<h2 id="strong-emulating-microstrategy-s-blueprint-strong"><strong>Emulating MicroStrategy’s Blueprint</strong></h2> 
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Michael Saylor led MicroStrategy to be the first publicly <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/sora-ventures-launches-150-million-fund-to-emulate-microstrategys-bitcoin-strategy-across-asia/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">traded</a> company to adopt Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset in 2020. The company has since amassed significant Bitcoin holdings and has become a major player in the cryptocurrency space. Not only has this strategy expanded its asset base, but also drawn significant investor interest, resulting in a substantial increase in its stock price.<img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-73307 size-full" src="https://thebitjournal.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Sora-Ventures1.webp" alt="Sora Ventures Launches $150M Bitcoin Fund in Asia" width="1792" height="1024" title="Sora Ventures Launches $150M Bitcoin Fund in Asia 62"></p> 
<h2 id="strong-targeting-asian-markets-strong"><strong>Targeting Asian Markets</strong></h2> 
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Sora Ventures intends to launch this model in Japanese, Hong Kong, Thai, Taiwanese, and South Korean stock exchanges. The company would like to partner with open companies to create regulatory and market-specific strategies for treasury management focused on Bitcoin. Consider, for example, the peculiarities of Japan’s taxation of unrealized Bitcoin gains combined with the right corporate structures.</p> 
<h2 id="strong-metaplanet-s-remarkable-success-strong"><strong>Metaplanet’s Remarkable Success</strong></h2> 
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Metaplanet, a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed company, is a testament to the efficacy of this approach. With Metaplanet’s 1,000% stock rally in 2024, overtaking the rest as the number 1 stock on Tokyo’s stock exchange by means of both a partnership with Sora ventures and trésorerie firm Bitcoin inflation mindset. That leaves this success in the credit market, which forms the backbone of the potential benefits of Bitcoin integration into corporate financial strategies.</p> 
<h2 id="strong-expanding-the-initiative-strong"><strong>Expanding the Initiative</strong></h2> 
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Jason Fang, Managing Partner of Sora Ventures, said the model is highly scalable, adding: “We aim to roll this out across more firms – including a potential listing candidate on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, as well as a candidate on the Stock Exchange of Thailand we are currently in dialogue with. Fang emphasized the mutually beneficial potential of the networked approach, in which companies embracing Bitcoin treasuries can collectively supercharge their operations and finances.</p>

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Sora Ventures has made over 25 investments in the Bitcoin ecosystem — particularly in layer 1 infrastructure and Bitcoin applications to help Bitcoin grow its use. The firm has also invested in education up to and including the world’s biggest Bitcoin utility conference in Taipei, emphasising its continued commitment to driving adoption and instilling market confidence.</p> 
<h2 id="strong-microstrategy-s-influence-strong"><strong>MicroStrategy’s Influence</strong></h2> 
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">MicroStrategy’s strategy has encouraged other firms to follow suit. Take Genius Group an AI-driven education company, announced they would follow MicroStrategy and deploy 90% of their reserves to Bitcoin.</p> 
<h2 id="strong-summing-up-on-sora-ventures-strong"><strong>Summing Up on Sora Ventures</strong></h2> 
<p>Sora Ventures’ new $150 million fund is an important step for corporate treasury strategies across Asia, including Bitcoin. In adapting MicroStrategy’s approach, Sora Ventures hopes to bring similar benefits to listed companies across jurisdictions and positively impact their financial results and shareholder value amid the unique regulatory nuances of each market. Metaplanet’s success is a clear illustration of the potential benefits of this type of approach, representing a sea change in the area’s corporate finance landscape.</p>
