Summary
Bitcoin Suisse Group announced on May 12, 2026, that its affiliate Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd. has secured dual regulatory approvals from the Bermuda Monetary Authority. The entity obtained a Class F digital asset business license under Bermuda's Digital Asset Business Act and Class B registration under the Investment Business Act 2003. These approvals grant the Bermuda-domiciled entity authority to provide investment advisory services and discretionary portfolio management for professional and institutional clients internationally.
The regulatory foundation represents a strategic expansion of Bitcoin Suisse's operational footprint beyond its Swiss base. Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd. is wholly owned by BTCS Holding Ltd., the group's holding entity, and is domiciled in Hamilton, Bermuda. The Class F license covers regulated digital asset business services, while the Class B registration specifically enables investment advisory and discretionary portfolio management capabilities.
According to Andrej Majcen, Co-Founder and Group CEO, the approvals reflect a shift in institutional investor behavior toward digital assets as a permanent portfolio allocation. "Institutional investors increasingly recognize digital assets as a permanent part of their portfolios," Majcen stated, noting that clients require partners combining "deep crypto-native expertise with the governance and regulatory standards they expect from traditional financial services." The executive positioned the Bermuda approvals as a milestone in Bitcoin Suisse's evolution into a globally-focused wealth management platform.
The approvals have been granted on a pre-operational basis, contingent upon completion of customary regulatory conditions prior to commencing operations. This structure allows Bitcoin Suisse to establish its regulatory compliance framework while preparing to serve the institutional market segment internationally. The move reflects broader industry consolidation around regulated digital asset infrastructure targeting asset managers and family offices seeking professional-grade cryptocurrency exposure.
