Buying bitcoin is straightforward. Holding it properly is where most people get it wrong.
Leaving bitcoin on an exchange is trusting an institution not to fail — and many have. Holding it yourself with a single password or device is a single point of failure. Neither is appropriate for a financial adviser's client or a business treasury. Collaborative custody is the structure that eliminates both problems, without handing control to anyone else.
No single person can access your bitcoin alone. Not even us.
Collaborative custody uses a multi-signature structure — multiple independent parties each hold a key, and any transaction requires at least two of those keys to authorise it. No single person, device or organisation can move funds unilaterally. Including us.
This is the same institutional-grade custody model used by publicly listed companies, family offices and sovereign wealth funds. We make it accessible and operationally straightforward for financial advisers' clients and businesses of any size.
The goal isn't just security. It's a structure that works when life gets complicated — staff changes, health events, succession, or simply a key that goes missing. Collaborative custody is designed to survive all of it.
Three independent keys. Two required to act. Zero single points of failure.
A 2-of-3 multi-signature vault, distributed across three independent key holders.
You hold one key and are always the initiator of any transaction. Nothing moves without your intent. You remain in control.
One key is held by your trusted partne, such as your lawyer. They can co-sign to authorise transactions — but only after you initiate. They cannot move funds independently under any circumstances.
An institutional-grade platform partner holds the third key, providing an additional layer of security and a recovery path if any single key is lost or compromised.
Any two of the three key holders must independently authorise a transaction before it can be executed. If you lose a device, your bitcoin is not lost. If a staff member leaves, access is not frozen. If we, Bitcoin partner, were to disappear tomorrow, your bitcoin remains fully accessible through the remaining two keys. The structure is designed to be resilient to any single failure, human or technical.
For advisers' clients moving beyond ETF exposure. For businesses protecting treasury.
A custody solution for clients moving beyond ETF exposure.
When your clients want direct bitcoin ownership — not just price exposure through an ETF — they need a custody structure that is secure, governed and survivable. We work alongside you to set this up for your clients, with documentation that satisfies your compliance requirements and gives the client genuine confidence in how their bitcoin is held.
A treasury structure that maps to existing corporate governance.
For businesses allocating a portion of retained earnings to bitcoin, custody is the piece that most boards aren't sure how to handle. Our 2-of-3 structure maps naturally onto existing corporate approval chains — signer roles align to positions, not individuals, so the structure survives personnel changes — with full documentation for your auditors and board.
Setup, documentation, rehearsal, and ongoing governance.
Collaborative custody is not a one-time technical event. It is an ongoing structure that needs to be maintained, reviewed and updated as your circumstances change.
Vault design & setup
We design the key holder structure appropriate for your situation — mapping roles to your existing governance, coordinating key creation across all three holders, and configuring the vault. The setup is guided, step-by-step, with no technical knowledge assumed.
Role documentation
Every signer's role, responsibilities and authorisation process is documented in plain language. For businesses, this forms part of the board-approved treasury policy. For individuals and advisers' clients, it creates a clear record of how the vault works.
Rehearsal
Before any bitcoin is loaded into the vault, we walk through a complete rehearsal of the authorisation process with all key holders. Every signer understands their role and has executed it at least once in a low-stakes environment. Nothing is assumed; nothing is left to figure out later.
Succession & continuity
What happens when a signer leaves the business, changes roles or is unavailable? We document the key rotation process and succession procedures from day one — so the structure survives personnel changes with a clear, tested protocol rather than an unplanned scramble.
Ongoing support
We remain available for key rotations, signer changes, periodic reviews, and any event that requires vault governance support. Your custody structure is a living arrangement — we treat it that way.
Collaborative custody is a technical security service. We are not custodians — we do not hold your bitcoin, take possession of your assets, or have unilateral access to your funds. This service does not constitute financial, investment, tax or legal advice. Decisions about whether to hold bitcoin, how much to allocate, and how to treat it for tax purposes remain with you and your professional advisers.
