Sora Ventures to Buy $1B in BTC: Is Asia Finally Catching Up with the U.S.?

by

Well, well, well. Look who’s finally stepping up to the crypto plate. Sora Ventures, in a shock move that nobody saw coming (except for, you know, everyone watching the trends), announced they’re launching Asia’s very first $1 billion Bitcoin treasury fund. And guess what? It’s backed by a modest little $200 million from some friends across the region. Because who wouldn’t want to casually dip into the world of crypto with that kind of cash, right?

Now, this isn’t just some “hold Bitcoin on our balance sheets” kind of move. Nope, this fund is here to pool resources-think of it like a cryptocurrency co-op but with way more zeros involved. Its mission? To push Bitcoin into its destiny as THE global reserve asset. Because, let’s be real, what the world needs now is more institutional capital backing crypto, especially when we’re already swimming in it, right? 🙄

This isn’t your everyday “hey, we bought some Bitcoin” story. Sora Ventures has just turned Asia into a player on the institutional crypto investment stage, which up until now has been firmly held by the U.S. (remember them? they’ve been running the show like it’s 2017). Fang, in his infinite wisdom, pointed out that Asia’s efforts have been fragmented (cue dramatic music), but now, they’re pulling it all together. A local start, a regional expansion, and a global reach-who says Asia can’t pull off the same moves as the West?

Asia’s Rise in Bitcoin Investment

Last year, Sora decided to dip their toes in by helping Japan’s Metaplanet get their Bitcoin treasury game started with ¥1 billion ($6.56M). Fast forward to 2025, and they’re expanding faster than your internet connection on a good day. They’ve scooped up companies like Moon Inc. in Hong Kong, DV8 in Thailand, and BitPlanet in South Korea. All this just to get Bitcoin-first treasury models into every Asian country that’s even remotely interested. So, you know, basically every country except the ones still on dial-up.

And if you’re wondering if they’re serious, look no further than Metaplanet’s recent purchase of 1,009 BTC. With an average price of $111,057 per coin, that’s a solid $111 million just sitting there. Not bad for a country that used to just make gadgets and sushi rolls. 🍣🚀
