When securing meaningful Bitcoin holdings, the method you choose matters. Multi-signature vaults provide protection, clarity, and peace of mind that single-key wallets, custodians, or complex cryptographic solutions simply cannot match. The strength of a 2-of-3 MultiSig vault is found in its simplicity, transparency, and resilience. It reflects sound principles of distributed risk and shared responsibility, which is why it is trusted worldwide by individuals, families, and institutions who understand Bitcoin’s role as long-term money.

Why MultiSig? Control, Resilience, and Practical Security

With a 2-of-3 MultiSig vault, there is no single point of failure. No one, not you, not SimplB, not any third party, can act alone. At least two keys must work together to authorise any transaction. This makes theft, mistakes, coercion, and loss significantly harder to achieve. It ensures that your Bitcoin can survive any single point of failure, whether through accident, fraud, theft, or death.

This structure is easy to understand, simple to audit, and proven in practice. Unlike opaque custodial services or complex cryptographic schemes, MultiSig offers transparency. You can verify your Bitcoin’s security at any time, on-chain, without relying on third-party software or closed systems.

Why Not MPC or Sharding?

In recent years, some companies have promoted advanced cryptographic solutions like Multi-Party Computation (MPC) or Sharded Private Key Infrastructure (Sharding) as alternatives to MultiSig. While these sound impressive, they add unnecessary complexity and, with complexity, more risk. Bitcoin rewards simplicity and transparency. These solutions move in the opposite direction.

• No True Self-Custody: MPC solutions often leave you dependent on a third-party service. Control is fragmented, but still reliant on infrastructure you do not own or operate.
• Opaque Processes: Unlike MultiSig, which operates directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, MPC solutions operate off-chain. This makes verification impossible without trusting the provider’s software and infrastructure.
• Centralised Risk: While marketed as distributed, MPC often concentrates operational control within one company. A breach, legal action, or technical failure could jeopardise your holdings without warning.
• Recovery Risk: If your provider disappears or changes its policies, recovery becomes difficult, if not impossible. Bitcoin that cannot be recovered is Bitcoin that is no longer yours.

Why MultiSig is Better

MultiSig does not rely on experimental technology, unproven theories, or someone else’s business continuity plan. It operates natively within Bitcoin’s protocol using time-tested principles. Your security is not tied to a startup’s survival or a proprietary system. It is fully within your control, clear and verifiable by design.

With SimplVault’s 2-of-3 MultiSig structure, your keys are held in secure, offline hardware wallets. These devices are immune to online attack, protected by strong passphrases, and stored physically by you or trusted co-signers. This gives you the simplicity and durability that Bitcoin ownership demands, without introducing avoidable risk.

What This Means for You

• Clear and Understandable Security: You will know exactly how your Bitcoin is secured. Nothing hidden, nothing complicated.
• Physical Security You Control: Hardware wallets are offline, in your possession, with backup processes in place. You are in control, always.
• Shared Responsibility Limits Risk: MultiSig means no single person can act alone. Theft, mistakes, or coercion become far less likely.
• Easy to Audit: MultiSig addresses and transactions are visible on-chain. Your auditors, fiduciaries, or heirs can verify what exists and how it is secured.
• Aligned with Bitcoin’s Ethos: True self-custody, distributed responsibility, maximum resilience. No need to trust exchanges, custodians, or experimental tech.

If you care about long-term security, family stewardship, or institutional responsibility, SimplVault’s MultiSig solution remains the most reliable and proven path. It is simple. It is secure. It is Bitcoin, done properly.

For wealth managers, fiduciaries, trustees, and financial professionals, Bitcoin brings both opportunity and responsibility. The question is no longer whether clients will hold Bitcoin, but how to ensure it is held securely, transparently, and in a manner that aligns with professional duty and regulatory expectations.

Multi-signature vaults provide a clear, structured, and auditable solution for managing Bitcoin on behalf of clients, family offices, or trusts. With SimplVault’s 2-of-3 MultiSig structure, fiduciaries can confidently meet their obligations, knowing the asset is secure, compliant, and future-proofed against operational risks.

