Ensure your Bitcoin passes to your loved ones securely. Plan for the future with multisig vaults, encrypted backups, and watch-only access.
Bitcoin is a bearer asset. Unlike traditional bank accounts or brokerage portfolios, there is no institution to call, no password reset, and no customer support line. If your loved ones don't have the right keys and the right knowledge, your Bitcoin could be lost forever.
Without proper planning, the very features that make Bitcoin powerful — censorship resistance, self-custody, and pseudonymity — become obstacles for your heirs. SatRyn gives you the tools to create a robust inheritance plan that preserves your sovereignty while protecting your family's future.
SatRyn provides the building blocks for a secure, self-sovereign inheritance plan — no third parties required.
Set up a multisig where one key goes to a trusted family member or estate attorney. A 2-of-3 setup means no single person can access funds alone, protecting against both loss and theft.
Store encrypted backup files in secure locations — a safe deposit box, a fireproof safe, or with a trusted attorney. Your heirs need only the password to restore the full wallet state.
Give beneficiaries a watch-only wallet so they can verify your holdings at any time without spending access. Transparency without risk.
Generate seeds with real entropy — dice rolls, coin flips, or screen drawing. Store seed backups in separate secure locations to eliminate single points of failure.
Document which addresses belong to whom, making it easier for heirs to understand your holdings. Label wallets, transactions, and UTXOs with meaningful names.
Heirs can verify the wallet code themselves, ensuring no changes or backdoors have been introduced. Full transparency from key generation to transaction signing.
Follow these steps to build a Bitcoin inheritance plan that protects your family without compromising your security.
Set up a multisig vault with trusted cosigners — a family member, estate attorney, or another trusted party. A 2-of-3 configuration ensures no single key can move funds.
Export encrypted backup files and distribute them across multiple secure locations — a home safe, a bank vault, and with your attorney. Redundancy prevents loss.
Write clear instructions for your estate — which wallets exist, where backups are stored, and how to restore them. Never include private keys or seed phrases in the document.
Provide beneficiaries with watch-only wallets so they can monitor holdings and verify the plan is in place — without any ability to spend or move funds.
Review your inheritance plan periodically. Confirm backups are intact, cosigners are still accessible, and documentation is current. Update as your holdings or family situation changes.
