A consortium led by the founding forces behind Japan’s Metaplanet, known as the “MicroStrategy of Asia,” announced plans on July 3 to acquire Thailand’s DV8 Public Company Limited through a voluntary tender offer.
The cross-border alliance includes UTXO Management, Sora Ventures, Kliff Capital, Simon Gerovich, Moon Inc., AsiaStrategy, and Mythos Group. The transaction marks a significant move by prominent Bitcoin-focused investors to expand their treasury strategy footprint across Asia.
UTXO Management, co-founded by Tyler Evans and Bitcoin Magazine founder David Bailey, invests in Bitcoin opportunities across public and private markets. Sora Ventures, founded by Jason Fang, is known for backing over 40 companies across the Bitcoin, DeFi, and Web3 sectors.
Kliff Capital, Thailand’s leading alternative asset manager, is also joining the bid. The firm was founded by Annie Yang, formerly of Goldman Sachs and KKR, entrepreneur Tanat Tananivit, and prominent financial strategist Kip Tiaviwat.
Gerovich and Fang have spearheaded the Metaplanet’s Bitcoin-native treasury model. The bid further includes Moon Inc., listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and AsiaStrategy, a Nasdaq-listed firm investing in Asian public companies with Bitcoin treasury strategies.
Mythos Group, a multi-strategy digital asset holding company active in venture funding and corporate treasury deals, is also part of the acquisition effort.
The proposed acquisition unites institutional investors and Bitcoin treasury leaders from Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, and the US. It is expected to accelerate the adoption of digital assets within Thailand’s capital markets.
The financial terms of the tender offer were not disclosed.
