$100 Million for Bitcoin Companies
Ego Death Capital has gathered $100 million to invest in businesses that use Bitcoin. The money comes from family offices and other private investors. The firm will fund early-stage companies that make between $1 million and $3 million per year in revenue. These companies are typically in Series A, which means they are just starting to grow fast.
Why Only Bitcoin?
The firm says it will only invest in Bitcoin-related companies. Founding partner Nico Leshuga said that Bitcoin is the strongest decentralized and secure system to build on. They will not invest in companies that make Bitcoin mining equipment, wallets, or anything related to other cryptocurrencies. Instead, they focus on software and services built around Bitcoin.
Previous Investments
Some startups already backed by Ego Death include Roxcom (a Bitcoin exchange), Relai (a Bitcoin savings platform), and Breez (a payment system using the Bitcoin Lightning Network). These tools aim to make using Bitcoin easier for regular users and businesses.
Bitcoin’s Popularity with Big Investors
More companies are starting to hold Bitcoin as part of their financial reserves. Some add it to their balance sheets because it can act as a long-term store of value. This trend is growing thanks to the performance of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs and the rise of corporate Bitcoin spending. Ego Death Capital’s approach fits into this growing demand from businesses and institutions.
Wider VC Growth in Crypto
Crypto investments overall went up in the second quarter of 2025. Over $10.03 billion was raised, with June alone seeing $5.14 billion. Big funds like Strive and 21 Capital raised hundreds of millions of dollars. These funds also focus heavily on Bitcoin strategies. It shows that many investors are betting big on Bitcoin again.
