption, the launch of the new $1 billion fund represents a significant step towards mainstream recognition of Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset in global markets.
