[PRESS RELEASE – Zug, Switzerland, May 12th, 2026]
Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd., part of the Bitcoin Suisse Group, has been granted a Class F license under Bermuda’s Digital Asset Business Act and Class B registration under the Investment Business Act by the Bermuda Monetary Authority, authorising regulated digital asset management and investment advisory services for professional and institutional clients.
The Bitcoin Suisse Group today announced that its affiliate, Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd., has received a Class F digital asset business license under Bermuda’s Digital Asset Business Act and Class B registration under the Investment Business Act 2003 from the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA). The approvals are granted on a pre‑operational basis, subject to customary conditions being satisfied before the firm commences regulated digital asset management and investment advisory services for professional and institutional clients.
The BMA’s approvals represent a key milestone in Bitcoin Suisse’s international expansion. Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd. now has a regulatory foundation to deliver investment advisory and asset management services to professional and institutional clients outside Switzerland through a dedicated Bermuda entity.
“Institutional investors increasingly regard digital assets as a permanent part of their portfolios. They need partners that combine deep crypto-native expertise with the governance and regulatory standards expected from traditional financial services. The BMA approvals are an important step in Bitcoin Suisse’s evolution into a global wealth management platform and enable us to serve clients internationally.” – Andrej Majcen, Co‑Founder and Group CEO of Bitcoin Suisse.
Regulated Investment Advisory and Asset Management
Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd. is domiciled in Hamilton, Bermuda, and is wholly owned by BTCS Holding Ltd., the group’s holding company. The DABA license permits the provision of regulated digital asset business services, while the IBA registration authorises investment advisory and discretionary portfolio management activities. The Bermuda entity will serve professional and institutional clients with services that include investment advisory, discretionary portfolio management mandates, and proprietary investment strategies. Mandates may be funded in Bitcoin, stablecoins, or fiat currency.
The entity will operate on a non‑custodial basis and will rely on regulated custodial providers and partner banks to deliver institutional‑grade security. Investment decisions will be supported by an experienced Chief Investment Office and a dedicated research function, leveraging Bitcoin Suisse’s proprietary Crypto Analysis Framework and its Global Crypto Taxonomy — a classification covering roughly 600 digital assets across six sectors, developed through more than a decade of crypto-native research.
Bermuda: A Leading Jurisdiction for Regulated Digital Asset Services
Bermuda is recognised as one of the world’s leading jurisdictions for digital asset services, having introduced the Digital Asset Business Act in 2018 as one of the first comprehensive regulatory frameworks of its kind. The issuance of both a DABA license and an IBA registration to Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd. reflects the group’s compliance capabilities, governance standards, and operational maturity.
Part of a Broader Global Regulatory Rollout
The Bermuda presence complements Bitcoin Suisse’s broader international footprint. The group also holds an In‑Principle Approval (IPA) from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), demonstrating its commitment to serving clients in the Middle East within a regulated framework. These milestones underline Bitcoin Suisse’s ambition to bring its crypto-native expertise to professional and institutional clients across multiple jurisdictions, including (U)HNWIs, family offices, external asset managers, and corporate counterparties.
