SoFi HK does not direct register shares, so you need to transfer your shares to another broker that can DRS transfer. A popular route has been through Interactive Brokers (IBKR).
SoFi charge a $150 fee to transfer to another broker. That means each time you transfer to another broker, no matter how many shares, you are charged $150.
The quickest way is to open an Interactive Broker account, buy a share, and request a DRS transfer (link to guide here). While you wait for your Computershare account to be created, you can transfer your shares from Sofi HK to IBKR with a Basic FOP Transfer, then from Interactive Brokers (IBKR) to Computershare via DRS transfer for a $5(US) fee.
