The Leadership in Insurance Podcast - Insurtech & Innovation

Transforming Insurance with Bitcoin: A Conversation with Zac Townsend, CEO of Meanwhile


Listen Later

In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Zachary Townsend, CEO of Meanwhile, who’s leading a game-changing initiative by using Bitcoin to tackle underinsurance in high-inflation countries. Zac and his team are rethinking life insurance from the ground up, and our conversation was packed with fascinating insights into how they’re doing it.


Here’s what you’ll learn:

🔹 Bitcoin in Life Insurance: How Meanwhile exclusively transacts in Bitcoin to provide stability in economies with high inflation.

🔹 Licensed in Bermuda: Why Bermuda’s regulatory landscape is key to their innovation, and how they’re navigating the complexities of the jurisdiction.

🔹 Managing Bitcoin Volatility: The strategies Meanwhile uses to handle Bitcoin’s price swings while maintaining trust and security for policyholders.

🔹 Tech-First, Full-Stack Approach: How Meanwhile integrates technology at every level to scale their model and aim for 1 billion policyholders globally.

🔹 Blockchain and Investors: How blockchain technology and a diverse group of investors are propelling Meanwhile's growth and vision for the future of insurance.


This episode is a must-listen for anyone in fintechinsurtech, or blockchain, and for those curious about how digital currencies are reshaping the traditional insurance model.
