100% life is going to throw a lot at us, so when we're thinking about how we protect our bitcoin through the turmoil and unpredictability, we have to think through worst case scenarios and have backups in place. Easier said than done though and that's why having multiple custodians vs just one is so critical. Even if that black swan event occurs your bitcoin is secure

Life gets in the way. That's the point of life if you're living it right. You buy a home. You have kids. You change jobs. You get a health scare. Someone passes. You get older. Through it all, your bitcoin security setup has to work. Not just today. For decades. We've had

This is a really important question this industry obsesses over custody, which is better the coldcard vs foundation vs trezor etc etc but when it comes to Saylor's products, custody isn't scrutinized, it's taken for granted. Why hasn't he built his own multi-institution custody setup? Multisig is open source, it's not hard to do from a technical standpoint. It's a red flag. This is one of the big reasons I don't own MSTR, STRC, or any of his products because there is a custody risk embedded, among others.

Let's talk about the major STRC risk... the elephant in the room. Strategy's 10-K (filed 2/19/26): Coinbase: 287,322 BTC (40%) Anchorage: 262,194 BTC (37%) Fidelity: 167,615 BTC (23%) The self-proclaimed "triple maxi" custodies 40% of Strategy's bitcoin with Coinbase... a x.com/saylor/status/…

I was as surprised as anyone that Kraken was granted a Federal Reserve master account this week. I was even more surprised that it was Kraken and not Coinbase so I dug into it. I assumed that if any company would be first through the door it would be Coinbase because --they're publicly traded --they're the custodian for ~80% of all BTC held in the ETFs. --CEO Brian Armstrong spends a lot of time with Trump in DC And yet Kraken emerged the victor. Why? Because Kraken made a strategic decision years ago that flew under the radar. They set up Kraken Financial as a Wyoming-chartered Special Purpose Depository Institution, a bank charter specifically designed for digital asset companies. That structure is what qualified them. The Fed's framework requires a depository charter to even apply. Coinbase operates as a money transmitter in most states. They never built that structure. Political connections don't get you a Fed master account. The right legal structure does. This is a pattern worth paying attention to. The companies building the right infrastructure today, before the market demands it, are the ones who will define the next era of Bitcoin financial services. At @OnrampBitcoin, we've been operating from the same conviction. Multi-institution custody isn't just the best custody solution available right now, it's the end state. It's the architecture that serious Bitcoin holders will look back on and wonder how they ever survived with anything less. Kraken saw where the regulatory infrastructure was heading and built for it years in advance. We've done the same with custody. The long game is the only game worth playing.

I hosted a webinar last week with @macrojack21 and the #1 concern wasn't a 6102 seizure, quantum etc it was inheritance. And it should be Many in bitcoin have held for 5-10+ years, have families now, and need to get ahead of this. If something happens to you tomorrow, can your family access your bitcoin? Do they know where your hardware wallet is? Your seed phrase? The code to your safe? The honest answer is no, they probably can't. Here's an ideal bitcoin inheritance plan that will give both you and your family peace of mind: 1. Named beneficiaries on your account (primary + contingent) 2. A transfer on death agreement. No probate, no legal ambiguity 3. A step-up in cost basis at time of death (massive tax benefit) 4. One simple step for your family: "Call Cam. Call Jackson. They'll handle it." No seed phrases, wallet config files. No hardware wallets to locate. No technical knowledge required. All the hard work you've put into building your BTC position shouldn't disappear because a plan wasn't there. In 15 minutes you can have this taken care of. Account created with your own wallet and named beneficiaries. We'll walk you through it if you would like help, just DM me or Jackson.
