- The 80/20 Approach
A balanced and practical model for long-term Bitcoin custody.
Cold storage is essential.
But holding 100% of your Bitcoin offline concentrates risk in a single failure point. A better approach is not custody vs. self-custody, but a combination of both.
80% Cold storage
The foundation of long-term holdings.
20% with a custodian
Liquid, accessible, and positioned for growth.
Why not 100% cold storage?
- Self-custody protects against custodial risk
- Custody protects against physical compromise, coercion, device loss, disasters, or inheritance breakdown.
- Cold storage defends sovereignty.
- Custody defends continuity.
- Both matter.
- Where Gain Fits
