Prepare Your Retirement With Bitcoin Confidence
We help retirees and pre-retirees deploy Bitcoin inside retirement structures without sacrificing sovereignty. You keep control of your Bitcoin, while gaining the redundancy, documentation, and operational support that long-horizon planning demands—whether you’re handling a first rollover or managing decades of accumulated savings.
Quick Read
- Apply collaborative security so no single person, device, or provider can compromise retirement Bitcoin.
- Structure rollovers for balances of any size—from first transfers to complex multi-party trusteeships.
- Integrate education, estate planning, and ongoing reviews so every stakeholder knows their role.
- Cross-reference the central FAQ and Estate Planning page for inheritance specifics.

What Goes Wrong Without A Retirement-Grade Plan
Single Points Of Failure
- Exchange or platform risk: insolvency, freezes, policy changes, and account lockouts.
- Single-device risk: one hardware wallet lost, damaged, or misconfigured.
- Single-human risk: the knowledgeable person is unavailable when it matters most.
Process & Documentation Failure
- No tested recovery path when life events happen.
- Executors, trustees, or heirs lack credentials and clear instructions.
- Retirement paperwork and custody reality are misaligned, causing delays.
Reality Check
Retirement planning fails most often through operational breakdown, not cryptography: missing steps, missing people, missing documentation. We design custody and recovery so the plan survives stress, time, and handovers.
A Long-Horizon Wealth Preservation Asset
Durability & Portability
- A global bearer asset with high liquidity and divisibility.
- Portability that helps retirees who relocate, travel, or hold multi-jurisdiction family ties.
- Does not degrade physically; survivability is driven by custody and process.
Counterparty & Governance
- No central issuer; ownership is enforced by keys and network consensus.
- Reduces reliance on single institutions when implemented with robust custody.
- Inheritance-ready when paired with collaborative security and tested playbooks.
To date, we have recorded zero custody-loss incidents for clients operating under our collaborative security process.

- Transfer procedures tested before meaningful value moves.
- Optional rehearsal for high-stress events and large transactions.

Know Each Party’s Role
The Bitcoin Adviser provides education and operational support for Bitcoin custody and documentation. We are not a retirement account custodian, trustee, broker, dealer, or financial adviser, and we do not provide tax, legal, or investment advice.
You are responsible for selecting and contracting with the appropriate custodians, administrators, and licensed professionals. Always consult your CPA and attorney before executing retirement transactions—errors can trigger penalties or disqualify accounts.
