Taiwan’s first Bitcoin treasury Top Win raises $10M for BTC purchases
Taiwan’s first publicly traded corporate Bitcoin treasury, Top Win International, raised $10 million to kickstart its BTC accumulation efforts.
The luxury watchmaker-turned-Bitcoin treasury announced Friday it raised $10 million from a group of investors led by zipper producer and software company WiseLink. The raise was accompanied by private investments from Chad Koehn, founder and CEO of United Capital Management of Kansas, alongside four other investors.
WiseLink purchased three-year convertible notes issued by Top Win. The investment followed a memorandum of understanding between the two companies outlining a yet-to-be-disclosed collaboration.
The announcement added that Top Win may also invest in listed Bitcoin (BTC) treasury companies alongside buying Bitcoin. Still, the company said it “has no plans to operate as an investment company or to engage primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities.”

Evolution of a watchmaker
Top Win International is a Taiwan-based luxury watchmaker that decided to pivot to a Bitcoin treasury strategy in mid-May. The change in strategy followed a partnership with Sora Ventures, the same company that partnered with Metaplanet in 2024 to create Japan’s first corporate Bitcoin treasury.
Top Win also announced that it would change its name to AsiaStrategy, in a nod to the world’s first Bitcoin treasury company, Strategy, previously known as MicroStrategy. Still, the latest announcement references the old company name, Top Win International.
Sora Ventures founder and managing partner Jason Fang joined the company board and took the position of co-CEO alongside the firm’s existing CEO. Top Win International’s stock took immediate notice, jumping to $12.12 in premarket trading on the day of the May announcement.

Stock reaction to BTC strategy
The news of the capital raise was seemingly well-received by market participants on Friday. At the time of writing, Top Win International’s stock had seen a pre-market price increase of almost 13%, trading at $5.82.
The price was a 51% drop from the $12.12 reported in premarket trading on the day that the company announced its pivot to Bitcoin accumulation. Still, the stock is up almost 52% year-to-date.
