The question is no longer whether to pay attention. It is whether your family's wealth is structured to endure what comes next.
Every major fortune is, at its root, a bet on a monetary system. The families who built and preserved wealth across centuries understood something most investors today have forgotten: the medium in which you save matters more than the assets you pick.
For fifty years, the global monetary system has operated without an anchor. Since 1971, every major currency has been elastic — expanded at the discretion of central banks, diluted by political necessity. This is not conspiracy; it is mechanism. When money can be created without cost, it will be. The incentive structure guarantees it. And the result is a slow, persistent erosion of purchasing power that compounds across generations.
Bitcoin introduced a different architecture. A monetary network with a fixed supply, enforced not by institutions but by mathematics and energy. It requires no trust in any counterparty. It cannot be debased, seized, or inflated by decree. Whether one finds this compelling or unsettling, the engineering is not in dispute.
For families managing significant wealth, this is not a speculative position — it is a structural question. How do you preserve purchasing power across decades when the unit of account itself is being expanded? How do you build an estate plan around an asset class that demands a fundamentally different custody model? How do you think about tax efficiency, succession, and governance when the underlying asset is programmable, borderless, and bearer?
These are the questions we spend our days on. Not price. Not timing. Structure.
We do not advise on altcoins, ETFs, or fiat instruments. Our entire intellectual framework centers on Bitcoin as monetary infrastructure — not as a speculative asset.
First-principles monetary theory, Austrian economics, multi-sig custody architecture, estate law, and tax strategy — synthesized into coherent frameworks for families.
We optimize for decades and generations, not quarters. The families who engage us are thinking about grandchildren — not next year's returns.
Before portfolio construction, there is monetary history. The case for sound money is not ideological — it is empirical. Every fiat currency trends toward zero. The question is pace, not direction.
Read the guide →Bitcoin is not a trade to enter and exit. It is a savings technology — a way to move purchasing power through time without counterparty risk. Understanding this distinction changes every decision that follows.
Read the guide →Custody is not a technical checkbox. It is the single most important decision in Bitcoin wealth management. Multi-signature architectures, geographic distribution, inheritance protocols — each demands careful design.
Read the guide →Traditional estate planning assumes custodial assets held by institutions. Bitcoin breaks that model entirely. New structures are needed — ones that respect the bearer nature of the asset while ensuring orderly succession.
Read the guide →The tax treatment of Bitcoin is complex, evolving, and jurisdiction-dependent. Thoughtful structuring — timing of recognition events, entity selection, charitable strategies — can meaningfully alter outcomes across a family's time horizon.
Read the guide →We publish original research on Bitcoin wealth management for families managing significant assets. If this way of thinking resonates, we'd welcome you.
We believe technology is deflationary — that it drives the cost of goods and services toward zero over time. Sound money allows society to benefit from this abundance. Inflationary money obscures it.
We believe custody is not a technical detail — it is the foundation of sovereignty. If you do not hold your keys, you hold a promise. Promises have counterparty risk. Mathematics does not.
We believe wealth should compound across generations — not be eroded by monetary expansion, consumed by fees, or lost to poor succession planning. The families that endure are the ones that think in centuries.
We believe in first principles over consensus — that the right framework, rigorously applied, matters more than the comfort of agreement. Most institutional advice on Bitcoin is wrong because it starts from legacy assumptions.
We believe patience is an edge — that in a world addicted to quarterly returns, the willingness to think in decades is the single greatest advantage a family can possess.
The family office structure has existed for centuries — from the Medicis to the Rockefellers — as a vehicle for preserving and growing dynastic wealth. But the assumptions embedded in traditional family offices are products of a specific monetary era: one defined by custodial assets, institutional intermediaries, and inflationary currencies.
Estate planning for traditional assets is well-trodden ground. Trusts, wills, powers of attorney — the tools are familiar and the legal frameworks mature. Bitcoin introduces complications that most estate attorneys have never considered. How do you bequeath a bearer asset? How does a trustee manage keys they may not understand? What happens to a multisig arrangement when one keyholder dies?
In traditional finance, custody is an afterthought — you wire money to a broker, they hold it, you trust the regulatory framework. In Bitcoin, custody is the entire game. The history of this asset class is littered with losses — not from market declines, but from custody failures. Exchanges hacked, keys lost, single points of failure exploited.
