It earns Bitcoin through conservative long-duration lending and private credit, positioning it as one of the largest BTC lenders with terms over six months, and has produced the first audited Bitcoin financial statements. The company addresses surging demand for Bitcoin-linked corporate treasury, retirement, and family protection products amid Bitcoin's rising acceptance as a store of value. On October 7, 2025, Meanwhile raised $82 million in a funding round co-led by Bain Capital Crypto and Haun Ventures, with participation from Pantera Capital, Apollo, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, Fulgur Ventures, and Stillmark. This round brings the company's total funding in 2025 to $122 million, following a prior $40 million Series A co-led by Framework Ventures and Fulgur Ventures. The capital will accelerate global expansion through institutional partners, enhancing access to BTC-denominated products while maintaining regulatory compliance. Meanwhile reports over 200% growth in Bitcoin assets under management (AUM), driven by demand from individuals protecting family wealth and financial institutions launching compliant Bitcoin-indexed offerings. It has pioneered breakthroughs including the first long-term insurance license in Bermuda, first Bitcoin life insurance products, and integration of insurance capital into Bitcoin markets, which represent a sector tied to ~3% of global GDP. The backing from both crypto-native and traditional finance investors underscores Bitcoin's maturation as a foundation for mainstream financial products.

Policyholders pay premiums in Bitcoin, and claims are paid in Bitcoin, with the firm earning yields through conservative long-duration BTC lending and private credit. The company holds the first long-term insurance license in Bermuda for such products, first audited Bitcoin financial statements, and serves clients in countries including the US, UK, and Canada via its Bermuda subsidiary. On April 10, 2025, Meanwhile closed a $40 million Series A round co-led by Framework Ventures and Fulgur Ventures, with participation from Wences Casares of Xapo, valuing the company at $190 million post-money—nearly double its 2022 valuation. This marked Framework Ventures' largest equity investment to date. Funds are earmarked for global expansion, regulatory compliance, and product development, including a planned Bitcoin annuity launch later in 2025. Meanwhile had 10 employees at the time and built all its technology in-house. The Series A brought Meanwhile's 2025 funding to $40 million initially, followed later in the year by an $82 million round co-led by Haun Ventures and Bain Capital Crypto, with Pantera Capital, Apollo, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, and Stillmark, lifting total 2025 capital to $122 million. This subsequent financing supports surging demand, with Bitcoin AUM growth over 200%, and underscores Bitcoin's integration into mainstream financial products like insurance, which represents ~3% of global GDP. Meanwhile follows a prior $20.5 million raise in 2022 led by Sam Altman and Lachy Groom.
Jun 2023SeedLachy Groom (lead); Sam Altman (lead)$19M$100MMeanwhile is a Bermuda-based life insurance company offering Bitcoin-denominated whole life insurance policies to cryptocurrency holders. The company combines artificial intelligence with digital assets to streamline underwriting, claims processing, and operations, aiming to modernize life insurance by reducing manual processes that typically take weeks. Customers pay monthly premiums in Bitcoin and receive payouts in Bitcoin, with Meanwhile generating revenue by lending a portion of collected premiums and charging interest on those loans. In June 2023, Meanwhile announced $19 million in seed funding across two rounds, with the first round co-led by Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) and Lachy Groom (former head of Stripe Issuing), and a second round led by Gradient Ventures (Google's venture capital fund). The funding valued the company at $100 million post-money. Additional investors included Mouro Capital, MS&AD, Hudson Structured Capital Management, and angel investors such as Parker Conrad, Dylan Field, Nick Schrock, and partners from Founders Fund and General Catalyst. The capital enabled Meanwhile to secure licensing and regulatory approval from the Bermuda Monetary Authority and hire its initial team of seven employees to launch its first product.
