Almost every major crypto hack comes down to one thing: keys stored somewhere insecure, often online.
BitGo CEO @mikebelshe makes the case for offline storage with a simple comparison: a million dollars in a briefcase next to you is vulnerable to the room.
The same amount online is vulnerable to anyone, anywhere. That distance is exactly what offline storage is designed to create.
A fintech wants to support a new chain.
An investor wants to hold that asset.
A token project needs help managing its treasury and employee vesting schedules.
At most firms, those are three separate conversations, at BitGo, they’re connected.
Nathan Stump explains how the ecosystem team ties those pieces together, across the U.S., APAC, LatAm, and Europe.
A backup seed doesn't fix a single point of failure, it just gives you two of them.
A single-sig hardware wallet holds everything behind one private key.
Write that key down twice, store them in two locations, and the math doesn't change. One key lost, stolen, or compromised is still enough to lose everything it protects.
Institutions never accept that kind of risk, which is why they use hardened setups to remove the chance of a single point of failure risking their capital.
BitGo now gives individuals that same structure, for free.

There are 20.1M bitcoin in circulation today, and the protocol will never produce more than 21 million.
No vote, bailout, or emergency session can change that ceiling.
Compare that with federal debt at $40.4T and an M2 money supply at $23.3T, both still climbing.
Over the past year, bitcoin’s supply grew 0.8% while debt and M2 grew 7-8x faster.

BitGo Bank & Trust is the first custodian in @Kalshi Prime’s HODL Margining network.
Eligible customers can borrow USD against BTC, ETH, or eligible stablecoins to fund margin for perpetual futures without first selling, keeping legal ownership of their holdings, subject to Katalyst’s security interest.
Pledged digital assets stay in segregated qualified custody and cold storage at BitGo Bank & Trust, rather than moving to a third-party venue, so customers can put their crypto to work while knowing exactly where their collateral sits.

The biggest myth in Bitcoin security, according to @mikebelshe that one silver bullet solves everything.
Real protection means eliminating every single point of failure, multiple keys, multiple independent sources of randomness, even physical dice rolls, so no single flaw in a random number generator can compromise a wallet.
