Crypto venture capital company Sora Ventures has announced a $1 billion Bitcoin treasury fund, describing it as Asia’s first major institutional pool for the digital asset. The fund was unveiled on Friday at Taipei Blockchain Week by Jason Fang, founder of Sora Ventures, during a session titled Introducing BTC Strategy into Major Asia Equity Markets.
Initial $200 Million Commitment from Asia
The company said the fund is supported by an initial $200 million commitment from institutional partners across Asia. It plans to scale this to the full $1 billion within six months. According to Fang, the initiative is designed to accelerate Bitcoin adoption among corporate treasuries in the region.
In an article shared by Fang, Sora Ventures outlined its vision of creating a centralised Bitcoin pool for institutions. The aim is to move beyond fragmented regional approaches and replicate the “Bitcoin-first” treasury models seen in the United States and Europe.
Building a Centralised Institutional Pool
Unlike country-specific efforts to accumulate Bitcoin, Sora Ventures’ fund is positioned as a global institutional vehicle. Fang described the launch as a landmark moment, noting that it is the first time institutional money has come together from local, regional, and now global levels.
The company stated that the treasury fund will support existing firms and encourage the creation of new Bitcoin treasuries worldwide. It also intends to reinforce the work of Asia’s early Bitcoin treasury pioneers while building connections between regional and international efforts. The long-term goal, according to Sora, is to strengthen Bitcoin’s role as a reserve asset across markets.
Rising Institutional Interest
Fang highlighted that institutional interest in Bitcoin treasuries has been steadily rising in the United States and the European Union, yet similar momentum in Asia has so far remained scattered. By establishing a centralised fund, Sora Ventures aims to provide a framework for greater institutional adoption in Asia and beyond.
While the company has not disclosed detailed strategies for acquisition and management, it has positioned the fund as a benchmark for corporate treasury practices across the region. Sora Ventures was contacted for further comment but did not provide a response before publication.
Leading Corporate Bitcoin Holders in Asia
The announcement comes as Asian corporations continue to increase their Bitcoin holdings. Japan’s Metaplanet is currently the region’s largest corporate holder. The company added 1,009 Bitcoin earlier this week, bringing its total reserves to 20,000 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $2.2 billion at present market prices.
Data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET shows that other major Bitcoin holders in Asia include Cango Inc., with holdings valued at more than $570 million, and Bitfufu, which has accumulated over $200 million worth of Bitcoin.
The launch of Sora Ventures’ treasury fund suggests that competition among institutional players to establish Bitcoin as a corporate reserve is gaining pace in Asia. If successful, the fund could serve as a model for further large-scale adoption across global equity markets.
