Meanwhile Raises $82M to Expand Bitcoin-Denominated Life Insurance Globally

Meanwhile, the world's first regulated life insurance company fully denominated in Bitcoin, has raised $82 million in new capital to expand its Bitcoin-based savings, life insurance, annuities, and retirement products designed to protect policyholders from inflation and currency devaluation. The funding round was co-led by Bain Capital Crypto and Haun Ventures, with participation from Pantera Capital, Apollo, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, and Stillmark, bringing Meanwhile's total funding in 2025 to $122 million. Licensed by the Bermuda Monetary Authority, Meanwhile combines traditional insurance structures with Bitcoin as a reserve asset, generating sustainable yield through conservative private credit and long-term BTC lending while maintaining solvency standards comparable to traditional insurers. The company's Bitcoin assets under management have surged over 200% in 2025, reflecting growing confidence in BTC as a long-term store of value and increasing demand from both individuals and institutions for Bitcoin-denominated financial products. Investors and company leadership emphasize Meanwhile's role in building foundational infrastructure for the Bitcoin economy, akin to how insurance and pensions underpin legacy financial markets, unlocking innovation in Bitcoin-linked savings and retirement solutions. This development highlights Bitcoin’s growing acceptance as a base asset for regulated financial products and its integration into mainstream financial infrastructure.
