The meeting brought together executives from AsiaStrategy (Nasdaq: SORA), Nakamoto, Moon Inc., and Kliff Capital alongside Thaksin, who currently advises the Malaysian prime minister on ASEAN affairs, to explore positioning Thailand at the center of regional digital asset reserve development.
The consortium is building on a model already tested in Japan through Metaplanet, often described as Asia’s version of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy).
The meeting in Bangkok comes as AsiaStrategy, created from Sora Ventures’ merger with Nasdaq-listed Top Win, accelerates its expansion across Asia’s public markets. The group has executed acquisitions of listed companies in Thailand and South Korea, positioning them as vehicles for Bitcoin treasury deployment.
The Bangkok discussions focused on aligning these corporate treasury initiatives with national policy. Thaksin emphasized that a Bitcoin-based digital asset reserve could strengthen Thailand’s long-term financial stability, promote financial inclusion, and attract international capital under a regulated framework.
His involvement ties digital asset strategy to ASEAN-level policy ambitions, given his advisory role with the Malaysian government. The consortium argues that integrating Bitcoin into sovereign-style treasury strategies can create resilience and modernization pathways for economies in Southeast Asia, a region of over 680 million people.
ASEAN’s ten member states collectively represent an economy worth over $3.8 trillion, emphasizing the scale of reserves that a Bitcoin treasury strategy could tap into.
The strategy is modeled on treasury shifts that previously lifted Metaplanet’s valuation by thousands of percent in Japan, showing how Bitcoin allocation can become a driver of equity performance. In DV8’s case, cash reserves grew by 38% following the pivot, while yield-per-share improved by 13%.
The Bangkok initiative marks the first step toward formal alignment between Thailand’s political leadership and the digital asset treasury consortium.
For investors, the parallel development of corporate vehicles like DV8 and public platforms like AsiaStrategy presents a pathway for exposure to Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset within a regulated market.
Thailand could establish itself as ASEAN’s central hub for digital asset treasury, leveraging foreign capital and domestic regulatory clarity. The meeting with Thaksin formalizes political support for this agenda, positioning the consortium to embed Bitcoin strategies into corporate and national finance across the region.
