Bitcoin Suisse Receives Class F Digital Asset License and Class B Investment Business Registration from the Bermuda Monetary Authority
Approval positions Bitcoin Suisse to deliver regulated digital asset management and investment advisory services to professional and institutional clients beyond Switzerland
The Bitcoin Suisse Group today announced that its affiliate, Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd., has been granted a Class F license under Bermuda’s Digital Asset Business Act and Class B registration under the Investment Business Act 2003 by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA). The approvals authorize the entity to provide regulated digital asset management and investment advisory services to professional and institutional clients.
The approval has been issued on a pre-operational basis, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions ahead of the commencement of regulated activities.
 
This milestone represents a significant step in Bitcoin Suisse’s international expansion strategy. With the BMA’s authorisation, Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd. now has the regulatory foundation to extend the Group’s investment advisory and asset management capabilities to professional and institutional clients outside Switzerland through a dedicated, purpose-built entity.
“Institutional investors increasingly recognize digital assets as a permanent part of their portfolios. What they need is a partner who combines deep crypto-native expertise with the governance and regulatory standards they expect from traditional financial services. The BMA approvals mark an important step in Bitcoin Suisse’s transition towards a global wealth management platform and allow us to be exactly that partner for 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 entity. The Class F DABA license authorizes the provision of regulated digital asset business services, while the Class B IBA registration authorizes the entity to offer investment advisory and discretionary portfolio management services.
The entity will serve professional and institutional clients with a comprehensive suite of services, including investment advisory, discretionary portfolio management mandates, and proprietary investment strategies. Clients have the flexibility to fund mandates in Bitcoin, stablecoins, or fiat currency.
Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd. operates on a non-custodial basis, partnering with regulated custodians and banking partners to deliver institutional-grade security. All investment decisions are underpinned by an experienced CIO Office and a dedicated research function, drawing on Bitcoin Suisse’s proprietary Crypto Analysis Framework and its Global Crypto Taxonomy — a classification system covering approximately 600 digital assets across six sectors, developed over more than a decade of crypto-native research.
Bermuda: A Premier Jurisdiction for Regulated Digital Asset Services
Bermuda has firmly established itself as one of the world’s leading jurisdictions for digital assets, having introduced the Digital Asset Business Act in 2018 as one of the first comprehensive regulatory frameworks of its kind. The granting of both a DABA license and an IBA registration to Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd. reflects the Group’s robust compliance infrastructure, governance standards, and operational maturity.
Part of a Broader Global Regulatory Rollout
The Bermuda authorization complements Bitcoin Suisse’s expanding international footprint. The Group already holds an In-Principle Approval (IPA) from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), underscoring its commitment to serving clients across the Middle East within a regulated framework.
Together, these milestones reinforce Bitcoin Suisse’s ambition to bring its native crypto expertise to professional and institutional clients across multiple jurisdictions, including (ultra-)high-net-worth individuals, family offices, external asset managers, and corporate counterparties.
