TREE NEWS update: A Bermuda-based life insurer that runs entirely on Bitcoin has raised $37.5 million, the company said. The round was led by existing backer Bain Capital Crypto, alongside other existing investors. The insurer, which counts Sam Altman among its backers, said it drew the funding after a record year driven by demand from wealthy families in Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

The notable detail is the investor mix: existing backers led the round rather than new capital, and the demand cited comes from wealthy families rather than institutions. That points to a niche wealth-preservation use case for Bitcoin — insurance-style products with a fiat-denominated policy wrapper — rather than a broad crypto-credit recovery. Whether that family-office demand broadens beyond a few regions, and whether a Bitcoin-denominated balance sheet draws regulatory attention in Bermuda or elsewhere, is the open question.
