HK Asia Holdings Pioneer in the Adoption of Treasury in Bitcoin as the First to Move in China.
HK Asia Holdings Becomes the First in China to Adopt Treasury in Bitcoin
HK Asia Holdings (HKEX: 1723), which is in the process of rebranding as Moon Inc., made a historic decision by becoming the first publicly listed entity in Greater China to implement a Bitcoin treasury strategy. During a recent forum led by Allen Helm from Bitcoin For Corporations, the newly appointed CEO, John Riggins, detailed the company's transition, its compliance with Hong Kong regulations, and the significant growing momentum in the Asian market.
Riggins, a passionate advocate for Bitcoin with deep experience in China and Southeast Asia, shared that this strategic shift was driven by a strong conviction in the value of Bitcoin and a positive change in the regulatory environment in Hong Kong. He emphasized that the company engaged in extensive consultations over several months with regulators, public market stakeholders, and local partners before making this crucial move.
Initially centered on SIM cards and prepaid technology, HK Asia Holdings is now ready to intertwine Bitcoin into its balance sheet and redefine its business model. This evolution includes intentions to introduce Bitcoin-related products through its retail channels, such as Bitcoin ATMs and prepaid Bitcoin solutions.
As part of its initial steps, the company acquired 8.88 BTC during its post-acquisition phase, followed by an additional purchase of 10 BTC after the leadership transition was finalized, raising its total holdings to 18.88 BTC, which was valued at over $1.7 million at the time of the announcement. Riggins indicated that they plan to continue accumulating Bitcoin while adhering to Hong Kong's prudent yet transparent regulatory framework.
We see this as a mechanism to protect our balance sheet and expand our treasury
