Bitcoin Suisse is stepping up its international growth ambitions after its European subsidiary, Bitcoin Suisse (Europe) AG, was granted a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) license under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR).
The authorization, issued by the Financial Market Authority (FMA) of Liechtenstein, allows the company to offer crypto-asset services across selected markets within the European Economic Area (EEA). The approval builds on Bitcoin Suisse’s longstanding registration under Liechtenstein’s Token and Trusted Technology Service Provider Act (TVTG).
Targeting Europe’s Wealthy and Institutional Investors
With the new license in hand, Bitcoin Suisse aims to strengthen its position among high-net-worth individuals, corporates, and institutional investors across Europe.
The company is leveraging more than a decade of experience in the digital asset industry, having navigated multiple market cycles since its founding in 2013. Its core offering includes crypto trading, custody, and staking services.
According to Bitcoin Suisse, two key factors differentiate the firm from many competitors: its proprietary technology infrastructure and its relationship-driven service model, under which every client is assigned a dedicated relationship manager.
«We are very proud of this milestone,» said Andrej Majcen, Co-Founder and Group CEO of Bitcoin Suisse. «The MiCAR authorization marks a decisive step on our journey toward becoming a global brand and ultimately a global wealth management platform.»
He added that, together with the group’s existing presence in Switzerland and Bermuda, the European authorization provides a strong regulatory foundation to serve clients across several of the world’s most important financial centers.
Roman Przibylla to Lead European Growth
Bitcoin Suisse has appointed Roman Przibylla as Chief Executive Officer of Bitcoin Suisse (Europe) AG to spearhead the company’s European expansion.
Przibylla brings more than 15 years of distribution and financial markets experience. During his career, he has held senior positions at Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, HSBC, Vontobel, and Maverix Securities.
«The MiCAR license gives Bitcoin Suisse access to one of the largest and most sophisticated investor markets in the world,» said Przibylla. «We can now offer high-net-worth and institutional clients in Europe what they truly need: first-class infrastructure combined with direct access to experienced professionals who possess genuine crypto expertise.»
He noted that the combination of institutional-grade technology and personalized client service remains rare within the digital asset sector.
Building a European Crypto Platform
The MiCAR authorization represents a significant strategic milestone for Bitcoin Suisse as the European crypto market moves toward a harmonized regulatory framework.
Founded in Zug in 2013, Bitcoin Suisse has grown into one of Switzerland’s leading crypto financial services providers. The company employs more than 200 people across Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the United Arab Emirates, and Bermuda, serving institutional clients, crypto foundations, family offices, asset managers, and high-net-worth individuals.
With regulatory footholds in several major jurisdictions, Bitcoin Suisse is positioning itself to capitalize on growing institutional demand for digital asset services across Europe and beyond.
