What if you could unlock the value of your Bitcoin without ever paying capital gains? In this episode of Leviathan News, we sit down with Jason Leibowitz from Meanwhile — the world’s first fully licensed Bitcoin-denominated life insurance company.
Jason breaks down how Meanwhile works, how it uses whole life insurance to offer tax-free Bitcoin loans, and why this structure is perfect for long-term BTC holders who want exposure, liquidity, and inheritance protection without giving up control.
This is the closest thing to a tax-advantaged Bitcoin IRA — but without the limitations.
