The Sora Ventures founder emphasized the success of Japanese investment firm Metaplanet after the company adopted Bitcoin in its books. He also highlighted that the pro-Bitcoin approach gives retail investors a straightforward and efficient way to enhance their Bitcoin performance without the need to manage complex private keys.

Metaplanet adopted Bitcoin in its treasuries in mid-2024 to boost its shareholders’ value and control the risks such as the volatility of the yen as well as the high national debt closely associated with economic uncertainties in Japan. Metaplanet’s Bitcoin adoption move significantly increased its stock value. The company’s share price surged by 4,800% in the last 12 months as of February 10th.

Metaplanet also experienced a substantial increase in market capitalization and shareholder numbers. In 2024, the company’s shareholder count grew by 500% to more than 50,000 individuals and entities investing in the company. According to Stock Analysis, its market capitalization expanded by more than 6,300% during the same duration.

Metaplanet mirrored Michael Saylor’s Microstrategy plan of introducing the digital asset in its reserves. Microstrategy adopted Bitcoin in August 2020 and is currently the largest Bitcoin corporate holder globally. According to data from Bitcoin Treasuries, the company now holds 478,740 Bitcoin worth more than 47 billion at the time of this publication. In February alone, Microstrategy purchased 7,633 Bitcoin, valued at about $742 million.

On the other hand, Metaplanet is the largest Bitcoin holder among publicly traded companies in Japan. Data from Bitcoin Treasuries shows that the Japanese investment firm currently holds 2,100 BTC worth $206.55 million at current BTC rates. The data also showed that Metaplanet executed two purchases in February with the most recent purchase being on February 20th and the previous being on February 17th.

Sora Ventures launches a $150 million fund for corporate Bitcoin treasury strategies

Sora Ventures has been at the forefront of Bitcoin advocacy. In December last year, the firm launched a $150 million fund to facilitate Bitcoin-oriented treasury strategies among Asia’s publicly listed companies. The firm adopted the strategic move, drawing inspiration from U.S.-based software giant Microstrategy. According to the announcement, the fund will narrow down to organizations listed on major stock exchanges in Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea.

Microstrategy’s Bitcoin approach has inspired other companies to buy the digital asset as a way of hedging against inflation and boosting shareholders’ value. In the U.S., Bitcoin discussions have escalated to the state and federal levels. Trump’s administration is considering a Bitcoin reserve for the national U.S. treasury. 

Different states have also joined the bandwagon by showing increasing interest in adopting the asset. New Mexico recently joined other U.S. states in the race to Bitcoin reserves. The state introduced Senate Bill 275 (SB 275), also known as the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act. Senator Anthony Thornton introduced the bill proposing a 5% allocation of public funds into Bitcoin. In November 2024, Pennsylvania proposed a bill to establish a Bitcoin reserve. The bill made the state one of the first U.S. states to pursue BTC reserves.

Outside the U.S. several countries have also expressed their interest in Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. The Czech Republic, Germany, Hong Kong, Poland, Russia, Brazil, and Japan have expressed their interest in introducing crypto reserves for their respective national treasuries. However, other countries remain cautious.
