Blockstream Capital Partners has purchased Berglinde AG, a Swiss financial services company that specialises in consulting services and Bitcoin-backed loans for high-net-worth individuals and institutions.
Berglinde, which operates out of Zug, Switzerland, combines extensive knowledge of both traditional banking and cryptocurrencies to meet the increasing demand for trustworthy, regulated gateways between digital and fiat assets.
Its track record of compliance with Swiss financial monitoring guarantees personalised solutions with strong security and complete transparency. With multi-layer risk controls, Berglinde’s addition to Blockstream offers sophisticated portfolio management and consultancy services for organisations looking to enter the Bitcoin market safely.
Blockstream Expands to Switzerland
Berglinde was acquired by Blockstream as part of its larger plan to combine traditional markets, regulatory clarity, and digital asset services. The company previously set up a headquarters in Switzerland and began working with fintech incubators in Lugano. They concentrated on developing infrastructure and Bitcoin-native products.

Together with other Blockstream projects like the Liquid Network and research collaborations around Europe, this consolidation campaign establishes Blockstream’s Swiss business as a regional anchor for institutional-grade Bitcoin exposure and loan services.
Blockstream’s ability to offer regulated, scalable, and secure liquidity against Bitcoin aligns with market trends. More funds and corporates are adding Bitcoin-backed loans and yield products to balance sheets.
This is due to Switzerland’s regulatory environment offering a blueprint for broader EU integration. Competitors and peers, such as MetaPlanet in Tokyo and Cantor Fitzgerald on Wall Street, are ramping up multi-billion dollar treasury strategies that treat Bitcoin as a core asset rather than a speculative allocation.
Facilitating Institutional Bitcoin Adoption
The acquisition signals Blockstream’s intention to play an active role in mainstreaming Bitcoin financial products for institutional and traditional investors.
With Berglinde’s product suite, which includes yield optimization, advisory, and credit services, Blockstream can serve as an entry point for entities wary of the compliance and transparency risks associated with direct crypto holdings.
Berglinde’s lending model further allows customers to unlock fiat liquidity while keeping their Bitcoin (BTC), supporting long-term holding and capital efficiency.
