Bitcoin (BTC) is the native asset that moves across the Bitcoin network. The network is a global protocol that timestamps transactions and ensures no one can spend the same coin twice. Holders secure BTC by controlling private keys—nothing is stored in a bank account or brokerage.

Exchanges are useful for price discovery but commonly fail through hacks, insolvency, or account freezes. Self-custody, especially with collaborative security, ensures you control your Bitcoin regardless of exchange solvency or policy changes.

Bitcoin’s supply schedule is fixed. Volatility typically compresses as adoption widens, but price swings remain normal. We plan around multi-year horizons and liquidity needs so short-term movements do not disrupt your strategy.

We recommend wills or trusts that reference the collaborative vault, letters of instruction, and memorandums describing asset distribution. For corporate entities, add board resolutions or custodian agreements that mirror the vault policies.

We assign knowledgeable guardians or co-trustees, create staged release plans, and provide education modules tailored to each beneficiary. Introducing collaborative security early gives everyone time to gain competence before any event occurs.
