Swiss Bitcoin treasury firm FUTURE (Future Holdings AG) has raised CHF 28 million (approximately $35 million) in a new funding round. The company, backed by Adam Back, the creator of Hashcash and CEO of Blockstream, plans to use the funds to expand its Bitcoin-focused balance sheet model, strengthening its position as Europe's premier Bitcoin treasury company.
The funding round attracted major institutional and crypto-native investors, including Fulgur Ventures, Nakamoto, and TOBAM. FUTURE aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and Bitcoin through structured capital management, disciplined execution, and transparent governance.
FUTURE's vision is to become Europe's leading Bitcoin Treasury Company (BTCTC), operating with a business model centered on accumulating, managing, and securing Bitcoin as its core balance sheet asset. The leadership team includes Chairman Richard Byworth, CEO Sebastien Hess, Marc Syz (CEO of Syz Capital), Julian Liniger (CEO of Relai), and Adam Back as co-founder and strategic advisor.
CEO Sebastien Hess described the funding as "a reflection of investor confidence" in FUTURE's strategy and leadership, adding that the company's mission is to build "Europe's premier Bitcoin Treasury Company," serving as a trusted institutional gateway connecting Bitcoin with global capital.
The firm's model is deeply institutional, integrating key verticals such as Treasury Operations for Bitcoin accumulation and management, Research & Analytics for proprietary insights, and Infrastructure & Platform for secure and compliant solutions. FUTURE also offers advisory services and promotes education through events like the Future Bitcoin Forum 2026 in Switzerland.
Vice-Chairman Marc Syz highlighted Switzerland's strength as a financial hub, stating, "It's time for Switzerland to lead in Bitcoin by building institutional infrastructure that meets global standards." Chairman Richard Byworth noted the strong investor demand despite market challenges, emphasizing the quality of the team and the opportunity for a Swiss Bitcoin Treasury Company.
Switzerland's stable environment, with a 0% base rate and 0.12% yield on ten-year bonds, provides a favorable setting for treasury operations. FUTURE aims to redefine how traditional capital connects with digital assets, positioning itself as a pioneer in institutional Bitcoin integration.
