Meanwhile, a Sam Altman-backed insurer that offers Bitcoin life insurance, raises $37.5 million in a funding round led by Bain Capital Crypto, according to multiple outlets. The company says the investment follows growing international demand for its policies and brings total funding above $180 million, with participation from existing investors.

CoinDesk and Financial Post report that Meanwhile has expanded distribution through brokers serving high-net-worth clients across multiple regions, including Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the UAE. Financial Post frames the move as supporting the first licensed Bitcoin life insurer’s growth after a record year, while Cointelegraph highlights broader macro instability as part of the backdrop driving interest.

Across the coverage, the emphasis differs between fundraising metrics, the insurer’s international broker network, and the market context for Bitcoin-linked insurance demand, but all describe the same $37.5 million round led by Bain Capital Crypto and funded largely by existing backers.
