Bitcoin Security Reality Check
Quick Read
- Twenty-one questions covering operational risk, inheritance, collaborative security, and duress planning.
- Designed for founders, family offices, and high-net-worth clients evaluating their custody posture.
- Use the results to prioritise next steps with your in-house team or during a workshop with The Bitcoin Adviser.
Most Bitcoin is lost through internal mistakes, not sophisticated hacks. This diagnostic highlights the blind spots we see when families transition from single signature or exchange storage into professional collaborative security. Answer honestly—the score is for your own planning.
Tip: treat the explanations as a briefing pack. Share the summary with stakeholders who need to understand why collaborative security removes personal, legal, and operational single points of failure.

How Prepared Is Your Bitcoin Estate?
Work through each prompt to see if your governance covers the real-world issues—fire, estate disputes, duress, cross-border travel, and operational errors. Two attempts are permitted per question; full points land on the first try.
Situational questions drawn from nine years of collaborative security deployments and recovery drills.
Instant score feedback shows if you sit in “Operationally Ready” or “Critical Improvements Required”.
Every answer includes a briefing note you can share with trustees, CFOs, and legal counsel.

Next Actions After The Quiz
Use these prompts to translate your score into an actionable playbook for boards, trustees, and family members.
- Schedule a collaborative security walkthrough with the parties who hold keys, legal authority, or recovery responsibility.
- Document the estate workflow: who validates a duress request, who assembles the quorum, and how jurisdictional barriers are handled.
- Identify single points of failure (people, locations, hardware) and reassign risk across professional partners.
- Integrate the security plan with insurance, legal, and tax advisers so emergency responses are already agreed.
