Zac Townsend is CEO and Co-Founder of Meanwhile, the first life insurance provider denominated and operating in Bitcoin. Life Insurance serves a critical role in developed economies, and Meanwhile is building a defining financial institution for the global Bitcoin economy.

Why you should listen

Meanwhile is the world’s first fully Bitcoin‑denominated life insurance company, licensed and regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. Operating out of Hamilton, Bermuda, it offers Bitcoin Whole Life policies that allow users to pay premiums in BTC, accumulate savings denominated in Bitcoin, and carry out legacy planning—all without exposure to fiat currency volatility. Meanwhile’s regulatory status as a Class IILT insurer—stemming from its graduation from Bermuda’s innovation sandbox in July 2024—gives it unique legitimacy as a crypto-native institution working within a fully regulated financial framework.

In June 2025, Meanwhile made history by publishing its first-ever audited financial statements fully denominated in Bitcoin. As of December 31, 2024, the company held approximately 220.4 BTC in assets and generated net income of 25.29 BTC—a 300 % year‑on‑year increase. Meanwhile is not only the first life insurer to report in Bitcoin, but is also prohibited from liquidating its BTC holdings except when policyholders redeem under strict regulatory rules—making the company’s BTC reserve inherently long‑held and less subject to market speculation.

Meanwhile sells its policies directly via its website, meanwhile.bm, and offers personalized consultations to prospective clients. Positioned at the intersection of insurance and decentralized finance, it offers high‑net‑worth and crypto‑savvy individuals a novel way to secure, grow, and pass down wealth using Bitcoin.
