Once completed, the group, led by Nasdaq-listed Top Win International, which is changing its name to Asia Strategy LLC, will become SGA’s largest shareholder.

Top Win stated that the funds raised through this deal will be used to acquire strategic assets and meet the company's operational needs.

While Bitcoin was not directly mentioned, the strategy is to help more Asian firms add Bitcoin to their balance sheets and provide stock market investors with a simple way to gain Bitcoin exposure without holding it directly.

SGA plans to continue running its core software and IT business while using the investor group’s experience to explore new digital asset initiatives. This includes potential blockchain-related services, developed alongside its traditional operations.
