BTC Meanwhile received US$37.5 million in financing, and overseas demand for Bitcoin life insurance surged.
At the same time, Meanwhile, a Bermuda-based life insurance company with a comprehensive Bitcoin operating license, recently received US$37.5 million in its latest round of financing led by Bain Capital Crypto. Other participating institutions include Haun Ventures, Framework Ventures, Pantera Capital, Apollo, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures and Morgan Creek Digital. Well-known investor Sam Altman is also one of the supporters of the project. This latest capital injection has brought Meanwhile's cumulative financing amount to exceed US$180 million.
Demand for Bitcoin life insurance from high-net-worth households rises
The company said demand for its bitcoin-denominated life insurance products in international markets, especially outside the United States, is continuing to grow, especially in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Meanwhile attributes this trend to increased macroeconomic uncertainty and increased attention from high-net-worth individuals and households to digital asset inheritance planning.
Zac Townsend, co-founder and CEO of Meanwhile, pointed out that wealthy households around the world often already hold Bitcoin, but lack compliance solutions to pass on these assets to future generations. Townsend explained: "Wealthy families around the world already hold Bitcoin. What they lack is a compliant inheritance method."
"We are at a turning point. More and more ultra-high-net-worth customers are not only asking how to hold Bitcoin and digital assets, but are also asking how to plan around these assets and ultimately transfer wealth to the next generation."
Product Portfolio Expansion
In early 2026, the insurance company launched BTC Life 1-Pay, a single-payment lifetime life insurance policy for high-net-worth customers outside the United States. The move follows the release of the BTC 10-Pay product targeted at U.S. taxpayers. Under the BTC Life 1-Pay plan, policyholders pay a one-time Bitcoin premium and are guaranteed to receive death compensation denominated in Bitcoin for life. The policy value is accumulated in Bitcoin, and the policyholder can lend out 90% of the policy value after the first year without having to set up a repayment plan and trigger a margin call.
Such policies can be held by individuals or entities such as trusts and companies, making them ideal for estate planning and inheritance needs.
Since its launch, Meanwhile has signed 15 brokerage partnerships, serving customers in Singapore, Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates and Switzerland. Key partners include global insurance and trust group Lioner, and Apeiron Group, a market platform focusing on high net worth life insurance solutions.

Business Performance and Regulatory Status
Meanwhile said its long-term net underwriting income has exceeded last year's total and is expected to more than double in 2026, although the company did not disclose specific financial data. Stefan Cohen, partner at Bain Capital Crypto, commented that the company's growth in 2026 confirms its business model. "Meanwhile owns all the tiers of a regulated life insurance company and builds it in a way similar to the way AI-driven start-ups are. This year's growth proves the effectiveness of the model, and we are happy to support them again."
The company operates through Meanwhile Insurance Bitcoin (Bermuda) Limited, which holds the first Class IILT license issued by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. The insurance company was licensed in July 2024 after undergoing a two-year regulatory sandbox testing period.
Noun explanation:
Class IILT license: A license issued by Bermuda's insurance regulator that allows insurance companies to issue long-term insurance products denominated in digital assets such as Bitcoin.
All of Meanwhile's balance sheets, reserves and audited financial statements are denominated in Bitcoin. The company emphasizes that customer assets are kept by regulated institutional custodians to ensure safety and compliance.
