Buy Bitcoin on an exchange and your money moves before the Bitcoin does. Wrap it under Thailand's securities framework and it settles T+2 — the position is yours two days before you pay for it.
Kip Tiaviwat of Astra Enterprise on why that's a financial edge rather than just access: sell intraday and the capital never has to show up at all.
BFC Hong Kong Symposium, Bitcoin Asia 2026.
DV8 has been rebranded to @Astratreasury (BKK:ASTR) and has purchased their first 1 BTC after acquiring Rakkar and becoming the first public company in Southeast Asia to obtain digital asset license.
We are excited to have completed our rebrand from DV8 to ASTRA, and for having purchased our first 1 BTC, shortly after acquiring Rakkar.
Thank you @CryptoSlate for the coverage.

DV8 has officially transformed into Astra Enterprise Public Company Limited, with new ticker “ASTR” effective 13 May 2026.
Together with the expansion of the company’s business objectives and Board approval to invest in Bitcoin, the company has now completed the foundational milestones of its transformation — acquiring its first licensed digital asset business and completing its first Bitcoin purchase as part of Astra’s Bitcoin accumulation initiative.
This marks the formal launch of Astra’s long-term digital asset strategy.
A new era begins.

Excited to have met Thaksin Shinawatra, former Prime Minister of Thailand, to discuss the future of Bitcoin treasury strategy and how the institutionalization of Bitcoin can attract talent, wealth, and foreign investment in Thailand. We'll be taking what @saylor has built in the US, and replicating the same strategy in Thailand. Along the journey, we're blessed to have the support from @kliffcapital, @MoonIncHK, @UTXOmgmt, and @nakamoto. Time to do something great for Thailand!
