The Real Risk

Most Bitcoin is lost long before it is stolen.

  • The threat is rarely a hacker.
  • It is an unexpected death.
  • A medical event.
  • A spouse who has never heard of a seed phrase.
  • Instructions that exist only in your head.

Most Bitcoiners have at least one significant vulnerability. Most do not know what it is.

If your family cannot recover your Bitcoin without you, you do not have a Bitcoin custody plan.

You have a Bitcoin dependency.
Who This Is For

This engagement is designed for Bitcoin holders who:

  • Have accumulated meaningful Bitcoin wealth
  • Self-custody or intend to self-custody
  • Have a spouse, children, or future heirs
  • Want confidence their Bitcoin can be recovered if something happens to them
  • Value long-term thinking over short-term speculation
  • Want to retain full control of their Bitcoin
What I Do

I am a Bitcoin Custody Architect. I help Bitcoin holders build a Family Bitcoin Plan.

My role is to identify vulnerabilities, reduce single points of failure, improve family preparedness, and create a documented plan that can survive the unexpected.

Not this

Financial advice. I do not tell you what to buy or sell.

This

Architecture. I help you design a system your family can follow.

Not this

A custody service. I do not hold keys or control assets.

This

A plan. A documented framework that puts you fully in control.

I help design the architecture. You hold the keys.

Think of Me as Your Architect

An architect does not pour the concrete. They do not install the plumbing. They do not live in the house.

They design the structure. They identify risks before construction begins. They help coordinate the specialists required to bring the vision to life. Bitcoin custody is no different.

My role

Design the architecture. Identify risks. Create the plan. Coordinate with your existing specialists.

Your role

Remain in control of every decision. Hold the keys. Choose your providers. Work with your lawyer and accountant.

And if your circumstances change in the future, you are welcome to return for a review, update or redesign.

Annual Review

A Family Bitcoin Plan is a living document.

Families change. Structures change. Jurisdictions change. Net worth changes. The amount of Bitcoin you hold changes. What was appropriate five years ago may not be appropriate today.

I recommend an annual review to ensure the plan remains current and relevant.

USD $1,111
Per year
  • Custody architecture review
  • Family circumstances review
  • Recovery process review
  • Inheritance review
  • Updated recommendations
  • Updated Family Bitcoin Plan

The goal is simple: to ensure your Bitcoin remains recoverable, understandable and protected as life evolves.

Why Jake

My father died suddenly when I was twenty.

What followed was seventeen years of learning what to do, and more importantly what not to do, with inherited capital.

Since discovering Bitcoin in 2015, I have spent more than a decade thinking deeply about capital preservation, self-custody, inheritance, risk management, and long-term wealth stewardship. I have produced more than 200 podcast episodes across multiple Bitcoin-focused shows. I have experienced significant drawdowns, difficult decisions, and the realities of protecting wealth across generations.

There are many people who understand Bitcoin. Far fewer understand inheritance, family responsibility, and what happens when life does not go to plan.

Because custody is not about hardware wallets. It is about ensuring your Bitcoin survives you.

The Clarity Guarantee

If, at the end of the engagement, you do not believe you have substantially more clarity about your Bitcoin custody, recovery and inheritance plan than when we started, I will refund every dollar.

No arguments.  ·  No complicated conditions.

Common Questions

Is this financial advice?

No. This engagement focuses on education, frameworks, custody architecture and lived experience. You make every decision.

Do I need to disclose exact Bitcoin holdings?

No. Percentages and broad ranges are perfectly acceptable.

I already have self-custody. Is this still relevant?

Almost certainly. Many people who believe they are correctly set up still have significant vulnerabilities.

Do you hold keys or take custody of funds?

Never. I do not hold keys. I do not take custody of assets. I do not execute transactions. I help design the architecture.

What about legal and tax advice?

I work alongside your existing accountant and lawyer and can refer you to Bitcoin-native specialists where appropriate.

Your Bitcoin is only as safe
as the plan around it.
