Switzerland-based Bitcoin custody and treasury firm Future Holdings has secured 28 million Swiss francs (around $34.5 million) in a strategic funding round led by Fulgur Ventures, Nakamoto, and Tobam, the company announced Tuesday.
Describing itself as Switzerland’s leading Bitcoin treasury company, Future Holdings plans to offer multisignature custody solutions, treasury management tools, and advisory services for firms aiming to hold Bitcoin (BTC) on their corporate balance sheets.
The company said it integrates treasury operations, research, and wallet infrastructure to help institutions manage Bitcoin exposure while maintaining compliance with traditional corporate frameworks.

“This round unites top venture investors who share our conviction in Bitcoin and trust in our team’s vision. Their support strengthens our mission to build Europe’s top Bitcoin treasury company.”
Sebastien Hess, CEO of Future Holdings.
Future Combines Traditional Finance Expertise with Bitcoin Innovation
Future Holdings brings together leaders from both traditional finance and the Bitcoin ecosystem. The company’s co-founders include Marc Syz, CEO of Syz Capital; Julian Liniger, CEO of Swiss Bitcoin investment app Relai; and Adam Back, inventor of Hashcash and CEO of Blockstream.
Its leadership team reflects this dual strength. Chairman Richard Byworth, managing partner at Switzerland’s Syz Capital, comes from a strong finance background, while CEO Sebastien Hess is a fintech and Bitcoin entrepreneur who previously worked at Block Green, a project supported by Peter Thiel and Coinbase.
Future’s investors also add credibility. Fulgur Ventures is known for its early-stage Bitcoin infrastructure investments, while Tobam manages the Bitcoin Treasury Opportunities Fund, which focuses on corporate Bitcoin adoption.
Switzerland Strengthens Its Institutional Bitcoin Landscape
Future Holdings is joining Switzerland’s growing ecosystem of institutional Bitcoin service providers. Firms such as Bitcoin Suisse and Sygnum Bank are already offering Bitcoin-related services to asset managers, foundations, and Web3 companies.
The company’s launch comes as Europe moves toward greater regulatory clarity. Many Switzerland-based firms have begun securing Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) licenses, paving the way for compliant growth across the region.
On October 24, Relai, co-founded by Future’s Julian Liniger, became one of the first Bitcoin-only platforms to receive MiCA authorization from France’s Autorité des Marchés Financiers. This approval enables Relai to expand its regulated Bitcoin buying, saving, and selling services throughout the European Union.
