Adam Back Leads $2.2M Bitcoin Funding for Health Tech

Blockstream CEO Adam Back led a 21 million Swedish krona ($2.2 million) funding round in 2025 for Swedish health tech firm H100 Group AB to buy Bitcoin.

The funding highlights growing corporate interest in Bitcoin as an asset class, influencing market dynamics and institutional strategies.

Adam Back directed a $2.2 million funding effort for the Swedish H100 Group AB to acquire Bitcoin. He personally invested $1.4 million, emphasizing his commitment to integrating Bitcoin within traditional business models.

“We are at a pivotal moment for Bitcoin’s growth. Spot ETFs have opened the floodgates, institutions are rushing to engage with Bitcoin, and individual interest is accelerating. As we look ahead, we will continue to explore ways to deliver the greatest impact with a focus on building the financial rails and infrastructure to help secure Bitcoin’s success long term.” – Adam Back, CEO, Blockstream

H100 Group aims to use the $2.2 million to bolster its Bitcoin holdings as part of a long-term asset strategy. The plan aligns with enhanced corporate activities globally focusing on cryptocurrency investments.

Market participants see Bitcoin purchases by non-crypto firms as pivotal in driving crypto adoption. H100 Group’s investment further validates Bitcoin’s role as a treasury asset for corporations diversifying holdings.

The funding involves convertible loans with 0% interest maturing in 2028. This reflects creative financial mechanisms employed by firms to facilitate strategic cryptocurrency acquisitions.

H100’s decision could spur similar moves by other companies. As institutional interest surges, regulatory frameworks might evolve to support broader corporate cryptocurrency activities.