Why MultiSig is Ideal for Fiduciary Structures

Unlike single-key solutions or custodial platforms, MultiSig enables distributed control. It ensures no single individual can compromise client assets and that security is embedded in the structure itself. This aligns with fiduciary principles of shared accountability, transparency, and reduced counterparty risk.

• Governance by Design: MultiSig enforces shared control through its structure. Transactions require cooperation, ensuring no single keyholder can act unilaterally. This supports clear, documented fiduciary oversight processes.
• Transparency for Audits and Reporting: MultiSig is Bitcoin-native and fully visible on-chain. This allows clear, provable reporting for compliance, audit, and governance purposes. Assets can be verified independently at any time.
• Succession and Continuity Planning: MultiSig ensures assets are accessible through structured processes, even in the event of death, resignation, or incapacity of a keyholder. This is crucial for trusts, family offices, and corporate structures with long-term mandates.
• Mitigates Internal Risk: No single person can transfer funds alone. This reduces the risk of fraud, coercion, or administrative error — protecting both the client and the fiduciary from reputational and financial loss.
• Professional Oversight with Client Ownership: Clients retain ownership of their Bitcoin. SimplB acts as a neutral co-signer, providing operational security without removing the client’s control of their assets. This aligns with regulatory expectations around custody and ownership definitions.

How SimplVault Supports Fiduciaries

• Clear Processes: SimplVault structures are built for clarity. From initial setup to ongoing administration and reporting, each step aligns with fiduciary best practices.
• Documented Policies: Governance policies are documented and agreed upfront. This ensures alignment between trustees, beneficiaries, boards, and service providers.
• Regulatory Alignment: Bitcoin held within SimplVault structures qualifies as a local asset under SARB guidance. Our processes meet FATF Travel Rule standards and provide clear audit trails.
• Operational Resilience: With SimplB as a professional co-signer, fiduciaries are supported through technical processes, key management, and emergency recovery — reducing operational complexity and risk.
• Client Protection: Clients remain protected through structured, secure custody. Assets are not pooled, rehypothecated, or exposed to counterparty failure, as is common with custodians or exchanges.

Why Wealth Managers Choose SimplVault

Fiduciaries need solutions that reflect their professional standards — secure, transparent, compliant, and robust. SimplVault provides these outcomes while respecting Bitcoin’s principles of self-custody and distributed risk. This strengthens client relationships, mitigates institutional risk, and positions advisors as informed leaders in the evolving world of digital assets.

Whether serving high-net-worth individuals, trusts, or institutional treasuries, SimplVault helps fiduciaries safeguard Bitcoin while delivering on their core mandate: protecting wealth with prudence and professionalism.

For families building wealth across generations, Bitcoin requires thoughtful planning. As a bearer asset, Bitcoin gives you ultimate control but also carries the risk of permanent loss if keys are misplaced or forgotten. SimplVault offers a structured solution for families and trusts to hold Bitcoin securely with clear processes for continuity, inheritance, and intergenerational stewardship.

By using a 2-of-3 MultiSig structure, families can share responsibility across trusted individuals, ensuring that no single person holds all the keys. This model removes the risk of a lost key or forgotten password compromising generational wealth. It offers peace of mind to those planning for their children’s futures while maintaining the fundamental benefits of self-custody.

How SimplVault Supports Family Legacy Planning

SimplVault allows families to design their Bitcoin security with succession and access in mind. For example, a family might structure a vault where:

• Key 1: Held by a parent, trustee, or responsible family member
• Key 2: Held by a child, trust, or next-generation family representative
• Key 3: Held securely by SimplB to provide professional oversight and backup

This structure allows seamless succession planning. Parents maintain control during their lifetime while gradually introducing the next generation to secure key management. If needed, SimplB can step in as a neutral, trusted party to ensure access and support. This design provides resilience against key loss, ensures business continuity, and eliminates the single point of failure inherent in basic hardware wallet setups.

