Meanwhile announced today a successful capital raise of $82 million. This funding will enable the company to meet the increasing demand from individuals aiming to protect their families’ financial future and from established financial institutions looking to offer Bitcoin-linked savings, retirement, and life insurance options to their clientele.
Meanwhile’s innovative approach combines the safety and predictable benefits of conventional life insurance and annuity products with Bitcoin – a limited-supply, inflation-resistant asset designed to preserve value over the long term. This strategy equips policyholders across the globe with a powerful mechanism for long-term financial planning, guarding against inflation, and ensuring secure wealth transfer.
The funding round saw co-leadership from Haun Ventures and Bain Capital Crypto, alongside strong contributions from Pantera Capital, Apollo, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, and Stillmark. The involvement of both cryptocurrency-focused and traditional financial entities underscores the growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a solid foundation for mainstream financial products. This recent raise brings Meanwhile’s total funding for 2025 to $122 million, building on a $40 million Series A round earlier in the year co-led by Framework Ventures and Fulgur Ventures.
Meanwhile enters its next phase built on groundbreaking advancements that have redefined the insurance and Bitcoin capital markets:
- Pioneer of Bitcoin-Denominated Life Insurance: The first life insurance provider globally to offer policies denominated entirely in Bitcoin.
- Bermuda’s First Long-Term Insurance License: Secured the first long-term insurance license granted in Bermuda, establishing a global precedent.
- First Audited Bitcoin Financial Statements: Achieved the first audited financial statements based on Bitcoin, bolstering trust and transparency.
- Innovative Bitcoin Life Insurance Products: Introduced the first life insurance products utilizing Bitcoin, transforming a sector representing approximately 3% of global GDP.
- Bitcoin Earnings through Prudent Lending: Generates Bitcoin income through conservative lending and private credit activities, making Meanwhile a prominent long-duration BTC lender (terms exceeding six months).
“Life insurance companies have historically played a crucial role in providing the consistent, long-term capital that fuels financial markets,” stated Zac Townsend, CEO of Meanwhile. “We are bringing that same stability to Bitcoin—empowering families to save and protect their wealth in BTC, while offering institutions new avenues to earn returns and launch compliant, scalable Bitcoin-indexed products. This new funding enables us to expand on our successes and collaborate with partners worldwide.”
Bitcoin’s growth requires more than just short-term speculation. It necessitates reliable, long-term solutions supported by tangible economic activities. Meanwhile provides dependable Bitcoin-denominated savings and protection options for families and institutions. Simultaneously, it generates sustainable yield through conservative private credit and long-term lending to highly reputable counterparties. Built on a foundation of trust, Meanwhile operates as a licensed and prudentially regulated carrier, adhering to solvency and reserve standards that match the world’s most established insurers.
“Our investment thesis at Haun Ventures is that the Bitcoin ecosystem needs more than just trading platforms and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) – it requires the fundamental building blocks of capital markets. Just as the U.S. economy was built on insurance, pensions, and mortgages, the Bitcoin economy will need its own long-duration financial instruments. Meanwhile is leading the way in this emerging sector, and we believe they will unlock a new wave of innovation across Bitcoin-denominated markets,” commented Chris Ahn, Partner at Haun Ventures.
“Meanwhile is creating accessible, compliant, and durable products that make Bitcoin practical for individuals and institutions alike,” stated Stefan Cohen, Partner at Bain Capital Crypto. “We are thrilled to support the team as they scale and collaborate with established insurers to bring Bitcoin-linked savings and retirement solutions to market – safely, with institutional-grade rigor, and on a global scale.”
