Meanwhile, a bitcoin life insurer regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority, has successfully raised $82 million in new capital to meet strong demand for inflation-proof savings and retirement products.
The funding will help accelerate global access to BTC-denominated life insurance, annuities, savings and insurance bonds through institutional partners, protecting policyholders worldwide from inflation and currency risk.
“Life insurers have always provided the steady, long-term capital that keeps financial markets moving,” said Zac Townsend, CEO of Meanwhile. “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.”
Meanwhile’s innovative products combine the security and predictable benefits of traditional life insurance and annuities with Bitcoin, a scarce, inflation-resistant asset.
As a licensed and regulated carrier, Meanwhile adheres to the same solvency and reserve as leading reinsurers, the firm claims.
This new capital brings Meanwhile’s total funding in 2025 to $122 million, following a $40 million Series A earlier this year co-led by Framework Ventures and Fulgur Ventures.
“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,” said Chris Ahn, Partner at Haun Ventures.
“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.”
