Digital asset insurance leader Evertas acquires crypto mining insurance pioneer Bitsure

July 18, 2023 By GlobeNewswire

The pairing makes Evertas Web3's foremost provider of crypto mining cover

Chicago, July 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Evertas, the world’s first dedicated crypto insurance company, announced the acquisition of Bitsure, the world’s first insurer dedicated to coverage for crypto mining operations. Launched in 2021, Bitsure bound its first mining policy in June of 2022, followed by a year of rapid growth. Today, Bitsure policies insure about 6% of the Bitcoin mining network.

Crypto mining is the computer processor intensive method by which most blockchains, including Bitcoin, verify transactions and issue new coins. Multiple factors combine to make insuring mining equipment significantly more complex than insuring network data centers or other operations with large concentrations of computer hardware. Consequently, property insurance protecting crypto mining operations has been difficult to get.

“Bitsure is a product of smart and eager entrepreneurs who built a great company fulfilling a critical yet mostly unmet need. As a result, Bitsure quickly grew to the point where they needed help scaling—not just from an insurance capacity perspective but also from a team and resources perspective. These are all things Evertas has to offer,” said Evertas CEO and Co-Founder J. Gdanski. “In joining forces, Evertas benefits from the addition of key personnel and their deep understanding of mining, mining risks, and the broader Web3 ecosystem.”

Gdanski added that Evertas has authority to write crypto mining policies up to $200 million per location, which is several times higher than any other insurance provider, and 20 times more capacity than Bitsure had access to previously.

Bitsure Co-Founder Thomas Shewchuck joins Evertas as head of underwriting. He started his career as a wholesale insurance broker in 2011 and began mining cryptocurrencies with his partners in 2019.

“Not long after launching Bitsure, we collaborated with Evertas on multiple underwriting projects, where it was readily apparent that together, there was real synergy. That realization soon led to conversations about merging our operations,” Shewchuck said. “The combination of Bitsure’s expertise and the unmatched insurance capacity Evertas has access to is a game changer for crypto mining operations of all sizes.”

Bitsure’s regulatory compliance expert and lead underwriter, Sarah Leon, reprises that role at Evertas.

“The Bitsure team saw the huge insurance gap afflicting a vibrant but poorly understood market and decided to build a solution. It’s a very relatable story, because it describes our origin as well,” said Evertas Co-Founder and President Raymond Zenkich. “Only a handful of people possess the kind of specialized insurance and crypto mining knowledge we saw in abundance at Bitsure, and we’re fortunate to have them joining our team.”
