FOUNDATION RAISES $6.4M, LAUNCHES “HUMAN AUTHORITY HARDWARE” FOR THE AI ERA
Foundation announced a new $6.4M funding round led by Fulgur Ventures, bringing total funding to $16.5M.
The company also opened general availability for Passport Prime, its new American-manufactured security device designed to authorize high-stakes digital actions beyond traditional Bitcoin self-custody.
Foundation says the rise of AI agents is changing the security model entirely.
Instead of just protecting private keys, the company is expanding into identity, multi-factor authentication, and AI agent authorization through its KeyOS platform.
AI agents can now move money, deploy code, access credentials, and operate across cloud infrastructure at machine speed.
Foundation argues that browser prompts, phone notifications, and software-based approval systems are no longer sufficient when the AI and the approval mechanism exist in the same potentially compromised environment.
Passport Prime is being positioned as the first “Human Authority Hardware™” device, requiring explicit human approval on dedicated hardware before sensitive actions can occur.
