An international consortium led by Sora Ventures, Utxo Management and Kliff Capital has met the former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinatra in Bangkok to promote the role of Thailand as a Hub for Bitcoin as a treasury asset in Asean.
The meeting brought managers from Asias Strategy (Nasdaq: Sora), Nakamoto, Moon Inc. and Kliff Capital together with Thaksin, who is currently advising the Malaysian Prime Minister on ASEAN Affairs to explore Thailand in the center of regional digital assets -reserve development.
The consortium builds on a model that has already been tested in Japan via Metaplanet, often described as Asia’s version of strategy (formerly micro strategy).
As reported, the Metaplanet ran part of its treasury in Bitcoin in 2024 with Sora Ventures as a nuclear backer, which activated rapid valuation profits that validated Bitcoin allocation in business reserves. This approach has since evolved into what Sora has called ‘MicroStrategy 2.0’, a strategy that combines direct interests with structured return products aimed at both institutional and retail investors. The model was first described earlier this year at Consensus Hong Kong.
The meeting in Bangkok comes as an Asiast strategy, made from the merger of Sora Ventures with Nasdaq-Gente Top win, accelerates its expansion on the public markets of Asia. The group has carried out acquisitions of listed companies in Thailand and Zuid -Korea and positioned it as vehicles for the use of Bitcoin Treasury.
In July, the consortium completed an offer for DV8, a Thai-listed company, with almost complete warrant participation that brought around Thb 241 million, or $ 7.4 million, to support a pivot to digital asset strategies, as reported. Around the same time, the SGA Co. group acquired In South Korea for around $ 25 million, which extended his presence outside of Thailand.
The Bangkok discussions were aimed at tuning these initiatives from the Bedrijfschatbox to national policy. Thaksin emphasized that a Bitcoin -based digital asset reserve could strengthen the financial stability of Thailand in the long term, promote financial inclusion and attract international capital in the context of a regulated framework.
His involvement connects the digital asset strategy to Asean level policy ambitions, given his advisory role in the Malaysian government. The consortium argues that the integration of Bitcoin into sovereign-style treasury strategies can create resilience and modernization paths for economies in Southeast Asia, a region of more than 680 million people.
The ten Member States of ASEAN jointly represent an economy worth more than $ 3.8 trillion, with emphasis on the scale of reserves that could tap into a Bitcoin Treasury strategy.
Asiaststrategy acts as the listed investment platform, which means that the consortium is a public market with access to international capital flows. Asiaststratey also experiments with integrating Bitcoin payments into his retail daughter companies.
The strategy is modeled on Treasury shifts that have previously lifted the appreciation of metaplanet by thousands of percent in Japan, which shows how Bitcoin -allocation can become a motorcycle of equity performance. In the case of DV8, the cash reserves grew by 38% after the pivot, while the yield-per share improved by 13%.
Proponents claim that this shows how structured Bitcoin treasure boxes can yield measurable shareholder benefits and at the same time tailored to broader ambitions at state level. Metaplanet and his allies see steps as both innovation of companies and strategic positioning for national economies.
The Bangkok initiative marks the first step in the direction of formal coordination between the political leadership of Thailand and the Digital Asset Treasury Consortium.
For investors, the parallel development of commercial vehicles such as DV8 and public platforms such as ASIAR Strategy presents a path for Bitcoin exposure as a strategic reserve active within a regulated market.
Thailand could settle as the central hub of Asean for Treasury of Digital Assets, which uses foreign capital and domestic regulatory clarity. The meeting with Thaksin formalizes political support for this agenda and positions the consortium to bed Bitcoin strategies in business and national finances in the region.
