  • Jason Fang, founder, noted that institutional interest has primarily been in the U.S. and Europe, highlighting Asia's emerging role.
  • Sora Ventures previously invested in Metaplanet and acquired firms such as Hong Kong’s Moon Inc. and Thailand’s DV8.

Publicly traded companies collectively control over 1 million BTC, with Strategy holding the largest share at 636,505 BTC.
