Ego Death Capital Raises $100M to Back Bitcoin-Focused Startups

Venture firm Ego Death Capital has secured $100 million for its second fund, aimed at scaling software startups building on the Bitcoin protocol.

Key Takeaways:

  • Ego Death Capital raised $100 million to fund Bitcoin-focused software startups.
  • The firm targets revenue-generating companies and avoids token speculation.
  • Its strategy centers on scaling real businesses built directly on the Bitcoin protocol.

The fund is designed to fill a gap in Series A funding for companies focused on real-world applications of Bitcoin, founding partner Nico Lechuga told Axios.

“We’re in Bitcoin, investing in true companies solving real-world problems,” Lechuga said.

Ego Death Bets on Bitcoin Startups With Real Revenue

Unlike broader crypto funds chasing token speculation, Ego Death backs startups generating revenue and cash flow, often in BTC itself.

The fund targets companies earning between $1 million and $3 million in revenue, with growth limited more by capital than by market demand.

While the fund primarily focuses on Series A rounds, a small portion is reserved for early-stage seed investments showing strong potential.

Backers of the fund are mainly family offices already invested in Bitcoin and looking to support the development of its surrounding ecosystem.

Lechuga said the sector has long lacked a lead investor for Series A rounds, a role Ego Death now aims to fill.

Ego Death’s recent investments include Roxom, a Bitcoin-native exchange; Relai, a savings app; and Breez, a Lightning network-based payments platform.

The firm avoids hardware startups, mining companies, or Bitcoin infrastructure plays, choosing instead to focus strictly on scalable software businesses.

Unlike many crypto-focused firms, Ego Death deliberately avoids exposure to tokens.

Lechuga believes that building sustainable Bitcoin-native businesses can outperform holding the asset alone, especially when startups generate revenue directly in BTC.

“We see Bitcoin as the only decentralized and secure base to be able to build on,” he said.

With the new fund, Ego Death is betting on a more mature, application-driven Bitcoin economy, one powered by real business fundamentals, not speculative hype.

Doubts Grow Over Long-Term Viability of Bitcoin Treasury Strategy

Skepticism around the sustainability of the Bitcoin treasury trend is growing.

Last week, Glassnode lead analyst James Check raised concerns over the longevity of the corporate Bitcoin treasury strategy, arguing the easy gains might already be gone for new entrants as the market matures.

The warning echoes recent comments from Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, who has voiced concerns over the Bitcoin treasury strategies adopted by some publicly traded firms.

Sigel singled out the use of at-the-market (ATM) share issuance programs, arguing that these can become dilutive if a company’s stock price nears its Bitcoin net asset value (NAV).

Meanwhile, New York law firm Pomerantz LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against Michael Saylor’s Strategy, accusing the Bitcoin-focused firm of misleading investors about the profitability and risks of its crypto investment strategy.
