NYDIG, a bitcoin services company announced today “a $200 million growth capital round led by strategic partner Stone Ridge Holdings Group, Morgan Stanley, New York Life, MassMutual, Soros Fund Management, and FS Investments.
NYDIG scores major partners
Other participants in the funding round are Bessmer Venture Partners and Fintech Collective, who both led the two prior funding rounds for the company.Crunchbase data shows that NYDIG previously raised $105 million. The growth capital round brings the company’s total funding to $305 million.
What is also interesting are the names that are investing in NYDIG. MassMutual is a repeat investor in the company. Last year, the insurance giant bought bitcoins worth $100 million with the help of NYDIG.
At the same time, MassMutual bought a $5 million - about 5% - stake in NYDIG. New York Life seems to be the second insurance company backing the bitcoin services firm.
A spokesperson for New York Life recently told The Block that the company “does not comment” on general account investments.
NYDIG co-founder and CEO Robert Gutmann previously said that publicly-traded companies, including insurance firms, will buy bitcoin for investment purposes.
Morgan Stanley invests in bitcoin company
Morgan Stanley, a multinational investment bank and financial services company with $715 billion in assets under management (AUM) also participated in the funding round.Last year, the bank’s crypto head Andrew Peel said spoke highly of decentralized finance.
“I would say an evolution of this current momentum in terms of significant interest in the topic will continue through 2021,” said Peel.
Major banks are warming up to bitcoin and the cryptocurrency industry. Investment bank Goldman Sachs recently rebooted its cryptocurrency trading desk amid a boom in the market.
JPMorgan has stated that it will only offer bitcoin trading if there is enough demand for it.
More than partners
Gutmann said the investors are more than investors as the company has known each of them for many years.“NYDIG will be working with these firms on Bitcoin-related strategic initiatives spanning investment management, insurance, banking, clean energy, and philanthropy.”
The company’s partnership with some of the major investment banks as well as insurance companies is an indication that institutions are embracing the young industry.
“These partnerships leave no doubt that institutional adoption of Bitcoin has arrived,” he added.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
