Sora Ventures Launches $1 Billion Asian Bitcoin Treasury Initiative With $200 Million Secured

Sora Ventures announced an ambitious institutional capital pooling structure targeting $1 billion in Bitcoin acquisitions within six months, marking a significant expansion of its Asia-focused treasury strategy. Unveiled at Taipei Blockchain Week on September 5, the initiative has already garnered $200 million in commitments from regional partners and institutional investors at launch.

A New Model for Corporate Bitcoin Holdings

Rather than supporting individual company balance sheets, Sora’s pooled fund operates as a centralized mechanism designed to co-finance treasury programs across multiple listed issuers. The structure addresses a critical friction point: while Asia’s institutional adoption of Bitcoin has accelerated, fragmented approaches have prevented seamless cross-border execution. By consolidating capital and expertise, Sora aims to streamline custody arrangements, tax optimization, and disclosure protocols that vary significantly across jurisdictions.

The fund builds directly on Sora’s previous initiatives, including the $150 million program launched in December 2024 that established a MicroStrategy-style framework for Asian corporations. That earlier effort demonstrated how companies could pair direct Bitcoin holdings with structured yield products—a playbook Sora had already positioned across Hong Kong, Japan, and other major markets.

Ecosystem of Regional Players

The initiative complements an emerging network of publicly-listed treasury-focused entities. Japan’s Metaplanet, Hong Kong’s Moon Inc., Thailand’s DV8, and South Korea’s BitPlanet represent the vanguard of this movement, each tailoring Bitcoin allocation strategies to local regulatory and accounting environments. These companies have demonstrated measurable results: in August, a Taiwan Stock Exchange-listed investor deployed $10 million into a convertible note to acquire Bitcoin and align with treasury-focused investment theses, signaling institutional confidence in the model.

Thailand has emerged as a testing ground for this approach. DV8 executed a warrant tender process that raised approximately THB 241 million, converting this capital into treasury reserves. The firm subsequently appointed Sora executive Jason Fang as chief executive officer, tightening operational alignment with the broader strategic thesis.

Execution Timeline and Cross-Border Ambitions

The $1 billion deployment schedule—compressed into a six-month window—creates defined demand concentrated toward year-end 2025 and early 2026. This timeframe represents both an operational commitment and a market signal, potentially accelerating institutional participation in Asia’s Bitcoin ecosystem.

Sora has also expanded geographically through strategic acquisitions in South Korea, extending its footprint beyond the initial Japan and Thailand markets. The firm indicated that the pooled capital structure will eventually scale into additional regions as regulatory frameworks and market conditions permit.

Why This Matters for Asia’s Treasury Movement

The shift from single-issuer balance sheets toward a coordinated, multi-issuer platform reflects institutional maturation in Asia’s crypto markets. By reducing execution friction while respecting regional complexity around taxation and disclosure, Sora’s model addresses a genuine gap between Bitcoin’s adoption by leading global companies and Asia’s comparable listed-company ecosystem.

The announcement positions 2026 as a pivotal year for institutionalizing Bitcoin as a standard treasury reserve tool across Asia’s public markets.
