Future Holdings AG (FUTURE), a Zurich-based bitcoin treasury company, said it raised 28 million Swiss francs ($35 million) in a funding round led by Fulgur Ventures, Nakamoto and TOBAM.
The company aims to unite traditional finance (TradFi) and bitcoin through a balance sheet-based institutional model. FUTURE is led by Chairman Richard Byworth of Syz Capital and CEO Sebastien Hess, a fintech and Bitcoin entrepreneur.
Its leadership also includes prominent figures such as Marc Syz, Julian Liniger and Adam Back, the cryptography pioneer and creator of Hashcash, considered the precursor to Bitcoin’s proof-of-work consensus mechanism.
The company’s integrated operations encompass bitcoin treasury management, institutional research, secure infrastructure, and advisory services.
FUTURE seeks to position itself as Europe’s leading bitcoin treasury company, offering transparent and disciplined access to BTC for global institutions. Byworth highlighted Switzerland’s financial strength and investor confidence as key indicators of the growing demand for institutional-grade Bitcoin solutions in Europe.
“Our strategic positioning in one of Europe’s key financial centers, with a 0% base rate and 0.12% yield on ten-year bonds, combined with a team of Bitcoiners who have a strong financial pedigree, creates a significant opportunity set for a bitcoin treasury company,” Byworth said.
