Taiwan’s WiseLink has become the first public company on the island to back a firm focused on Bitcoin treasury holdings, signalling a new phase of digital asset adoption in the region.
The electronics manufacturer spearheaded a $10 million funding round for Top Win International, listed on Nasdaq as SORA, through a three-year convertible note.
The partnership also formalises a capital and technology collaboration under the “Bitcoin + Cross-Border Finance” framework.
Tsai Kun Huang, CEO of WiseLink, told Decrypt,
“We believe now is the golden window to implement a Bitcoin capital strategy.”
Huang highlighted global monetary easing and rising geopolitical uncertainty as key factors prompting the search for “decentralized, scarce, and inflation-resistant assets,” with Bitcoin being the most mature option available.
The convertible note structure allows WiseLink to initially act as a creditor, protecting principal while earning fixed income, with the option to convert into equity later.
Huang explained,
“It locks in our strategic partnership position today, while giving us the ability to turn into a shareholder once market conditions and company performance are validated.”
Top Win, a Hong Kong-based luxury watch trader, is rebranding to “AsiaStrategy” as part of its expansion into digital assets.
Jason Fang, founder and managing partner at Sora Ventures, said,
“The future is public companies buying public companies that have exposure to digital assets!”
Top Win intends to primarily use the funds to purchase Bitcoin, with the option to selectively invest in other listed firms adopting similar treasury strategies, while confirming it will not operate as an investment company.

The $10 million round included contributions from Chad Koehn of United Capital Management and four other private backers.
WiseLink contributed $2 million through convertible notes, positioning itself as the lead investor while retaining flexibility.
WiseLink joins a growing number of Asian firms integrating Bitcoin into corporate reserves.
Japan’s Metaplanet has accumulated 18,113 BTC, targeting 210,000 BTC by 2027, positioning itself as “Asia’s MicroStrategy.”
South Korea’s K Wave Media partnered with Galaxy Digital, gaining access to almost $1 billion in institutional capital for its Bitcoin treasury plan.
Singapore-based Genius Group has raised its BTC target from 1,000 to 10,000, reflecting an aggressive push into digital asset reserves.
Analysts point to a quiet corporate accumulation phase, with spot ETFs and treasuries gradually buying BTC, driving prices above $118,000.
Some experts warn of a potential bubble reminiscent of the 1999 dot-com surge if corporate FOMO accelerates.
Unlike other companies turning to Bitcoin as a survival tactic, WiseLink is financially stable.
It reported positive net income in 2023 and $46 million in revenue in 2024, with trailing-12-month revenue of $53 million.
Top Win, in contrast, holds $3.8 million in working capital and $3 million in cash, and has disclosed “material weaknesses” in financial reporting.
Huang emphasised that WiseLink’s strategy is not merely to purchase Bitcoin but to integrate reserves into cross-border operations, aiming for “a dual engine of asset preservation and business innovation.”
As more firms in Asia explore Bitcoin treasury models, WiseLink’s move may inspire similar approaches, blending traditional business growth with digital asset reserves.
With careful structuring and selective partnerships, the company aims to leverage Bitcoin as both a strategic investment and a tool for business expansion, setting a precedent for other Taiwan-listed firms to follow.
