Who it’s for

Your SMSF and Bitcoin

  • 01

    Your SMSF already holds Bitcoin

    Review your custody arrangements, records and recovery plan.

  • 02

    Your SMSF is considering Bitcoin

    Consider how the fund would hold Bitcoin and document its holdings.

  • 03

    You're considering an SMSF

    Understand the work involved in holding Bitcoin through a fund.

Three questions

Records, key control and recovery

  1. 1

    Evidence

    What records of addresses, holdings and control would you produce if your auditor asked?

  2. 2

    Key control

    Will the keys sit with the trustees or with a third party, and what does each mean?

  3. 3

    Recovery

    If a device is lost or a trustee is unavailable, how would the fund recover?

I founded Arise Bitcoin to help people set up and manage Bitcoin self-custody. I’ll share what I’ve learned running my own Bitcoin-only, multi-member SMSF since January 2021, and answer questions about custody, records and recovery.

A Will Needs a Way | Bitcoin Self-Custody, Inheritance & Family Readiness

Captions and a transcript are available on YouTube.

A live discussion on the gap between legal authority and operational capability. A will can say who is entitled to act; the custody setup decides whether anyone actually can. The conversation covered family readiness, digital readiness, durable backups, recovery testing, ownership structures including SMSFs, passphrases, hardware wallets and what inheritance readiness looks like in practice.

  • Legal authority vs operational capability
  • Family and digital readiness
  • Durable backups and recovery testing
  • Ownership structures and SMSFs
  • Passphrases and hardware wallets
  • Inheritance readiness

Book a private consultation

No key access. No custody. Arise will never ask for seed phrases, private keys, passphrases or wallet recovery secrets.

This webinar provides operational self-custody guidance only. It is not SMSF, financial, tax, legal, compliance, audit or investment advice. Speak with your SMSF auditor, accountant or licensed adviser about your fund's obligations.
