Self custody for your family's future

Taking custody brings real questions

How do I secure Bitcoin properly with the right tools?

What order should I implement security so I don't make mistakes?

How do I build a system that balances security with real life usability?

How do I make sure my family can recover it if something happens?

You don't need more information.

You need a system you can trust for years.

Learn about
what we do

Get started

We don't just teach tools.

We build systems.

Most people can buy a device, but they don't know how to structure Bitcoin around real-life risks like retirement, relocation, separation, illness, inheritance, and emergencies.

We build a complete framework.

Designed for recovery and continuity.

Spending, Savings, Vault

Get started

Your Bitcoin is most secure when each portion has a purpose and the right level of friction.

Spending

Low friction and highly convenient. Diverse and multipurpose. Kept to a low amount.

Savings

More secure and sovereign, with a good user experience and practical accessibility.

Vault

Highest security and redundancy. Designed to remove single points of failure and protect long term wealth.

What you receive

Get started

A Comprehensive PDF Plan

Tools, steps, wallet structure, backup structure, written instructions, and allocation guidance across Spending, Savings, and Vault.

Live Implementation Support

Live support to set up, practice transactions, and build confidence using your system.

A Yearly Notification System

Emergency Continuity

Clear written instructions and a direct point of contact so your spouse or trusted family members can recover and transfer Bitcoin properly if something happens to you.

Important: We never hold your Bitcoin. We help you structure and secure it in self custody.

We've been where you are.

Get started

Since 2017, we've guided individuals and onboarded businesses with different needs and risk profiles. We combine Bitcoin operational experience with financial and economic literacy to build custody systems that work in real life and remain recoverable under stress.

— Karen & Antonio

I didn't know what I was doing with Bitcoin. They showed me the hardware and protocol to hold it long term. It puts your mind at ease.

— Philip

Since holding Bitcoin I've been worried about losing it and forgetting passwords. Schelling Point helped me feel secure and safe.
