Technical Implementation
Direct Bitcoin custody inside an SMSF.
Implementation, documentation, and operational correctness across decades.
Education first, implementation second
Start at BitcoinSuper.io for the reference manual. The Bitcoin Adviser provides the technical execution.
Good fit if you:
- Want direct ownership (not ETFs)
- Value custody resilience and continuity
- Maintain trustee-grade documentation
Not a fit if you:
- Want guarantees or "safe returns"
- Want to outsource all responsibility
- Will not self-educate on risks
The Roadmap
Three moving parts
01
SMSF Structure
Trust deed, roles, and investment strategy setup via your professionals.
02
Funding
Exchange onboarding and auditor-ready record keeping.
03
Custody Vault
Collaborative multisig implementation and recovery paths.
