Why Firefish refers clients to TBA: Firefish enables non-custodial Bitcoin-backed loans so users can access liquidity without selling BTC. Our role begins where Firefish's ends: helping referred users become TBA clients for secure custody and collaborative security once holdings become meaningful for long-term wealth preservation.
How Firefish Works (Then Build Security With TBA)
Watch this overview of the Firefish model for Bitcoin-backed lending, then complete the form below to start your TBA client onboarding for collaborative security.
Don't Leave Your Bitcoin Exposed to Single Points of Failure
Your keys = your Bitcoin. Any meaningful Bitcoin position needs resilient long-term security. Whether your Bitcoin is held for collateral, savings, or future inheritance, single-key setups and ad hoc custody create avoidable risk. Firefish is built to be non-custodial; collaborative security helps ensure your long-term storage is equally robust.
Rookie mistake: Focusing only on acquisition, yield, or loan mechanics while ignoring long-term custody architecture. Our free self-custody guide covers the fundamentals. For a cautionary tale, read "How I Lost $6 Billion Dollars by Leaving Bitcoin on an Exchange".

Eliminating Single Points of Failure
Our free self-custody guide is a great resource for Firefish users thinking beyond basic custody. But for meaningful holdings, self-custody alone cannot eliminate single points of failure. Collaborative security solves this with a 2-of-3 multisig approach: you hold one key, we hold one, and an independent custody provider holds the third. No single party can access your Bitcoin alone.

What Self-Custody Cannot Solve
Self-custody works for learning and smaller amounts. For meaningful holdings, it cannot solve:
Single Points of Failure
One person, one device, one seed phrase: if any fail, your Bitcoin is at risk. Collaborative security requires multiple independent approvals for every transaction.
Estate Planning
How will your spouse or children access your Bitcoin if something happens to you? Collaborative security includes documented inheritance workflows and beneficiary training.
Incident Response
Lost device, forgotten seed phrase, or coercion? With self-custody, you're alone. Collaborative security provides 24/7 professional support and recovery protocols.
Human Mistakes
Scams, phishing, and transaction errors are real risks. When you're not sure, you don't have to decide alone. A team verifies transactions and intervenes before mistakes happen.
Since 2016 · Zero satoshis lost · 1% annual fee. Once your Bitcoin meaningfully affects your family's future, collaborative security removes single points of failure while you maintain control.
