Bitcoin gives you the power to hold wealth without permission. But most Bitcoiners stop short of building a plan that outlives them and ensures that wealth gets passed on.
You may have spent years mastering cold storage, multisig, backups, and best practices. But very few take the next step: creating a clear, confident inheritance plan for when they are no longer around.
That’s the gap AnchorWatch is built to close.
Why Traditional Inheritance Fails Bitcoin
Legacy estate planning was never designed for private keys. Wills cannot enforce multisig. Probate courts cannot locate a hardware wallet. Even detailed instructions can leave families paralyzed by doubt and fear.
We’ve seen it firsthand:
Technical setups no one else can use
Instructions lost or misinterpreted
Assets frozen in time because no one wants to make a mistake
Families burdened with uncertainty and irreversible choices
This isn't about carelessness. It's about using the wrong tools for the job. Bitcoin inheritance requires a new kind of solution, one that blends secure custody with accessible recovery, and personal control with professional support.
A Better Way to Inherit Bitcoin
Bitcoin inheritance is not just about protecting an asset. It is about passing on something meaningful, without sacrificing the principles that make Bitcoin worth holding in the first place.
What people really want is simple:
To hold their own keys today
To ensure their heirs can access their Bitcoin later
To do it without compromising on security, sovereignty, or clarity
That’s exactly what AnchorWatch is designed to deliver.
How AnchorWatch Solves It
At the core of AnchorWatch is the Trident Vault, a Bitcoin-natvice custody platform built with inheritance in mind.
While you're alive, you stay in full control. You configure the vault, define the access policy, and select trusted parties who can act on your behalf in the future.
If something happens, your heirs follow a secure, structured recovery path. Guided by AnchorWatch’s Inheritance Protocol, the process is simple and stress-free.
What makes AnchorWatch different is that the recovery process is fully insured, with up to $100 million in named coverage backed by Lloyd’s of London. If anything goes wrong, your beneficiaries are protected.
Your Bitcoin is not lost. It is secured, insured, and accessible when it matters most.
AnchorWatch Was Built for This
There is no other solution like it:
You hold your keys
Your Bitcoin is insured
Your heirs are protected
Your estate plan is future-proof
Whether you're an individual Bitcoiner, a family office, or an estate attorney serving high-net-worth clients, AnchorWatch bridges the gap between cold storage and real-world recovery.
Introducing Inheritance by Design
AnchorWatch has evolved into a full inheritance solution, purpose-built for estate integration.
Every Trident Vault includes a built-in Inheritance Protocol that enables time-locked, policy-driven access for designated beneficiaries, without compromising your sovereignty.
No treasure maps. No technical complexity. Just structured recovery and white-glove support, even for beneficiaries who have never used Bitcoin before.
Each client receives two critical documents:
An Attestation Document showing vault ownership, USD policy limits, Bitcoin inventory, and policy details. Useful for lenders or estate advisors.
An Inheritance Contract Letter, a plain-English guide that walks beneficiaries through what to expect and how to recover assets.
Inheritance is no longer an afterthought. It is foundational.
Built for Estate Planners and Trustees
nchorWatch integrates seamlessly into trust structures and estate plans.
We support both revocable and irrevocable trusts with flexibility built into the Trident Vault. Clients can name up to three separate keyholders on each policy, allowing estate planners, attorneys, or trust administrators to hold a key on the client’s behalf if needed.
This enables professional oversight without compromising client sovereignty. The time-locked, audit-ready recovery process is triggered by clearly defined events, ensuring beneficiaries receive access without uncertainty or delay.
With insurance backed by Lloyd’s of London and a compliance-first design, AnchorWatch provides a secure, professional-grade inheritance solution for fiduciaries, trustees, and RIAs.
Whether you manage Bitcoin directly or advise those who do, AnchorWatch brings continuity, clarity, and confidence to digital assets across generations.
