The raise marks one of the largest treasury-focused Bitcoin funding rounds in Europe this year, with participation from leading investors bridging traditional finance and crypto. FUTURE aims to serve as Europe’s premier Bitcoin Treasury Company, connecting global capital markets with Bitcoin through transparent governance and disciplined financial management.
Institutional gateway for Bitcoin finance
Founded by a team of veterans from finance and crypto, FUTURE’s leadership includes Chairman Richard Byworth (Syz Capital), CEO Sebastien Hess, and co-founders Marc Syz, Julian Liniger (Relai), and Adam Back, the inventor of Hashcash and CEO of Blockstream. The company plans to expand its institutional platform, offering services that integrate treasury operations, custody, and infrastructure for corporate and financial clients seeking exposure to Bitcoin.
According to CEO Sebastien Hess, the funding round validates FUTURE’s vision to “build Europe’s premier Bitcoin treasury company — a trusted institutional gateway connecting Bitcoin with global capital.” Chairman Richard Byworth added that Switzerland’s favourable financial environment and stable regulatory framework make it an ideal base for institutional Bitcoin innovation.
Building a balance-sheet-driven Bitcoin platform
FUTURE’s business model is centred on a Bitcoin-denominated balance sheet that underpins all operations. The firm will provide treasury management, research and analytics, and advisory services tailored to institutional investors. Additionally, FUTURE will host the Future Bitcoin Forum 2026 in Switzerland to advance collaboration and education in institutional Bitcoin adoption.
The funding underscores growing confidence in Switzerland’s role as a bridge between traditional finance and digital assets , positioning FUTURE to become a leading player in Bitcoin-based corporate treasury solutions.
This significant raise by FUTURE comes as institutional adoption accelerates, evidenced by a parallel development where Jiuzi Holdings, Inc. announced a $1 billion Bitcoin treasury initiative in partnership with the SOLV Foundation, marking a landmark moment in the convergence of traditional finance ( TradFi ) and DeFi.
