HK Asia Holdings stock soars as it kicks off MicroStrategy 2.0 strategy with Bitcoin purchase
Advertising
HK Asia Holdings (HK1723) announced a purchase of Bitcoin through a series of transactions on an open market crypto exchange platform on 20 Feb.
The company acquired approximately 7.88 BTC at an aggregate consideration of HK$5,936,906.26 (US$761,705.07, excluding transaction costs), financing the investment exclusively with internal resources. The purchase, which follows an earlier Bitcoin acquisition announced on 16 Feb, brings the Group’s total holding to about 8.88 BTC, with an average cost of HK$756,209.74 per unit.
The aggregated investment remains below the 5% threshold specified under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, so the transaction does not trigger notifiable reporting requirements. Joint Offerors have consented to the initial and subsequent transactions, and shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing with the company’s shares.
The filing arrives amid a broader strategic realignment that has redirected HK Asia Holdings’ focus toward digital assets and blockchain technology. The company’s earlier purchase of 1 BTC was emblematic of its emerging commitment to a digital-first approach—a pivot further underscored by its recent board appointments.
Figures associated with BTC Inc. and Sora Ventures have joined the leadership team, reinforcing a strategy that now encompasses Web3 initiatives and innovative financial instruments.
The measured execution of the latest Bitcoin acquisition, structured to stay within regulatory thresholds, may reflect a deliberate effort to balance exposure to volatile digital asset markets while leveraging in-house liquidity.
HK Asia Holdings’ incremental buildup of Bitcoin positions aligns with the recently announced MicroStrategy 2.0 plan to integrate Bitcoin into traditional companies’ portfolios. The transaction’s scale and timing suggest a strategic posture aimed at capitalizing on potential market opportunities while adhering to the regulatory frameworks governing Hong Kong’s capital markets. By limiting aggregated crypto exposure below critical notifiable levels, the company appears to manage risk without compromising its broader strategic objectives.
As the company undergoes a significant transformation following the majority acquisition by UTXO Management, Sora Ventures, and other partners, the new leadership is now actively involved in day-to-day operations and steered the company toward a rebranding initiative expected to culminate in a new identity—Moon Inc.—reflecting its long-term commitment to digital assets.
HK Asia Holdings’ price hit an all-time high of 6.6 HKD following the announcement.
