Episode notes
Match Treasury Strategy With Custody
- Do pair any corporate Bitcoin treasury strategy with a custody plan and evaluate counterparty risk.
- Compare full custody, collaborative multi-sig, and insured custodial options before deciding.
Institutional Demand Will Decentralize Custody
- Institutional custody demand will grow as tens of thousands of companies adopt Bitcoin on balance sheets.
- That demand creates incentives for more institutional-grade custodians rather than consolidation at a single provider.
Proofs Of Reserve Will Become Competitive Edge
- Competition and attestation (proofs of reserves) will surface as custody providers seek advantage and clarity.
- This market evolution should reduce centralization risk and improve transparency over time.
