Overview
Avenir Group is the Hong Kong family office of Li Lin, who built the Huobi (now HTX) crypto exchange and sold a controlling stake in it in 2022 (The Standard/Reuters, April 2026). According to that report it has been Asia's largest bitcoin ETF investor since 2024, holding 18.3 million shares of BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust worth about US$908 million at the end of 2025 per its regulatory filing. In April 2026 Hong Kong-listed Bitfire Group, in which Li is the largest shareholder, agreed to buy Avenir's investment team and trading systems for US$1.6 million to launch a bitcoin-denominated asset management strategy for external clients.
