Meanwhile, a pioneering bitcoin life insurance firm, has successfully raised $37.5 million in a funding round led by Bain Capital Crypto. This latest investment elevates the company’s total funding to over $180 million, signaling robust interest in bitcoin-denominated life insurance products.
The surge in demand for crypto estate planning solutions has prompted Meanwhile to launch its latest offering, BTC Life 1-Pay, aimed at high-net-worth clients outside the U.S. This innovative policy allows clients to pay a single premium in bitcoin, securing a guaranteed lifetime death benefit also denominated in bitcoin.
To facilitate its global expansion, Meanwhile has partnered with 15 international brokers, including notable firms such as Lioner and Apeiron Group, to reach affluent families in key financial hubs across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Industry experts highlight the growing trend among wealthy individuals to incorporate digital assets into their estate planning. As these assets gain mainstream acceptance, high-net-worth clients are increasingly seeking guidance on managing and transferring their bitcoin wealth.
Under the BTC Life 1-Pay structure, policy values appreciate directly in bitcoin, providing policyholders with the flexibility to borrow against their cash value without the risk of margin calls. This feature positions Meanwhile as a versatile option for cross-border succession planning.
With its recent funding, Meanwhile aims to double its underwriting income in 2026, reflecting its commitment to serving the evolving needs of clients in the crypto space. The company operates under a Class IILT license from the Bermuda Monetary Authority, ensuring a regulated approach to its innovative insurance offerings.
