Sora Ventures Launches Asia’s First $1B Bitcoin Treasury Fund

Taiwan’s Sora Ventures has launched what it describes as Asia’s first Bitcoin treasury fund, aiming to purchase $1 billion in the cryptocurrency over the next six months. The fund, introduced at Taipei Blockchain Week, has already secured $200 million in commitments from regional backers to kickstart the effort.

The fund is a milestone for Bitcoin adoption in Asia, a market where large-scale treasury strategies have so far been led mainly by firms in the U.S. and Europe. By pooling institutional capital into a single structure, Sora Ventures aims to strengthen Asia’s role in Bitcoin holdings and create a more coordinated path for regional adoption.

The fund has already secured a strong start, with $200 million committed from investors across the region. Sora Ventures aims to raise the remaining $800 million within six months, bringing the total to $1 billion. The capital will be directed toward helping firms in Asia build and manage Bitcoin reserves, giving companies a chance to treat Bitcoin as a strategic financial asset rather than a speculative investment.

One distinguishing feature of the fund is its shared structure. Instead of companies independently figuring out treasury strategies, the fund provides a centralized pool of resources. This includes guidance on tax planning, treasury management, and navigating regulatory frameworks, each tailored to local markets. By lowering entry barriers, Sora Ventures hopes to make institutional participation in Bitcoin more accessible.

The initiative builds on Sora’s earlier efforts in the Bitcoin space. In 2024, the firm supported Metaplanet in Japan, helping it become one of the first listed companies in the country to hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet. Since then, Sora has expanded its involvement by backing firms in Hong Kong, South Korea, and Thailand, laying the groundwork for this larger, pan-Asian approach.

According to the company, one of Asia’s biggest hurdles has been the fragmented nature of adoption. Different countries moved at their own pace, with little coordination across borders. This new fund is designed to bridge those gaps, bringing together capital, expertise, and infrastructure in a way that unifies regional efforts and promotes collective growth.

Jason Fang, founder and managing partner, emphasized that institutional interest has traditionally been concentrated in the U.S. and Europe. The new fund, he said, represents Asia’s arrival on the global stage. Fellow partner Luke Liu described it as the first serious attempt to build a network of Bitcoin treasury firms across the continent.

Data from BitcoinTreasuries shows that corporate entities now hold more than 1 million BTC, with MicroStrategy in the U.S. alone accounting for over 636,000 BTC. Asia’s entry into this arena suggests a shift in momentum, as regional firms move from isolated experiments to coordinated strategies.

Looking ahead, Sora Ventures plans to deploy the fund fully within six months. If successful, the initiative could encourage more companies across Asia to adopt Bitcoin as a treasury asset before year-end. The firm also intends to bring in new partners, expand into additional markets, and build a broader network of institutional Bitcoin holders, signaling the start of a more unified Bitcoin economy in Asia.
