What Swan does

Swan pioneered automated Bitcoin savings plans, letting users set recurring daily, weekly, or monthly purchases using dollar-cost averaging, and offers products including a Bitcoin IRA, institutional custody, and collaborative self-custody. The company pairs its accumulation tools with education for long-term holders.

The secret

Every exchange is built for people who trade, and the person who wants to accumulate over a decade was left with tools designed to make them do the opposite. Building only for the long-term saver, with recurring buys and custody rather than an order book, means the product is not fighting the customer.

Why NZVC invested in Swan

NZVC invested in Swan from NZVC Fund I. We file the company under Fintech on the portfolio wall.

We invested in Swan because a durable audience wants a simple, disciplined way to accumulate Bitcoin over years rather than trade it, and no one owned that long-term saver clearly. Swan's automated recurring buys, custody options, and education serve exactly that customer with a focused product rather than a sprawling exchange. The founders are credible, mission-aligned operators in the space, and they built the on-ramp as recurring, long-horizon Bitcoin saving moved into the mainstream.
