Before banking became software, it was relational. Financial institutions were built around accountability, continuity, and trust that developed over time. People knew who was responsible, where decisions were made, and who would still be there tomorrow.

At Onramp, we made a deliberate decision to build a national network of physical offices across the United States because secure Bitcoin custody requires those same foundations. Real people. Real offices. Places clients can visit, engage with, and hold accountable.

Secure custody at our scale is not a product you buy. It is a responsibility you enter. That responsibility is best carried by people who are present, accessible, and committed for the long term.

Bitcoin was designed as a decentralized system. We believe custody should reflect that structure. Our physical locations exist because responsibility should be distributed, not abstracted. Convenience matters, but it is secondary to trust.

Bitcoin Custody Is Not a Software-Only Problem

Bitcoin is natively digital, but custody operates at the intersection of governance, regulation, operations, and human decision making.

These are not theoretical concerns. They are real risk factors that must be addressed deliberately. Custody failures rarely happen because software stops working. They happen because ownership is unclear, oversight is weak, or responsibility is too diffuse.

Physical Offices as Operational Anchor Points

Our offices are not retail branches in the traditional sense. They are operational anchor points. Places where clients, partners, advisors, regulators, and others can engage directly with the people responsible for safeguarding Bitcoin.

A distributed physical footprint allows us to do things that purely digital custody providers cannot. It closes distance between decision makers and clients. It makes accountability visible. It treats critical processes as essential rather than optional.

What we consider essential includes clear ownership of custody decisions, in person advisory for high stakes outcomes, face to face verification when risk warrants it, and ongoing engagement with local institutions, families, and businesses. Trust is built through relationships, not dashboards.

Some signals surface in conversations and rooms long before they appear in data. Being physically present allows us to see those signals and respond accordingly.

Opening offices is not nostalgia for legacy finance. It is recognition of what durable financial systems have always required.

People in Places on Purpose

Each city in Onramp’s network exists for a reason. Together, they represent the layers required for Bitcoin to mature from a novel technology into a durable custody and financial system.

• Austin serves as our headquarters and keeps us grounded in builders and first principles.
• Dallas reinforces governance and institutional scale.
• Houston anchors custody in energy and infrastructure realities.
• Nashville reflects long horizon ownership and continuity.
• Denver contributes early understanding and experimentation.
• Minneapolis reinforces operational discipline and conservative execution.
• New Orleans brings lived experience with resilience and systemic risk.
• Philadelphia bridges Bitcoin and fiduciary tradition.
• Los Angeles reflects cultural adoption before institutions.
• New York and New Jersey engage regulation, capital, and legitimacy.
• San Francisco connects to the origins of digital finance and custody evolution.

No single city tells the full Bitcoin story.

• Builders without institutions stall.
• Institutions without culture stagnate.
• Infrastructure without governance fails.
• Ownership without continuity fades.

Bitcoin becomes durable only when all of these layers exist together.

Onramp’s network is intentionally distributed, intentionally local, and intentionally interconnected. It is designed to reduce single points of failure not only in technology, but in thinking, oversight, and trust.
