Global Ambition Unlocked: Bitcoin Suisse Secures Bermuda Approvals for Digital Asset Surge

Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd., an affiliate of the Switzerland-based Bitcoin Suisse Group, has secured significant dual regulatory approvals from the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA). This landmark achievement involves a Class F license under Bermuda's Digital Asset Business Act (DABA) and a Class B registration under the Investment Business Act 2003. These approvals, granted on a pre-operational basis, empower Bitcoin Suisse to offer regulated digital asset management and investment advisory services to its professional and institutional clientele.

The newly approved entity is domiciled in Hamilton, Bermuda, operating as a subsidiary of BTCS Holding Ltd., the group’s parent holding company. The DABA license specifically covers the provision of regulated digital asset business services, while the IBA registration permits the delivery of investment advisory and discretionary portfolio management. Clients will have the flexibility to fund their mandates using Bitcoin, stablecoins, or traditional fiat currency. Notably, the entity operates on a non-custodial basis, ensuring institutional-grade security by leveraging regulated custodial providers and partner banks.

Andrej Majcen, Co-Founder and Group CEO of Bitcoin Suisse, highlighted the importance of these approvals, framing them as a pivotal moment for the firm's global expansion strategy. Majcen emphasized that institutional investors are increasingly recognizing digital assets as a permanent component of their portfolios, and they require partners who can seamlessly blend deep crypto-native expertise with the stringent governance and regulatory standards expected from traditional financial services providers. He stated that the BMA approvals represent a crucial step in Bitcoin Suisse’s evolution towards becoming a comprehensive global wealth management platform.

The investment decisions made under these new authorizations will be informed by Bitcoin Suisse’s proprietary Crypto Analysis Framework and its Global Crypto Taxonomy. This advanced classification system, developed over more than a decade of research, encompasses approximately 600 digital assets across six distinct sectors. All client mandates will be rigorously supported by an experienced Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Office and a dedicated research function, ensuring informed and strategic asset management.

Bermuda has proactively established itself as a premier global hub for digital asset regulation since the introduction of its Digital Asset Business Act in 2018, which was one of the world's first comprehensive frameworks of its kind. The jurisdiction’s robust regulatory architecture has successfully attracted numerous crypto-native firms seeking institutional credibility and broader offshore reach. These recent Bermuda approvals build upon Bitcoin Suisse’s existing international footprint, which includes an In-Principle Approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), thereby establishing a regulated presence in the Middle East. Collectively, these two strategic jurisdictions form the bedrock of a multi-region expansion strategy, specifically targeting ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, external asset managers, and corporate counterparties worldwide.
