Bitcoin self-custody, kept working for decades
Your Bitcoin, reachable by your family — and by no one else.
You hold every key. We make sure they still work, and that your family could use them without you. No key of ours can move your Bitcoin.
No account, no payment. Platform access follows, by invitation.

Keystody at Bitcoin Amsterdam 2026
Keystody is at Bitcoin Amsterdam 2026, 5–6 November at the SugarFactory, with a booth, the founder, and a ten-minute readiness check for anyone who brings their questions.
The question nobody likes
If something happened to you this week, could your partner reach your Bitcoin?
Most people have a hardware wallet and a note in a drawer. When families actually try to use those notes, most attempts fail: the device is unfamiliar, the words don’t match, nobody knows who to call. Written instructions are not a plan. A rehearsed recovery is.
The platform
Software for the years after setup.
Setting up is the easy part. Keystody is built for year three and year ten: it tracks whether each key still works, whether your backups are confirmed, and whether your family could still recover.
Which describes you?
One question decides what you need.
Pick the closest one and the form below asks only what matters for it.
- Holder
I hold Bitcoin and want it done properly
A setup you understand, verified on your own devices, with software checking it still works next year.
Tell us about your situation - Household
We're a household and want continuity
One person understands it today. Make sure the others could use it, without learning Bitcoin.
Tell us about your household - Helper
I'm helping a parent, friend or client
Set them up, hold a key for them if they want, and be the person they call. You never hold their Bitcoin.
Tell us who you're helping - Business
I run a business or family office
Roles, named key holders and an activity log around a treasury nobody can move alone.
Request a scoping call
Not sure you need any of this yet?
Many people don’t, or not yet. A free 15-minute call tells you honestly what fits your situation, including when a single hardware wallet done properly is the right answer.
How it works
Set up with you. Rehearsed with your family. Kept healthy by software.
First, always
A free 15-minute call
We hear what you have and what worries you, and say what fits, even when the answer is a single hardware wallet done properly, or nothing to change at all.
Then, what fits
Nothing to change, or a setup shaped with you
Not everyone needs three keys. After the call you get our recommendation in writing: no change at all, one hardware wallet set up properly, or a Vault Day for a household whose family should be able to reach it without them. One session or several, quoted after the call.
Then, for years
Kept healthy by software
Keystody checks your keys, reminds you before something lapses, and keeps your recovery kit ready to download whenever you want it.
After the call
Either nothing needs to change, or we shape a setup with you.
Scope and time depend on your devices and your situation, so the setup is quoted after the call: one fixed price, agreed before we start. No hourly billing.
Already sound
Nothing to change
Sometimes a single hardware wallet with a tested backup is the right answer, and you already have it. We say so, in writing, and that's the end of it.
In writing, after the call
After the call you get our recommendation in writing: what you have, what we'd change, and why, even if the answer is nothing.
The Recovery-proof guarantee
Every setup ends with you recovering a test amount using only your backup and your recovery kit. If you can't, the day is free.
Something should change
A setup, shaped with you
At your home or online · one session or several
One key or three, one afternoon or a few sessions: we recommend what fits your holdings, your devices and your family, and shape the work with you. Every setup ends the same way: your addresses verified on your own screens, a backup you have tested yourself, and a recovery plan the people around you can follow.
- One key, done properly
- A single hardware wallet set up without mistakes, a backup you have tested, a written recovery plan your partner can follow.
- Three keys for a household: the Vault Day
- A vault where any two of three keys can spend, set up on your own devices. You make a first spend, then recover from your backup alone. Your partner or child rehearses the one thing they need to do. The first year of the platform is included.
You leave with a setup that works and that you have already recovered once, and a recovery kit in hand.
No key of ours can move your Bitcoin
Today we hold none at all; by design, none could ever spend alone. Check the policy.
Recover without us
Your recovery file opens in standard wallet software. The guide.
Nothing locks if you stop paying
Reminders stop. Your Bitcoin and your recovery file don’t.

Questions people ask first
Straight answers.
Today, no: every key is on devices you or people you choose hold, and no vault in production has ever contained a key we controlled. If we ever offer an optional recovery key, it will be built so it can never move funds on its own, and we will publish exactly how before anyone uses it.
Start with a conversation, not a commitment.
Tell us what you have and what worries you. We'll tell you what fits, even when the answer is "less than you think".
