Jason Fang, CEO of Sora Ventures, has emerged as the largest effective shareholder in Nasdaq-listed AsiaStrategy following a strategic restructuring of Pride River Limited’s ownership. The governance shift consolidates control around Fang-aligned entities while maintaining the company’s Bitcoin-focused corporate strategy, which includes rewarding luxury watch customers with Bitcoin gift cards and scaling its institutional treasury position. This move reinforces AsiaStrategy’s position as a leading Asian vehicle for corporate Bitcoin adoption without altering management or operational direction.

Sora Ventures announced the launch of Asia’s first Bitcoin treasury fund during Taipei Blockchain Week, backed by $200 million from regional partners. Unlike individual Asian firms like Metaplanet or Moon Inc. that hold Bitcoin directly, this fund will serve as a centralized pool of institutional capital aiming to acquire $1 billion worth of Bitcoin within six months. The fund’s primary goals include supporting existing Bitcoin treasury firms, fostering new ones globally, and creating synergies between regional and international treasuries. This move positions Asia as a growing force in institutional Bitcoin markets, historically dominated by U.S. entities. Sora Ventures will manage the fund to attract more institutional investors and enhance Asia’s Bitcoin treasury network, promoting a more integrated ecosystem for corporate BTC holdings across the region.

Sora Ventures announced at Taipei Blockchain Week the launch of a $1 billion Bitcoin treasury fund designed to pool institutional capital for corporate Bitcoin acquisitions across Asia. The fund has already secured $200 million in initial commitments and builds upon Sora’s previous MicroStrategy-inspired balance sheet approach. Unlike single-company treasury programs, this pooled vehicle will co-finance Bitcoin purchases, underwrite initial acquisitions, and seed new listed vehicles where local regulations make balance sheet exposure more efficient. The fund specifically targets reducing execution frictions that have hampered institutional adoption in Asia while accommodating regional differences in custody, disclosure, and tax treatment. Sora has set an ambitious six-month deployment schedule, which if achieved, would concentrate significant new Bitcoin demand through early 2026. The announcement follows successful treasury implementations by Asian companies including Japan’s Metaplanet, Hong Kong’s Moon Inc., Thailand’s DV8, and South Korea’s BitPlanet.

DV8 has undergone a significant transformation with the appointment of Jason Fang as CEO, signaling a strategic pivot to Bitcoin treasury management and digital assets. The company recently completed a successful warrant exercise that raised approximately $7.4 million, increasing its cash position by 38%. This capital provides the foundation for implementing a Bitcoin treasury strategy similar to Fang’s ‘MicroStrategy 2.0′ framework, which combines direct Bitcoin holdings with yield-generating structured products. The move is supported by favorable regulatory developments in Thailand, including tax exemptions on crypto gains and approval of stablecoin usage. DV8’s restructuring includes new board members and connects the company to a broader network of Asian public companies pursuing Bitcoin treasury strategies through Sora Ventures’ ecosystem.

Top Win International (Nasdaq: SORA) has raised $10 million via a three-year convertible note from WiseLink-led investors, becoming the first Taiwanese public company to invest in a Bitcoin treasury firm. The Hong Kong-based firm, formerly a luxury watch retailer, shifted to digital assets in 2025, partnering with Sora Ventures to hold Bitcoin and invest in similar companies. The funds will primarily acquire Bitcoin, with allocations for listed firms adopting treasury strategies and working capital. Top Win’s earlier stakes in Metaplanet (7,800 BTC) and HK Asia Holdings yielded massive returns, mirroring Sora Ventures’ $150 million fund goal. The deal integrates WiseLink’s fintech expertise with Top Win’s Bitcoin strategy, targeting expansion in Asia. Regulatory compliance and a hybrid retail-digital asset model underscore the transition.

Regulators in South Korea have approved a third-party share deal granting Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich and Sora-led investors control of SGA Co., a systems integrator serving government and education clients. The issuance of over 58 million new shares, backed by Sora Ventures and Gerovich, positions Asia Strategy Partners LLC as SGA’s largest shareholder. The ₩34.5 billion ($25 million) raised will fund operations and new business development, with management remaining but control shifting to new investors after a one-year lock-up period. This follows a similar strategy in Thailand, signaling a coordinated push to normalize Bitcoin as a treasury asset in Asia through regulated public firms. Jason Fang of Sora Ventures emphasized the role of public companies in legitimizing Bitcoin adoption via disciplined treasury strategies, calling the South Korea deal a ‘regulatory-first’ approach.
