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 firm aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and bitcoin through a balance-sheet driven 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, seen as the precursor to Bitcoin’s proof-of-work consensus mechanism.
The company’s integrated operations span bitcoin treasury management, institutional research, secure infrastructure and advisory services.
FUTURE seeks to position itself as Europe’s leading bitcoin treasury company, offering transparent, disciplined access to BTC for global institutions. Byworth highlighted Switzerland’s financial strength and investor confidence as key indicators of growing demand for institutional-grade Bitcoin solutions in Europe.
“Our strategic positioning in one of Europe’s most important financial centers, with a base rate of 0% and 0.12% yield on ten-year bonds, combined with a team of Bitcoiners boasting strong financial pedigrees, creates a significant opportunity for a bitcoin tax company,” Byworth said.
