Ego Death Capital has successfully closed its second fund, raising $100 million aimed at investing in companies centered on Bitcoin technology. The fund's primary focus is on supporting software firms that utilize the Bitcoin protocol to address real-world problems, emphasizing sustainable value rather than speculative crypto tokens.

Backed mainly by family offices already invested in Bitcoin, the fund reflects a growing interest in building long-term value within the original cryptocurrency ecosystem. Notable early investments include Roxom, a Bitcoin-based exchange; Relai, a Bitcoin savings tool; and Breez, which offers payment infrastructure utilizing the Lightning Network.

Founding partner Nico Lechuga emphasized their commitment to Bitcoin as the only secure and decentralized base for developing new financial products, highlighting a strategic shift from short-term crypto speculation toward innovation grounded in Bitcoin’s stability.

For investors and crypto enthusiasts looking to engage with Bitcoin innovations, platforms like Bitlet.app offer practical solutions. Bitlet.app's Crypto Installment service allows users to buy cryptocurrencies now and pay monthly, making it easier to invest in Bitcoin and participate in this evolving ecosystem without full upfront costs.

Ego Death Capital’s new fund underlines the maturing Bitcoin investment landscape, encouraging more sustainable business models and reinforcing Bitcoin’s role as a foundational technology for the future of finance.
