\nBitcoin Life Insurer Meanwhile Raises $37.5M as Wealthy Families Look to Pass On Their BTC<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Meanwhile<\/a>, the first life insurer licensed to operate entirely in Bitcoin, has raised $37.5 million in new funding from its existing investors, the company announced<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bain Capital Crypto led the round, with participation from Haun Ventures, Framework Ventures, Pantera Capital, Apollo, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures and Morgan Creek Digital. The raise brings Meanwhile\u2019s total funding to more than $180 million. Sam Altman is also among its backers.<\/p>\n

The company said the round follows a surge in demand for its Bitcoin life insurance policies outside the US, particularly in Asia, Europe and the Middle East, amid broader macroeconomic instability.<\/p>\n

\u201cWealthy families around the world already hold Bitcoin. What they haven\u2019t had is a regulated way to pass it on,\u201d Zac Townsend, Meanwhile\u2019s co-founder and CEO, said in a statement.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBrokers came to us because their clients kept asking. This round lets us keep up with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

In early 2026, Meanwhile <\/a>launched BTC Life 1-Pay, a single-premium whole life policy aimed at high-net-worth clients outside the US. It is the company\u2019s second product line, after BTC 10-Pay, which is designed for US taxpayers.<\/p>\n

Under BTC Life 1-Pay, a client pays one premium in Bitcoin and receives a guaranteed death benefit in Bitcoin for life. The policy\u2019s value grows in Bitcoin, and after the first year the owner can borrow up to 90% of it, with no repayment schedule and no margin calls.<\/p>\n

Policies can be owned by individuals, trusts or companies, which the company says makes them suited to succession and estate planning.<\/p>\n

Since launch, Meanwhile has signed 15 brokers serving wealthy families, including in Singapore, Hong Kong, the UAE and Switzerland. Partners include Lioner, an insurance, trust and family office group with offices in Hong Kong, Singapore and Zurich, and Apeiron Group, a marketplace for high-net-worth life insurance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re reaching a turning point where more high-net-worth clients are asking not just how to hold Bitcoin and digital assets, but how to plan around them and ultimately transfer that wealth to the next generation,\u201d said Justin Man, CEO of Apeiron Group. Digital assets.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile said its net long-term underwriting income has already passed last year\u2019s total and is on track to more than double in 2026. The company did not disclose specific figures.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile owns every layer of a regulated life insurer and builds it like an AI-enabled startup,\u201d said Stefan Cohen, partner at Bain Capital Crypto. \u201cThe growth this year proves the model, and we\u2019re glad to back them again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s operating entity, Meanwhile Insurance Bitcoin (Bermuda) Limited, holds the first Class IILT license granted by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. It received the license in July 2024 after two years in the regulator\u2019s sandbox.<\/p>\n

The insurer\u2019s balance sheet, reserves and audited financial statements are all denominated in Bitcoin. Policyholder Bitcoin is held with regulated institutional custodians.<\/p>\n
