    Blockstream, a provider of Bitcoin-powered financial infrastructure, has secured billions of dollars in investment as it prepares to launch its crypto lending funds.

    The Bitcoin (BTC) developer platform, which raised millions of dollars in debt financing in 2024, also noted that its crypto-backed fund will now go live early April. Bloomberg reported details of Blockstream’s multibillion-dollar investment on March 4, 2025.

    Led by co-founder and chief executive officer Adam Back, Blockstream will use the investment to roll out three funds, two of which focus on crypto lending.

    “With institutional demand for Bitcoin-native finance growing, we’re building the foundation for a more robust and transparent lending ecosystem,” Blockstream wrote on X.

    Our Bitcoin-backed funds now have an official launch date.

    As reported by Bloomberg, Blockstream’s institutional-grade Bitcoin investment solutions will go live on April 1, with external capital acceptance opening on July 1.

    As per the brief update, the company’s Bitcoin-backed funds will be available for institutional investors starting April 1. External capital acceptance will open July 1, 2025.

    Blockstream recently unveiled its asset management arm Blockstream Asset Management and confirmed the upcoming debut of its Bitcoin-backed investment funds.

    They included the Blockstream Income Fund and the Blockstream Alpha Fund. The company also outlined the Blockstream Yield Fund, anticipating its potential launch later in the year.

    The Bitcoin-backed lending funds will provide institutional financing, allowing users to borrow against BTC collateral. The U.S. dollar-collateralized borrowing model enables investors to unlock liquidity without selling their Bitcoin, while hedge fund strategies offer institutional-grade exposure to Bitcoin markets.

    Expansion into Asia and beyond

    Blockstream’s recent expansion efforts also include the company’s opening of an office in Tokyo to bring the BTC-backed solutions to Japan and the broader Asian market. 

    This follows its partnership with Diamond Hands, a leading Bitcoin strategic consultancy in Japan. The company has also collaborated with Fulgur Ventures as part of its initiative to accelerate the adoption of Bitcoin layer 2 and self-custody solutions. Blockstream is also exploring tokenization of real-world assets.

    Founded in 2014, Blockstream provides a sidechain solution for Bitcoin swap settlements and smart contracts while supporting various crypto-related projects.
