What happened: Bermuda-based Meanwhile, a life insurer running its balance sheet and reserves entirely on Bitcoin, secured $37.5 million in late-stage funding led by Bain Capital Crypto. The round, which values Meanwhile at approximately $350 million, saw participation from Haun Ventures, Pantera Capital, Apollo, and others. The company, which has now raised over $180 million, reported surging demand from wealthy families in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, with its single-premium whole-life product (BTC Life 1-Pay) driving growth. Net long-term underwriting income has already surpassed full-year 2025 levels and is on track to more than double in 2026.
Why it matters: Meanwhile represents a rare example of full-stack Bitcoin-native financial infrastructure, operating under Bermuda Monetary Authority oversight. Its traction among global high-net-worth clients signals growing appetite for crypto-denominated insurance and wealth protection. The raise also demonstrates continued institutional confidence in Bitcoin-backed business models, even as broader crypto markets face volatility.
