Bitcoin forces long-term thinking.
With that perspective, custody isn’t an afterthought — it’s a structural choice. The goal is resilience: maintain control, remove single points of failure, and stay aligned with the monetary principles that brought you to bitcoin.

Unchained is the leader in collaborative multisig custody and bitcoin-native financial services, securing over $12 billion in bitcoin for more than 12,000 clients — roughly 1 out of every 200 bitcoin sits in an Unchained vault.

The model is simple:

  • You hold two keys.

  • Unchained holds one.

This shared-custody framework blends institutional-grade security with the sovereignty of individual key ownership.

From that foundation, Unchained offers services for long-term bitcoin strategies: trade directly from your vault, access dollar liquidity through bitcoin-collateralized commercial loans, open a bitcoin IRA while holding your keys, or create business and trust accounts for multi-generational planning.

For elevated private-client service, Unchained Signature provides a dedicated account manager, discounted trading, exclusive events, and more.

If you’re building a durable bitcoin position and want a custody partner designed for that responsibility, visit unchained.com and use code TBL10 for 10% off your new bitcoin multisig vault.

  • In hindsight, we might have to adjust our baseline expectation of the slope of a support trendline. I’ll explain my hypothesis on applying the power-law instead of four-year cycles, and why this might be the key to understanding bitcoin’s future price growth.
