Meanwhile today announced it has raised an additional $82 million to meet the rapidly growing demand from individuals seeking to protect their families, and from established financial institutions aiming to offer Bitcoin-linked savings, retirement, and life insurance products to their clients.
Meanwhile’s innovative offerings combine the safety and predictable returns of traditional life insurance and annuities with Bitcoin—a scarce, inflation-resistant asset designed for long-term value preservation. This solution provides global policyholders with a powerful tool for long-term financial planning, inflation hedging, and secure wealth transfer.
The financing, supported by both crypto-native and traditional financial institutions, signals Bitcoin's increasing acceptance as a foundation for mainstream financial products. This round brings Meanwhile’s total funding to $122 million in 2025, following its $40 million Series A round earlier this year led by Framework Ventures and Fulgur Ventures.
Meanwhile enters its next phase, built on a series of breakthroughs reshaping insurance and Bitcoin capital markets:
-
The world’s first life insurer offering policies denominated in Bitcoin.
-
First long-term insurance license granted in Bermuda, setting a global precedent.
-
First audited Bitcoin financial statements, establishing trust and transparency.
-
Launch of the first Bitcoin life insurance products, transforming an industry representing approximately 3% of global GDP.
-
Earning Bitcoin through prudent lending and private credit, making Meanwhile one of the largest long-duration Bitcoin lenders globally (with maturities exceeding six months).
"Life insurers have long provided the stable, long-term capital that keeps financial markets functioning," said Zac Townsend, CEO of Meanwhile. "We are bringing that role into Bitcoin—helping families save and protect wealth in BTC, while creating new yield opportunities for institutions and launching compliant, scalable Bitcoin-indexed products. This funding allows us to build further on our proven model and expand with global partners."
Bitcoin needs more than short-term speculation—it needs reliable, long-duration solutions underpinned by real economic activity. Meanwhile provides Bitcoin-denominated savings and protection that families and institutions can rely on, while generating sustainable yields through prudent private credit and long-term lending to high-quality counterparties. From day one, Meanwhile has operated as a licensed, prudentially regulated insurance vehicle built on trust, meeting solvency and reserve standards equivalent to those of the world’s most mature insurers.
"At Haun Ventures, our thesis is that the Bitcoin economy needs more than just exchanges and DApps—it needs core capital market infrastructure. Just as the U.S. economy is built on insurance, pensions, and mortgages, the Bitcoin economy needs its own long-duration financial products. Meanwhile is pioneering this category, and we believe it will unlock a new wave of innovation in Bitcoin-denominated markets," said Chris Ahn, Partner at Haun Ventures.
"Meanwhile is building simple, compliant, and durable products that make Bitcoin truly useful for individuals and institutions alike," said Stefan Cohen, Partner at Bain Capital Crypto. "We’re excited to support the team as they scale and partner with established insurers to bring Bitcoin-linked savings and retirement products to market—with institutional-grade security and global reach."
