Regulated Bitcoin Protection

Licensed by the Bermuda Monetary Authority, Meanwhile is the world’s first long-term insurer fully denominated in Bitcoin. The company provides policyholders with BTC-based life insurance, annuities, and savings products, protecting them from currency devaluation and inflation.

“Life insurers have always provided the steady, long-term capital that keeps financial markets moving,” said Zac Townsend, CEO of Meanwhile.

“We’re bringing that same role to Bitcoin—helping families save and protect wealth in BTC, while giving institutions new ways to earn returns and launch Bitcoin-indexed products that are compliant and easy to scale,” said Townsend.

The firm’s Bitcoin assets under management have surged by more than 200%, reflecting growing confidence in BTC as a long-term store of value.

Institutional Confidence and Strategic Growth

With this latest round, Meanwhile’s total 2025 funding has reached $122 million, following a $40 million Series A earlier this year led by Framework Ventures and Fulgur Ventures.

The participation of legacy financial powerhouses like Apollo and Northwestern Mutual shows Bitcoin’s increasing acceptance as a base asset for regulated financial products.

Investors say that Meanwhile is paving the way for Bitcoin’s integration into mainstream financial infrastructure. “Just as the U.S. economy was built on insurance, pensions, and mortgages, the Bitcoin economy will require its own long-duration financial products,” said Chris Ahn, partner at Haun Ventures.

Building the Future of Bitcoin Capital Markets

Meanwhile generates sustainable yield through conservative private credit and long-term BTC lending, operating with full solvency and reserve standards that are comparable to traditional insurers.

“Meanwhile is building simple, compliant, and lasting products that make Bitcoin practical for both people and institutions,” said Stefan Cohen, partner at Bain Capital Crypto.

As the world searches for inflation-proof savings and long-term financial stability, Meanwhile’s expansion marks a new era: one where Bitcoin moves beyond speculation to become a trusted pillar of global wealth preservation.
