Zurich-based Future Holdings AG raises 28 million Swiss francs to merge institutional finance with Bitcoin, led by industry veterans including Adam Back and Richard Byworth.
FUTURE Raises 28M CHF to Expand Bitcoin Treasury Model
Future Holdings AG (FUTURE), a Switzerland-based Bitcoin treasury and infrastructure company, has raised 28 million Swiss francs (approximately $35 million) in fresh funding to accelerate its mission of bridging traditional finance (TradFi) with Bitcoin’s decentralized economy. The round was backed by Fulgur Ventures, Nakamoto, and TOBAM, positioning FUTURE as a growing force in Europe’s institutional Bitcoin landscape.
The firm is spearheaded by Chairman Richard Byworth (of Syz Capital) and CEO Sebastien Hess, alongside cryptography pioneer Adam Back, the creator of Hashcash — the technology that inspired Bitcoin’s proof-of-work consensus.
Bridging Institutions and Bitcoin
FUTURE’s business model revolves around balance-sheet-driven Bitcoin treasury operations, secure infrastructure, and institutional advisory services. The company plans to host the Future Bitcoin Forum 2026 in Switzerland, underscoring its ambition to become Europe’s central hub for institutional Bitcoin engagement.
“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 boasting strong financial pedigrees, creates a significant opportunity set for a Bitcoin treasury company,” said Byworth.
The firm’s leadership also includes Marc Syz and Julian Liniger, both known for their work in fintech and digital asset management, reinforcing the company’s commitment to institutional-grade transparency and discipline.
Institutional Confidence Grows in Swiss Bitcoin Ecosystem
Analysts say FUTURE’s funding success highlights Europe’s growing appetite for Bitcoin as a treasury and reserve asset, especially in low-yield environments like Switzerland.
“We’re witnessing a transition where institutions want exposure to Bitcoin not as speculation, but as a balance-sheet asset with long-term monetary resilience,” noted a Zurich-based digital asset strategist.
With Switzerland’s financial stability, regulatory clarity, and an emerging network of Bitcoin-native firms, FUTURE’s 28M CHF funding marks a pivotal step toward integrating digital sound money into global institutional finance.
