When you realize you need a bitcoin allocation in your portfolio, immediately you face a problem – one that usually goes unspoken. How do you get direct exposure to bitcoin in a manner that optimizes both efficiency and security?
Onramp’s collective experience in the Bitcoin space has proven to us that self-custodied bitcoin is the gold standard, and what everyone should eventually strive for. However, the technical requirements of self-custody lead many individuals and institutions to resort to poor alternatives with major drawbacks, like GBTC.
Over the past 5 years of onboarding thousands of HNWI, Family Offices, and Institutions to the ecosystem, we have learned that most individuals and institutions are not ready to manage self-custody at the beginning of their Bitcoin journey. The requirements of safeguarding cryptographic private keys demand new capabilities, decision rights, and organizational processes. It’s a heavy lift when you’ve only just begun learning about Bitcoin.
That’s why we built Onramp.
We solve for the three pillars of bitcoin ownership; we facilitate accumulation of the asset, we orchestrate the optimal custody solution, and we educate holders to appreciate the long-term signal value of the asset while ignoring the short-term noise that twitter and mainstream media propagate.
