Simon Gerovich, CEO of Tokyo-based Metaplanet, is part of a consortium that is negotiating to acquire a controlling stake in SGA, a publicly traded software services company listed on South Korea’s KOSDAQ. The deal, if finalized, would position SGA to acquire Bitcoin as part of a broader digital asset strategy.
While Gerovich is listed as an independent investor — not acting on behalf of Metaplanet — the move aligns with the company’s growing Bitcoin treasury strategy. According to a press release from Top Win International, (SORA on the Nasdaq stock exchange), “proceeds from the issuance will be used for strategic asset acquisitions and general corporate purposes.”
Acquisitions such as this are part of a broader strategy to accelerate corporate Bitcoin adoption across Asia by transforming traditional companies into Bitcoin-aligned entities, using deals to position companies like DV8 and SGA as vehicles for Bitcoin exposure in regional capital markets.
The board of SGA and the Korean Financial Services Commission approved the issuance of 58 million new shares to the consortium, but no definitive agreement has been signed. If completed, Top Wind, rebranded as Asia Strategy LLC, would become the largest shareholder in the company.
SGA said it will maintain its core business operations while leveraging the consortium’s expertise to pursue new initiatives in the digital asset space.
