Secured by three. Controlled by you.
Most of our clients held bitcoin for years before they found us, with single-signature hardware wallets, in collaborative custody, or on an exchange. Here’s what made them change, in their own words.
Before you decide
Yes, without a seed phrase or a device to find. You name beneficiaries in your account, and your vault can be titled to your trust. Your family inherits your bitcoin, not a treasure map.
Could your family recover your bitcoin without you? →
Most of our clients have done self-custody. They decided to open an Onramp account to address concerns they have about family access, ongoing key management, physical threats, and more. Many clients choose to diversify bitcoin custody, some in self-custody and the rest in multi-institution custody.
Moving from self-custody without giving it up entirely →
Three institutions protect your bitcoin: Onramp, BitGo Trust, and CoinCover. No one of them can lose it, move it, or use it. If one of them fails, Onramp included, you can still recover your bitcoin.
What happens to your bitcoin if Onramp goes away? →
Every withdrawal is confirmed on two separate video calls with two different institutions. You can also add withdrawal delays, monthly limits, and in-person verification with Onramp Guardian.
How Multi-Institution Custody protects against deepfakes →
Yes. Start a withdrawal from your dashboard, confirm it on two short video calls, and your bitcoin is on its way within 24 to 48 hours.
How Onramp withdrawals work →In their own words
He rolled his own multisig, with hardware devices in multiple locations. Nobody was going to get to that bitcoin. Then he realized that included his family.
Watch this if you've built your own setup and wonder who could use it without you.
When his child arrived, he couldn't keep most of his net worth hanging off a keychain in his pocket anymore.
Watch this if your plan works for you today, but not for the people who depend on you.
A hardware wallet, then metal seed backups, then his own multisig with pieces in bank vaults. Every setup felt like it would only work for now. This is the first one that doesn't.
Watch this if you're tired of wondering what your next custody setup will be.
“After years of managing my own keys, I finally sleep better knowing my family is protected.”
“With Onramp, the inheritance experience is meaningfully better. My wife doesn't need to figure out a Ledger or Coldcard if something happens to me.”
“The team is always very responsive when there is a question. Great foundation, and the interface, content, and terminal are all specific strengths.”
How it works
Three institutions protect your bitcoin. No one of them can lose it, move it, or use it, and nothing moves without your permission.
Multi-institution custody works like a bank vault that needs two keyholders to open: it takes two of the three (Onramp, BitGo Trust, and CoinCover) to move your bitcoin.
How Multi-Institution Custody works →Bitcoin for generations.
Pick a time and we’ll walk through how this would work for you and your family.
“One option is to use a key management service, a reputable company that assists you in cryptographically protecting your keys. Custodians where I know the people and have favorable opinions are: […] Onramp Bitcoin.”
