TREE NEWS reports: Shanghai-based InsurTech firm Zhibao has completed a $154.7 million private placement funded entirely in Bitcoin, adding 2,380 BTC to its treasury. The move signals a strategic shift toward crypto as a reserve asset for the insurance technology sector.
Zhibao Adds 2,380 BTC in $154.7M Treasury Pivot
The notable detail is the structure, not the size: a private placement settled entirely in Bitcoin, rather than cash converted afterward, turns the raise itself into a treasury allocation. That matters most for a Shanghai-based InsurTech, where crypto reserve treatment sits in a different regulatory context than for U.S.-listed peers, and it broadens the set of non-crypto balance sheets willing to hold BTC directly. Whether insurers and other regulated financial firms follow, or whether this remains an isolated balance-sheet experiment, is the open question.
