Taiwan-based Sora Ventures to buy $1 billion worth of Bitcoin for new fund

Sora Ventures, a Taiwan-based venture capital firm, plans to buy $1 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) for what it claims will be Asia’s first dedicated Bitcoin treasury fund.

In a press release on Friday, the company, which specializes in blockchain investments and digital assets, announced the creation of a Bitcoin treasury fund to acquire $1 billion worth of BTC within six months.

This fund, unveiled during the Taipei Blockchain Week event, has an initial commitment of $200 million from partners and investors in the region and seeks to consolidate and expand the institutional adoption of Bitcoin in Asia, supporting existing companies and creating new treasuries with a focus on centralizing capital and strengthening Bitcoin’s position as a strategic asset.

“This is the first time Asia has seen a commitment of this magnitude towards building a network of bitcoin treasury companies,” said Luke Liu, a partner at Sora Ventures.

Sora’s fund to boost Bitcoin investment

The fund is based on the Bitcoin treasury strategies of Asian companies such as Japan-based Metaplanet, Hong Kong-based Moon Inc., DV8 in Thailand, and South Korea’s BitPlanet, with whom Sora is already partnered.

In 2024, Sora Ventures invested in Metaplanet, supporting its allocation of approximately $6.56 million to Bitcoin. That move was followed this year by the acquisition of Moon and partnerships with DV8 and BitPlanet.

Unlike these companies, which hold Bitcoin directly on their balance sheets, the Sora Ventures fund will act as a centralized pool of institutional capital to support these firms and encourage the creation of similar treasuries globally.

The goal will be to create synergies between regional and international treasuries, strengthening Bitcoin’s role as a reserve asset in global markets, especially at a time of boom for cryptocurrency treasuries around the world. The fund also seeks to attract new institutional partners to expand the resources and network of companies with Bitcoin treasuries in Asia.

“Asia has been one of the most important markets for the development of blockchain technology and Bitcoin,” commented Jason Fang, founder and managing partner of Sora Ventures. “This is the first time in history that institutional money has come together, from the local to the regional and now to a global stage.”

Asia participates in the Bitcoin treasury race.

The crypto treasury rush, which is not limited to Bitcoin, has accelerated dramatically in 2025, with more than 150 U.S. public companies announcing plans since January to raise $98.4 billion to buy crypto for their corporate reserves, according to a Financial Times report citing data from firm Architect Partners.

Globally, 184 companies listed on stock exchanges hold some form of Bitcoin treasury, collectively accumulating more than 1 million BTC, denoting a strong preference among companies to hold the flagship cryptocurrency.

However, most of these Bitcoin-focused treasuries and corporate investment strategies are concentrated in the United States. With this new fund, Asia could be poised to position itself as a serious competitor in institutional Bitcoin investing, promoting its recognition as a reserve asset in global markets.

Strategy, a pioneer in this investment model and which began accumulating bitcoins in 2020, leads the list with 636,505 BTC, followed by the companies MARA Holdings, XXI, Bitcoin Standard, and Bullish, all American. Metaplanet ranks sixth with a stash of 20,000 BTC and crowning itself as the largest public Bitcoin holder outside the U.S.
