After two decades in corporate fiat, he is now a "terminal bitcoiner", dedicating his life to Bitcoin and Bitcoiners through collaborative security and also with the Bitfluencers, THE Bitcoin Marketing Team, a group of bitcoin maxis capped at 21 members that provide Signal Over Noise and visibility on social media to Bitcoin only companies.
Stefan works with clients in the language they are most comfortable in, without assuming prior technical depth. The goal is practical resilience: keys you control, plans your family can follow, and structures that still make sense years from now.
He believes long-run Bitcoin security should be:
Inclusive
Spouses, heirs, and trusted contacts understand enough to support the plan—not left guessing after a crisis.
Collaborative
Multisig and shared responsibility reduce single points of failure without handing control to one counterparty.
Clear
Documentation and roles are explicit so recovery and inheritance do not depend on memory alone.
What Stefan Helps With
Stefan supports European clients across experience levels—from first serious self-custody moves to refining an existing vault and inheritance story.
Stefan does not provide investment advice or price commentary. His focus is helping you keep and pass on what you already own.
Collaborative security
Designing and stress-testing multisignature setups so day-to-day use and recovery paths are realistic for you and your family.
Continuity & inheritance
Aligning technical custody with who should inherit, when they should get access, and how they will prove it—without premature exposure.
Education at your pace
Explaining trade-offs in plain language in French, English, Italian, Spanish, or German so everyone who needs to understand the plan actually does.
Second opinions
Reviewing existing arrangements for hidden fragility—human, operational, or technical—before they become emergencies.
Who He Typically Works With
European households
Families and individuals in Europe who want long-horizon security and clear communication across generations.
Multilingual needs
Clients who prefer to work in french, english, italian, spanish, or german—or a mix—without losing precision on custody details.
From fiat careers to bitcoin
People who spent years in traditional finance and now want the same rigour applied to bearer-asset custody and continuity.
Bitcoin-only operators
Founders and teams who care about signal over noise and want advisory aligned with Bitcoin-only values and collaborative security.
Advisory Philosophy
Long-run bitcoin security is collaborative, documented, and built for the people you love—not a solo hero story.
Effective plans should:
Respect expertise gaps
Meet you where you are and close gaps without jargon or rush.
Reduce single points of failure
Technology and people both fail; design assumes that from the start.
Stay Bitcoin-native
No detours into altcoins or yield products—security and continuity for bitcoin holdings.
Age well
What works this year should still be intelligible and recoverable a decade or more from now.
