Bitcoin infrastructure provider Blockstream has secured billions in investment to roll out three institutional bitcoin-backed funds. The new investment will fuel the launch of the Blockstream Income Fund and Blockstream Alpha Fund on April 1, 2025, with external capital acceptance opening on July 1, 2025.

The funds will provide institutional-grade exposure to bitcoin markets and introduce BTC-backed borrowing options, allowing investors to unlock liquidity without selling their holdings. A third fund, the Blockstream Yield Fund, is expected to launch later this year.

Blockstream’s lending model will allow institutions to borrow against BTC collateral while securing loans in U.S. dollars. This strategy offers capital efficiency for investors who want to maintain long-term BTC exposure while accessing liquidity.

Additionally, Blockstream is expanding its presence in Asia, with a new Tokyo office. The company has partnered with Diamond Hands, a top bitcoin strategic consultancy in Japan, and Fulgur Ventures, to accelerate Bitcoin layer two (L2) and self-custody solutions.

With institutional demand for BTC-backed financing on the rise, Blockstream’s latest move could reshape bitcoin’s use in global finance.
