A group of private investors, including Metaplanet’s Chief Executive Officer, Simon Gerovich, are seeking to acquire control of SGA, a South Korean software firm listed on the KOSDAQ exchange.
While Gerovich’s involvement is in a personal capacity and separate from his role at Metaplanet, this move underscores his dedication to promoting Bitcoin
The acquisition plan hinges on SGA issuing 58 million fresh shares to the investment consortium, a proposal that has already secured the necessary approvals from SGA’s board and South Korean regulatory bodies.

Upon successful completion of the share issuance, the investor group, spearheaded by Top Win International (Nasdaq: SORA), which will rebrand as Asia Strategy LLC, is poised to become the dominant shareholder in SGA.
According to Top Win, the capital generated from this transaction will be strategically deployed to acquire key assets and address the company’s ongoing operational needs.
While Bitcoin itself was not specifically highlighted, the underlying objective is to facilitate the integration of Bitcoin into the balance sheets of more Asian corporations and to offer investors on the stock market a straightforward route to Bitcoin exposure without the complexities of direct ownership.
SGA intends to continue its existing software and IT services business, while concurrently leveraging the expertise of the investor group to explore innovative initiatives within the digital asset landscape. This includes the potential development of blockchain-related services that complement its established business operations.
In a related development, Vanadi Coffee, a modest chain of coffee shops operating in Spain with a limited presence of six locations, has recently announced plans to allocate a substantial investment of up to €1 billion (approximately $1.17 billion) to Bitcoin.
