The global Bitcoin ecosystem has gained another major player.
FUTURE (Future Holdings AG), which describes itself as a “Bitcoin treasury company,” has raised CHF28 million in a new funding round backed by some of Bitcoin’s best-known institutional investors. 28 million Swiss francs is more than $34 million.
The Zurich-based company says it wants to become Europe’s leading Bitcoin treasury platform — a kind of institutional bridge connecting Bitcoin to global capital markets.
The round was backed by Fulgur Ventures, Nakamoto, and TOBAM, three companies closely associated with both traditional finance and Bitcoin investing.
Led by a large team from the worlds of venture capital, fintech, and bitcoin infrastructure, FUTURE positions itself at the crossroads of finance and sound money.
The company’s leadership includes Chairman Richard Buerth, managing partner at Syz Capital and former CEO of Diginex, and CEO Sebastian Hess, a fintech entrepreneur who previously worked with Rocket Internet and the Bitcoin mining project Block Green (backed by Peter Thiel and Coinbase).
Other founders include Mark Syz, CEO of Syz Capital; Julian Leiniger, CEO of Swiss Bitcoin Relai; and Adam Back, inventor of Hashcash and CEO of Blockstream — a name synonymous with Bitcoin’s early technical foundations.
“This round brings together leading venture investors who share our belief in Bitcoin and in the strength of the team we have built at FUTURE,” said CEO Sebastian Hess. “Their commitment reflects confidence in our execution and vision to build Europe’s leading Bitcoin treasury – a trusted institutional gateway that connects Bitcoin to global capital through financial discipline, technology and transparent governance.”
Buerth added that Switzerland’s macro backdrop – with a 0% base rate and negative-yielding government bonds – gives the company a strategic advantage.
“The level of investors in this round, and the strong interest we have seen in a challenging environment, highlights the demand for a Swiss Bitcoin treasury company,” he said.
FUTURE’s model is built around a Bitcoin-heavy balance sheet that forms the foundation of its business. The company’s integrated approach brings together four key segments: Bitcoin treasury operations, institutional research and analytics, infrastructure and custody solutions, and advisory services – including upcoming ones.

“Switzerland has a long tradition of financial innovation and trust,” said Vice Chairman Mark Siese. “It is time for the country to continue on this path and lead Bitcoin by building an institutional infrastructure that meets the highest global standards.”
