Bitcoin Life Insurance Company Meanwhile has completed a $82 million financing round, led by top global investors Bain Capital Crypto, Haun Ventures, and Pantera Capital, with participation from Apollo, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, and Stillmark.
- This financing will accelerate the global adoption of life insurance, annuities, savings, and insurance bonds priced in Bitcoin through institutional partners, protecting global policyholders from inflation and currency risks.
- Meanwhile is regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority, a leading global financial regulatory body, and offers savings and protection products priced in Bitcoin (the world's leading store of value).
- Driven by a surge in demand from individuals and institutions seeking protection through Bitcoin-denominated savings and corporate finance products, Meanwhile's assets under management (AUM) have grown by over 200%.
Meanwhile today announced it has raised $82 million in new capital to meet the growing protection needs of individual clients, including those seeking to protect their families and established financial institutions looking to offer Bitcoin-linked savings, retirement, and life insurance products.
Meanwhile's innovative products combine the security and predictable returns of traditional life insurance and annuities with Bitcoin (a scarce and inflation-resistant asset designed to preserve long-term value). Meanwhile's approach provides global policyholders with robust long-term financial planning, inflation hedging, and secure wealth transfer tools.
This financing round was co-led by Haun Ventures, Bain Capital Crypto, and Pantera Capital, with participation from Apollo, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, and Stillmark. Supported by both cryptocurrency-native financial institutions and traditional financial institutions, this financing indicates an increasing acceptance of Bitcoin as a foundation for mainstream financial products. This financing brings Meanwhile's total funding to $122 million by 2025, following a $40 million Series A round earlier this year co-led by Framework Ventures and Fulgur Ventures.
Meanwhile has entered a new stage of development with its groundbreaking advancements in reshaping insurance and Bitcoin capital markets:
- The world's first life insurance company priced in Bitcoin.
- Obtained the first long-term insurance license issued by Bermuda, setting a global precedent.
- The first audited Bitcoin financial statements, establishing trust and transparency.
- The first Bitcoin life insurance products, transforming an industry that accounts for about 3% of global GDP.
- Earning Bitcoin through conservative lending and private credit, making Meanwhile one of the largest long-term BTC lending institutions globally (with terms exceeding six months).
"Life insurance companies have always provided stable long-term capital to keep financial markets running," said Meanwhile CEO Zac Townsend. "We are giving the same mission to Bitcoin—helping families save and protect wealth in Bitcoin (BTC), while providing institutions with new revenue streams and launching compliant, scalable Bitcoin index products. This financing enables us to expand in collaboration with global partners based on existing effective solutions."
Bitcoin needs more than just short-term speculation. It requires reliable, long-term solutions backed by real economic activity. Meanwhile offers Bitcoin-denominated savings and protection that families and institutions can trust, while generating sustainable returns through conservative private credit and long-term loans to quality counterparties. Since its inception, Meanwhile has been built on trust, operating as a licensed, prudently regulated insurance company with solvency and reserve standards comparable to the world's most mature insurance companies.
"At Haun Ventures, our argument is that the Bitcoin economy needs more than just trading platforms and DAOs; it needs the core building blocks of capital markets. Just as the U.S. economy is built on insurance, pensions, and mortgages, the Bitcoin economy also needs its own long-term financial products. Meanwhile is a pioneer in this space, and we believe it will spark a new wave of innovation in the Bitcoin-denominated market," said Haun Ventures partner Chris Ahn. "Meanwhile is building simple, compliant, and durable products that make Bitcoin practical for both individuals and institutions," said Bain Capital Crypto partner Stefan Cohen. "We are excited to support the team in scaling and partnering with established insurance companies to safely and institutionally bring Bitcoin-linked savings and retirement products to market globally."
