Background

Background and Approach

Before focusing full-time on Bitcoin advisory work, Wenze built a career in highly regulated, technical environments where precision, documentation, and risk management are essential. That background strongly shapes how he approaches Bitcoin today.

Rather than selling products or promoting yield, Wenze focuses on understanding what can go wrong, and designing systems that remain robust even when assumptions fail, keys are lost, people pass away, or circumstances change.

He believes Bitcoin works best when it is:

Understood

Not outsourced. Clients maintain control and comprehension of their security model.

Secured Collaboratively

Not trusted to a single party. Control is distributed with clear responsibilities.

Documented Clearly

So others can step in when needed. Recovery procedures are accessible and understandable.

For Wenze, good Bitcoin security is not about paranoia, it is about removing avoidable fragility.

Book time

Services

What Wenze Helps With

Wenze works with clients across different stages of their Bitcoin journey, from first self-custody setups to complex multi-generational planning.

Self-Custody & Vault Design

Helping clients move from exchanges or single-key wallets to robust collaborative custody models where control is distributed, responsibilities are clear, and no single party can act unilaterally.

Bitcoin Inheritance Planning

Ensuring that Bitcoin can be recovered by the right people, at the right time, without exposing it prematurely or relying on trust alone.

Risk Assessment & Second Opinions

Reviewing existing setups to identify hidden risks, operational weaknesses, or assumptions that may not hold over time.

Education for Families

Explaining Bitcoin custody, recovery, and inheritance in plain language so partners, children, or executors are not left in the dark.

Wenze does not provide investment advice or speculate on price. His role is to help clients keep what they already own.

Fit

Who He Typically Works With

Long-Term Holders

Individuals and families holding Bitcoin for the long term who want to move beyond custodial solutions and short-term thinking.

Professionals & Business Owners

Those with custody responsibilities who need robust systems that remain functional decades from now.

Transitioning to Self-Custody

Clients moving from custodians to self-custody who want clarity and structure, not hype or complexity.

Inheritance-Focused

People who care about inheritance, continuity, and resilience and realize that "doing nothing" or "just remembering the seed phrase" is not a plan.

Philosophy

Advisory Philosophy

If you don't understand how your Bitcoin can be lost, you don't yet understand how it is secured.

Good Bitcoin custody should:

Survive Human Error

Systems remain functional even when mistakes are made or keys are mishandled.

Survive Time

Strategies that work today will still work decades from now, adapting to changing circumstances.

Survive Absence

Recovery is possible when the primary custodian is unavailable or passes away.

Survive Uncertainty

Plans remain robust even when assumptions fail or unexpected events occur.

That requires thought, documentation, and often collaboration.

Process

Working With Wenze

Wenze works as part of The Bitcoin Adviser network, giving clients access to a broader team while maintaining a personal, hands-on advisory relationship.

Understanding

Engagements typically start with understanding the client's current setup, goals, and concerns.

Clear Next Steps

Followed by clear next steps that the client remains in control of at all times.

Your Pace

There is no pressure, no rush, and no obligation to move faster than you are comfortable with.
