They also agree that this brings the company's total funding above $180 million.

Meanwhile, a Bermuda-based life insurance company that operates entirely on 
Bitcoin, has successfully raised $37.5 million in a funding round led by Bain Capital Crypto. This investment comes after a record year for the company, driven by strong demand from wealthy families in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
The funding round, which was reported by multiple outlets, will support Meanwhile's international expansion efforts. The company has been gaining traction among high-net-worth individuals, as evidenced by its partnerships with 15 brokerage firms that cater to affluent clients in key markets such as Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the UAE.
While most outlets agree on the $37.5 million figure and the involvement of Bain Capital Crypto, Cointelegraph highlights that the funding round was influenced by broader macroeconomic instability, which has increased demand for Bitcoin-denominated insurance products. CoinDesk, on the other hand, emphasizes the company's strategic focus on expanding its brokerage network to better serve its target clientele.
Meanwhile's business model, which relies entirely on Bitcoin, positions it as a unique player in the insurance industry. The company's ability to attract significant investment despite the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market underscores the growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a legitimate financial instrument.
