The international Bitcoin ecosystem has welcomed a significant new player.
FUTURE (Future Holdings AG), a company that identifies itself as a “Bitcoin Treasury Company,” has successfully raised CHF 28 million (over $34 million) in a recent funding round, backed by prominent institutional investors within the Bitcoin space.
Headquartered in Zurich, the firm aspires to establish itself as Europe’s leading Bitcoin treasury platform, acting as a conduit between Bitcoin and global capital markets.
This funding round was primarily supported by Fulgur Ventures, Nakamoto, and TOBAM, all firms well-established in both traditional finance and Bitcoin investments.
With a robust leadership team hailing from the realms of venture capital, fintech, and Bitcoin infrastructure, FUTURE is positioning itself at the intersection of finance and sound monetary principles.
The leadership team includes Chairman Richard Byworth, who serves as Managing Partner at Syz Capital and has previously held the CEO position at Diginex, alongside CEO Sebastien Hess, a fintech entrepreneur with experience from Rocket Internet and the Bitcoin mining venture Block Green, which is backed by Peter Thiel and Coinbase.
Other notable co-founders include Marc Syz, CEO at Syz Capital; Julian Liniger, CEO of the Swiss Bitcoin app Relai; and Adam Back, the inventor of Hashcash and CEO of Blockstream—a figure synonymous with the early technical development of Bitcoin.
CEO Sebastien Hess remarked, “This funding round unites leading venture investors who align with our conviction in Bitcoin and confidence in the team we’ve established at FUTURE. Their commitment signifies trust in our ability to execute our vision of creating Europe’s premier Bitcoin treasury company—an institutional gateway that integrates Bitcoin with global capital through financial discipline, advanced technology, and transparent governance.”
Byworth further noted that Switzerland’s macroeconomic environment, characterized by a 0% base rate and negative-yielding government bonds, provides the company with a strategic advantage.
“The caliber of investors joining this round, alongside the considerable interest we have garnered in a challenging market, underscores the demand for a Swiss Bitcoin Treasury Company,” he commented.
FUTURE’s operational framework is founded on a Bitcoin-centric balance sheet, which serves as the cornerstone of its business. The firm’s comprehensive strategy encompasses four essential verticals: Bitcoin treasury operations, institutional research and analytics, infrastructure and custody solutions, and advisory services, including the forthcoming Future Bitcoin Forum 2026 in Switzerland.
Marc Syz, Vice-Chairman, stated, “Switzerland has a longstanding reputation for financial innovation and reliability. It is crucial for the country to maintain this trajectory and take a leadership role in Bitcoin by developing institutional infrastructure that adheres to the highest global standards.”
