Casa Launches Self-Custody Crypto Inheritance Solution, Expands Beyond the U.S.

"If you view Bitcoin as a long-term hedge against the financial system, holding it inside that system is a non-starter," states Casa CEO, Nick Neuman.

Key Takeaways

  • Casa has launched a crypto inheritance solution that addresses the critical issue of Bitcoin and other digital asset transfer upon an investor’s death.
  • This solution leverages Casa’s multi-key vault technology to enable secure, conditional access for a designated recipient.
  • Casa’s inheritance solution addresses the challenge of lost or inaccessible private keys which has led to an estimated $140 billion in Bitcoin being unrecoverable.

While Bitcoin Spot ETFs have attracted nearly $12 billion in inflows, bringing a new wave of investors, they also highlight critical security vulnerabilities. The alarming fact is that the private keys for 90% of these ETFs are controlled by a single custodial provider. This concentration raises a significant question: In the event of a hack or an internal error leading to the loss of funds, what recourse will investors have? Given that neither the FDIC nor SIPC offer protections for such scenarios, and the institutions behind these ETFs provide no guarantees, the risks are palpable.

Self-custody solution provider Casa criticizes the reliance on these ETFs as a ‘worst practice.’ Echoing lessons from past banking crises and cryptocurrency disasters, Casa underscores a fundamental principle: without possession of the private keys, investors do not truly own their digital assets.

Nick Neuman, Casa’s co-founder and CEO, emphasized the importance of self-custody for securing generational wealth.

He pointed out that, despite their utility, Bitcoin ETFs cannot offer the security guarantees of direct ownership, especially for those viewing Bitcoin as a hedge against systemic financial risks.

“If you view Bitcoin as a long-term hedge against the financial system, holding it inside that system is a non-starter,” said Nick.

Casa now offers a secure alternative for direct ownership of Bitcoin and other digital assets, appealing to investors seeking to minimize long-term custodial risks.

Casa today introduced a secure inheritance solution for several popular crypto assets, including Bitcoin, ETH, USDT and USDC which aims to counter the concentration risk of ETFs and provide a failsafe for users to pass on their Bitcoin to the next generation. 

This solution, named Casa Inheritance, is aimed at addressing one of the most pressing concerns in the cryptocurrency space: the risk of losing access to assets due to misplaced or inaccessible keys.

Historically, the ownership of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins like USDT and USDC is determined by possession of private keys.

These keys, often stored in hardware wallets, are the linchpin of asset security but also a significant liability, with an estimated $140 billion in Bitcoin lost due to mismanagement. The story of a family unable to access nearly $200 million in crypto assets underscores the critical need for a solution to this problem.

Casa Inheritance effectively addresses this challenge, leveraging Casa’s multi-key vault technology to enable secure, conditional access to a designated recipient. This recipient can be a loved one, a trustee, or an estate executor, ensuring that digital assets can be safely and efficiently transferred without the usual hurdles and risks.

Casa’s technology employs a multi-signature security protocol, requiring authentication from multiple keys for transactions. This approach not only enhances security but also distributes the risk, mitigating the impact of potential threats such as hacks or physical loss.

Casa Inheritance broadens its reach beyond the initial focus on U.S. investors with substantial Bitcoin holdings. The service is now available globally, covering a wide range of popular cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin, such as Ethereum, USDT, and USDC.

The service is accessible through Casa’s Standard plan, starting at $250 per year, and includes a 3-key vault. The process is streamlined within the Casa app, where a member can grant conditional access and share encrypted keys with their chosen recipient. In the event of the member’s incapacitation, the recipient can initiate a transfer, triggering a six-month notification period for the member before access is granted.

“Casa is the simplest, most secure way for investors to truly own their Bitcoin, and our new Inheritance product ensures they can do so safely for generations to come,” Casa CEO said in a statement shared with AlexaBlockchain.

Casa has raised a total of $27.1 million in funding over 5 rounds. Casa closed its last funding round on May 10, 2022 – a $21 million Series A round led by Acrew Capital. Other backers of Casa include Positive Sum Ventures, Naval Ravikant, Scott Belsky, Avon Ventures, Stillmark, Tioga Capital, Castle Island Ventures, and Lerer Hippeau.
