Meanwhile

Magnolia Towers, 2nd Floor, No. 15 Parliament Street, Hamilton, HM 12, Bermuda

Overview

Meanwhile operates as the world’s first fully Bitcoin-denominated life insurer, regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. Its core products package traditional life insurance, annuities and savings vehicles with Bitcoin, positioning BTC as a long-term store of value for policyholders. The company serves both retail families and institutional partners that want to launch compliant, bitcoin-linked savings, retirement and corporate treasury products. Meanwhile generates yield by conservatively lending Bitcoin and providing private credit, making it one of the largest long-duration BTC lenders with terms over six months. Demand has driven the firm’s Bitcoin assets under management to grow more than 200%. Future plans center on expanding global distribution through established insurers and other institutional channels while continuing to build “long-duration” financial building blocks for the broader Bitcoin economy. To date, the company has raised $122 million in 2025 to fund these initiatives.
