Bitcoin Self-Custody Program 2025

The Bitcoin Self-Custody Program is our Signature Service, and a cornerstone for experienced Bitcoiners.

Taking custody of your Bitcoin means having direct control over your private keys, eliminating reliance on third parties like exchanges or custodians. This approach reduces risks such as hacks, account freezes, or loss of access, but it places the responsibility of security on you. Here’s a clear guide to taking custody of your Bitcoin: 

1. Understand Wallets and Private Keys  

A **wallet** is a tool that manages your Bitcoin by storing your **private keys**. 

- **Private keys** are secret codes that prove ownership of your Bitcoin and allow you to spend it. Whoever controls the keys controls the funds. 

- **Non-custodial wallets** give you sole control of your private keys, unlike custodial services (e.g., exchanges) that hold them on your behalf.  

2. Choose Your Hardware Wallet 

For most users, a **hardware wallet** is the best option due to its balance of security and usability. 

- **Hardware Wallets** (e.g., Trezor, Blockstream):   

- Physical devices that store private keys offline.   

- Highly secure against online threats like hacking.   

- Recommended for long-term storage or significant amounts. For maximum security, opt for a hardware wallet. 

Here’s how to get started with a hardware wallet:
