Sora Ventures Unveils $1 Billion Bitcoin Treasury Fund
In a groundbreaking move for the cryptocurrency industry, Sora Ventures, a leading Asia-based venture capital firm, has announced the launch of a $1 billion Bitcoin Treasury Fund. Unveiled during Taipei Blockchain Week, this initiative marks Asia’s first dedicated institutional vehicle aimed at accelerating corporate Bitcoin adoption across the region. With an initial $200 million commitment from regional partners, the fund is poised to reshape the landscape of digital asset investment.
The fund’s primary objective is to support companies in integrating Bitcoin into their balance sheets, mirroring successful models pioneered by firms like MicroStrategy in the United States. Sora Ventures plans to acquire up to $1 billion worth of Bitcoin within the next six months, leveraging a centralized pool of institutional capital. This approach contrasts with individual corporate treasuries, such as Japan’s Metaplanet and Hong Kong’s Moon Inc., which have been early adopters in the region. By consolidating resources, Sora aims to create synergies between local and global markets, positioning Bitcoin as a legitimate reserve asset.
Luke Liu, Partner at Sora Ventures, emphasized the significance of this step, stating, “This is the first time Asia has seen a commitment of this magnitude toward building a network of Bitcoin treasury firms.” The firm’s track record supports this ambition, having backed Metaplanet’s ¥1 billion Bitcoin allocation in 2024 and acquiring key players like Moon Inc., Thailand’s DV8, and South Korea’s BitPlanet in 2025. These strategic moves lay the foundation for a coordinated push to elevate Asia’s role in the global crypto economy.
The announcement comes at a pivotal moment, with Bitcoin’s price hovering around $110,000 following recent market fluctuations. Analysts suggest that the fund’s aggressive acquisition strategy could drive further demand, potentially pushing prices higher if executed smoothly. However, regulatory challenges in diverse Asian markets remain a hurdle, and Sora’s ability to navigate these will be critical to its success.
For investors, this development signals a bullish outlook for Bitcoin, particularly in Asia. The fund’s centralized structure offers standardized custody and compliance solutions, which could attract more institutional players. As the initiative unfolds, it may set a precedent for other regions, reinforcing Bitcoin’s growing acceptance as a corporate treasury asset. Stakeholders are advised to monitor progress over the coming months, as this could mark a turning point in the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies.

Strategy (MicroStrategy) Adds 250 Bitcoin, Holdings Reach 848,250 BTC

Strategy, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSTR), the company led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, acquired an additional 250 bitcoin for approximately $21.5 million between October 5 and October 11, 2026, at an average price of $86,194 per coin (including fees and expenses). The purchase brings the firm’s total holdings to 848,250 BTC.
The company funded the acquisition primarily through net proceeds of about $21 million from at-the-market sales of 125,183 shares of its Class A common stock (MSTR), with the remaining roughly $0.5 million drawn from its USD cash balance. No preferred stock was sold during the period. Strategy’s cumulative bitcoin investment now stands at roughly $64 billion, acquired at an average cost basis of approximately $75,444 per coin. At recent market prices, the holdings represent more than 4% of Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply cap and carry substantial unrealized gains.
In the same weekly update, Strategy reported repurchasing 1,932,145 shares of its STRC preferred stock (Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock) for an aggregate of about $192.4 million. The company maintains a large USD reserve—previously reported near $4.88–$5.5 billion—to support preferred stock dividends and interest payments on outstanding debt. Additional cash balances remain available for treasury activities, including further bitcoin purchases.
Saylor highlighted the latest acquisition on X with the familiar phrase “There’s always room for more orange,” continuing his long-running pattern of signaling accumulation. Strategy remains the largest publicly traded corporate holder of bitcoin. The move occurred against a backdrop of elevated volatility, with bitcoin trading in the roughly $81,000–$84,000 range around October 12 after earlier strength above $84,000.
The latest purchase marks continued, if more modest, weekly accumulation following larger buys in prior weeks. Strategy has paired ongoing bitcoin treasury expansion with active capital management, including preferred-stock repurchases, while relying on equity issuance and existing cash reserves to fund purchases.
