AnchorWatch Launches Inheritance-Focused Bitcoin Vaulting Infrastructure

Inheritance First Infrastructure Enables Seamless Estate Planning with Time-Locked Access, Designated Beneficiaries, and Insurance Backed by Lloyd’s of London

Nashville, TN, June 17, 2025 — AnchorWatch, the leading provider of insured custody solutions for Bitcoin, today announced a major platform upgrade focused on inheritance. The new AnchorWatch Inheritance Protocol integrates time-locked recovery and designated beneficiaries directly into every Trident Vault, providing a secure and fully supported path for Bitcoin legacy planning.

Inheritance, Structured for Sovereignty

With this release, AnchorWatch becomes the first platform to offer self-custodied Bitcoin vaults that are both insurable and inheritance-ready. New features include:

• Designated Account Beneficiaries and secondary beneficiaries, with time-locked access enforcement
• Built with Trust Capabilities, supporting named trustees and estate structures
• White-glove support for non-technical beneficiaries during inheritance recovery
• Inheritance Protocol is powered by a secure recovery layer that protects assets and enforces access conditions
• No “treasure map” required; the AnchorWatch Inheritance Protocol enables beneficiaries to securely recover Bitcoin without technical knowledge, preserving full self-custody for the client.

Each vault provides clients with the ability to generate two legal-grade documents on demand to support estate continuity and estate administration:

• An Attestation Document that lists the policyholder, vault inventory, insured value in USD, and key policy information. This document can be shared with lenders, estate attorneys, or trustees.
• An Inheritance Contact Letter, a simplified legal instruction document for beneficiaries or trustees, explaining how to begin the AnchorWatch Inheritance Protocol to regain access to Bitcoin in the event of a customer’s death or incapacity.

Built for Individuals and  Trusts

AnchorWatch’s upgraded vault architecture also includes improved application flows for Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts, including the ability to list trustees and beneficiaries within Trident and configure custom access timelines.

AnchorWatch vaults are controlled by the client who holds their own private keys and are backed by named-policy insurance coverage up to $100 million per customer, underwritten by Lloyd’s of London.