The Benefits for Families and Trusts

• Reduces Risk of Key Loss: MultiSig ensures that one lost key does not mean lost Bitcoin. Families benefit from structured redundancy and clear recovery processes.
• Supports Generational Wealth Transfer: Bitcoin can be passed on through documented, auditable processes. Heirs are protected from being locked out or facing unnecessary complexity during a time of grief.
• Prepares the Next Generation: Involving younger family members with one key fosters education and responsibility while maintaining safeguards through the shared structure.
• Prevents Disputes: Clearly defined keyholders and documented processes reduce the risk of conflict between heirs, trustees, or beneficiaries in the future.
• Professional Oversight for Continuity: SimplB’s role as co-signer provides a backstop against mistakes, fraud, or technical failure. It ensures that even years down the line, the vault remains accessible and secure.
• Aligned with Estate Planning Structures: SimplVault integrates easily into wills, trusts, and fiduciary strategies. It delivers a practical solution for attorneys and executors managing estate settlements.
• Auditability for Trusts and Family Offices: Assets can be verified on-chain and reported clearly for legal, tax, and compliance purposes. SimplB provides professional reporting to support these needs.

Why Families Choose SimplVault

Bitcoin is long-term money. Families who understand this truth want solutions that reflect their values of stewardship, security, and responsibility. SimplVault provides a proven structure that safeguards wealth while simplifying succession and reducing operational risks. It allows parents to confidently build Bitcoin into their legacy planning without the fear of keys being lost, wallets being forgotten, or heirs being locked out.

Whether for trusts, family offices, or private individuals building generational wealth, SimplVault brings clarity, confidence, and continuity to Bitcoin ownership across the decades.

For the property sector, Bitcoin offers a new way to manage deposits, protect value, and streamline transactions – all while reducing risk. Whether you’re a landlord seeking long-term security, a tenant wanting inflation protection, or a real estate firm managing multiple rentals, a traditional deposit account no longer serves everyone’s best interest. SimplVault provides a compliant, auditable structure for holding deposits in Bitcoin – with clear protections for all parties involved.

By using a 2-of-3 MultiSig structure, SimplVault ensures that neither the tenant nor landlord can access the funds unilaterally, while still maintaining full self-custody and transparency. This structure prevents misuse, protects purchasing power against rand devaluation, and delivers peace of mind in an uncertain financial landscape.

How SimplVault Works for Property Deposits

With a Bitcoin Vault, each rental deposit is held in a MultiSig wallet governed by three keys:

• Key 1: Held by the tenant, giving them direct visibility and shared control over their deposit
• Key 2: Held by the landlord, ensuring accountability and a shared interest in the integrity of the funds
• Key 3: Held securely by SimplB as an impartial co-signer and backup, providing continuity and dispute support

This setup ensures that Bitcoin deposits are locked securely – with no single point of failure. If either party loses access or if there’s a dispute, SimplB is positioned to assist with resolution, always acting within the agreed terms of the vault agreement.

The Benefits for Landlords, Tenants, and Realtors

• Protects Value Against Inflation: Bitcoin retains purchasing power better than traditional fiat deposit accounts – giving tenants real financial protection.
• Neutral, Structured Control: The MultiSig model ensures no party can act alone. This protects tenants from misuse and landlords from non-payment scenarios.
• Reduces Legal Risk: All vaults are compliant, transparent, and include optional agreement templates aligned to lease terms, protecting both parties.
• Eliminates Deposit Holding Requirements: For landlords, this model removes the need to manage separate trust accounts or comply with interest-bearing deposit laws.
• Increases Transparency: All Bitcoin movements are on-chain and visible to all parties, reducing confusion or suspicion at end-of-lease settlement.
• Ideal for Property Managers: Real estate firms can use a simplified dashboard to track deposits across multiple units with structured reporting and client safeguards.
• Backed by SimplB’s Expertise: With SimplB as co-signer, you gain a professional partner who supports compliance, continuity, and dispute management – without holding your funds.

Why the Property Sector Chooses SimplVault

Traditional rental deposits are inefficient and prone to friction. Bitcoin deposits through SimplVault offer a legally sound, inflation-resistant, and technologically advanced solution – without adding complexity. Both tenants and landlords benefit from shared security, transparent control, and the peace of mind that comes from professional oversight.

Whether you manage one property or a portfolio of rentals, SimplVault offers a future-ready solution that aligns with your goals, your clients’ expectations, and the direction of modern money.
