Digital Asset Insurance, Built on Trust. Blockchain Insurance Inc. is the world’s first association-based captive insurance company created specifically for digital asset businesses and other complex, high-growth industries. Built by the industry, for the industry, we offer thoughtful, well-structured insurance solutions for organizations that need more than standard coverage, without sacrificing professionalism or regulatory credibility. Coverage is available to members of the Canadian Bitcoin Consortium, ensuring a trusted community aligned around transparency, strong governance, and long-term sustainability.
What is an Association Insurance Captive ?
An association-based captive is an insurance company created and governed for the benefit of a defined member community rather than external shareholders, and in this case it was designed specifically for Canadian Bitcoin Consortium members to deliver cost-effective, tailored coverage to an emerging industry. Digital asset businesses face a lack of actuarial data and claims history, leaving traditional insurers unable to properly understand the risk and driving the cost of coverage unreasonably high. By building
insurance with the industry rather than imposing it from the outside, this model allows for more thoughtful underwriting, greater flexibility in policy design, and a deeper understanding of real-world operations. Profits and underwriting discipline are reinvested into the captive to strengthen long-term stability, creating coverage that is credible, sustainable, and aligned with the needs of modern businesses.
Canadian Bitcoin Consortium is an Advocacy Group dedicated to sound monetary and energy policy for the betterment of all Canadians.
