Bitcoin Suisse Group Expands Global Footprint
On May 12, 2026, Zug, Switzerland-based Bitcoin Suisse Group revealed that its affiliate, Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd., has acquired a Class F digital asset business license and Class B registration under Bermuda’s Investment Business Act of 2003 from the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA). This preliminary approval is contingent upon fulfilling standard pre-operational conditions before the company can commence regulated investment advisory and digital asset management services aimed specifically at professional and institutional clients.
Significance of the Regulatory Approval
This regulatory green light is a pivotal moment in Bitcoin Suisse’s efforts to broaden its global footprint. With this licensure, Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd. is now poised to extend its investment advisory and asset management offerings outside of Switzerland, establishing a dedicated entity to cater to clients in international markets.
Andrej Majcen, the Co-Founder and Group CEO of Bitcoin Suisse, highlighted that institutional investors are increasingly viewing digital assets as integral to their investment strategies. He emphasized the necessity for a partner that can blend extensive cryptocurrency expertise with the regulatory rigor and governance that institutional investors anticipate from traditional finance.
Services Offered by Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd.
Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd., based in Hamilton, Bermuda and wholly owned by BTCS Holding Ltd., focuses on providing regulated digital asset services through its DABA license and enabling investment advisory through its IBA registration. This new entity will offer a wide array of services tailored to institutional needs, including:
- Discretionary portfolio management
- Investment advisory services that can be funded via Bitcoin, stablecoins, or fiat currencies
Notably, this entity will operate without custody, leveraging regulated custodians and partner banks to ensure a high standard of asset security. Investment decisions will be guided by an experienced Chief Investment Officer team and tailored research capabilities, utilizing Bitcoin Suisse’s well-established Crypto Analysis Framework and its proprietary Global Crypto Taxonomy, which classifies nearly 600 digital assets across six different sectors—an effort supported by over a decade of expert research.
Bermuda: A Premier Destination for Digital Asset Services
Bermuda stands out as a premier destination for regulated digital asset services, having enacted the Digital Asset Business Act in 2018 and emerging as a pioneering regulatory environment in this domain. The grants of both DABA and IBA licenses to Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd. underscore the group’s robust compliance framework, operational maturity, and governance practices.
Global Expansion and Future Initiatives
This expansion in Bermuda complements Bitcoin Suisse’s ongoing regulatory initiatives worldwide. The group has also secured In-Principle Approval from Abu Dhabi’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority, further positioning the company to serve clients across the Middle Eastern region under a compliant regulatory structure. This expansion reflects Bitcoin Suisse’s ambition to leverage its deep-rooted cryptocurrency knowledge to assist an array of clients, including ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), family offices, corporate partners, and external asset managers, facilitated through an expansive global network.
