Catenaa, Tuesday, September 09, 2025- Hong Kong-based HashKey Group announced yesterday (Monday) it would launch its first Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) fund with an initial target size of $500 million.
The move positions HashKey at the forefront of a fast-growing strategy that has seen global companies accumulate crypto assets to benefit from rising token prices and easing regulation.
The multi-currency DAT fund aims to build a diversified portfolio by investing in projects tied to mainstream digital assets, with an early focus on the Ethereum and Bitcoin ecosystems.
HashKey said it intends to back leading DAT projects worldwide to strengthen crypto asset standardization and help advance a sustainable Web3 infrastructure.
DAT strategies gained momentum after U.S. software firm Strategy built a bitcoin reserve worth more than $63 billion. Inspired by that model, public companies now hold nearly 100,000 bitcoin collectively, according to Standard Chartered.
Analysts note the approach has spread beyond the United States, with growing adoption in Hong Kong, Japan and other Asian markets.
HashKey, founded in 2018, has become one of Asia’s most prominent digital asset financial groups.
The firm operates Hong Kong’s largest licensed crypto exchange and provides asset management, brokerage and tokenization services.
Its entry into the DAT space highlights the increasing appeal of treasury-driven crypto accumulation among listed firms, particularly as regulators soften their stance on digital finance.
The company said the new fund underscores its goal of promoting institutional-grade practices while expanding global adoption of blockchain-based finance.
