Meanwhile has announced a fundraising round at $82 million. This funding will help meet the rising demand from individuals looking to safeguard their family’s financial futures, as well as from established financial institutions aiming to offer innovative bitcoin-linked savings, retirement, and life insurance products to their customers.
The company’s innovative products combine the stability and predictable benefits of traditional life insurance and annuities with Bitcoin—an asset known for its limited supply and resistance to inflation, making it a suitable choice for preserving long-term value. Through this unique approach, Meanwhile provides policyholders around the globe with a powerful financial planning tool, helping them hedge against inflation and ensure secure wealth transfer for future generations.
The recent funding round was co-led by Haun Ventures and Bain Capital Crypto. Notable participants in the round also included Pantera Capital, Apollo, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, and Stillmark.
The backing from both crypto-focused and traditional financial institutions highlights the growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a foundational element for mainstream financial products. With this latest raise, Meanwhile has reached a total of $122 million in funding for 2025, following an earlier $40 million Series A funding round co-led by Framework Ventures and Fulgur Ventures.
Meanwhile is entering a new phase of growth characterized by several significant achievements that have notably transformed the insurance and Bitcoin capital markets. It has become the world’s first Bitcoin-denominated life insurer, allowing clients to purchase life insurance policies directly with Bitcoin. Additionally, Meanwhile has received the first long-term insurance license granted in Bermuda, setting a groundbreaking precedent in the industry.
The transparency and reliability of Meanwhile’s financial practices are underscored by its status as the first company to publish audited Bitcoin financial statements, establishing trust with its customers. Furthermore, Meanwhile offers the first Bitcoin life insurance products, a major innovation in a sector that represents roughly 3% of global GDP.
In addition to providing Bitcoin insurance products, Meanwhile has positioned itself as a leading player in the lending space. By engaging in conservative lending and private credit, the company has become one of the world’s largest long-duration Bitcoin lenders, offering loans with terms exceeding six months. This strategic focus provides clients with a way to earn Bitcoin while their assets are securely managed.
As the demand for Bitcoin-based solutions grows, it is clear that the market needs dependable and long-term financial products. Meanwhile is addressing this need by delivering bitcoin-denominated savings and protection solutions that families and institutions can trust.
The company is committed to generating sustainable yields through its conservative approach to private credit and long-term lending to high-quality counterparties.
KEY QUOTES:
“Life insurers have always provided the steady, long-term capital that keeps financial markets moving. 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. This raise lets us build on what’s working and expand it with partners around the world.”
Zac Townsend, CEO of Meanwhile
“At Haun Ventures, our thesis is that the Bitcoin economy needs more than trading platforms and DATs—it needs the core building blocks of capital markets. Just as the U.S. economy was built on insurance, pensions, and mortgages, the Bitcoin economy will require its own long-duration financial products. Meanwhile is the first mover in this category, and we believe it will unlock a new wave of innovation across Bitcoin-denominated markets. 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. “We’re excited to back the team as they scale and work with established insurers to bring bitcoin-linked savings and retirement products to market—safely, at institutional grade, and globally.”
