Self-custody
cold wallets

With self-custody cold wallets, BitGo customers control two of three keys within a secure, offline environment rather than an internet-connected system.

Customers initiate and partially sign transactions offline, then securely transmit them to BitGo for countersigning, without exposing private keys at any point in the process.

FAQs

Who ultimately controls the private keys, and what governance model ensures no single point of failure?

With BitGo’s self-custody cold crypto wallet model, clients control two of three private keys, ensuring primary ownership and authority over digital assets. Transactions require multiple approvals, eliminating single points of failure and enforcing strong governance through multi-signature controls.

In a worst-case scenario (internal fraud, key loss, or disaster), how do we recover access to assets?

BitGo’s cold storage wallet crypto architecture is designed with recovery in mind. Distributed key management and clearly defined recovery procedures allow clients to regain access to assets, even in adverse scenarios, without compromising security or control.

How quickly can assets be moved out of cold storage if market conditions require action?

Cold wallets for crypto prioritize security over immediacy, but remain operationally efficient. Transactions can typically be completed within a defined timeframe, balancing offline protection with the ability to access assets when needed.

What threats is BitGo designed to defend against?

BitGo’s crypto cold storage wallet infrastructure is built to mitigate a range of risks, including insider threats, external attacks, and physical security breaches. Multi-signature controls, offline key storage, and hardware-backed protections work together to reduce attack surfaces and protect digital assets.

How do auditors and regulators evaluate cold storage and custody practices?

BitGo supports institutional compliance by providing audit trails, policy controls, and regulated custody structures. Cold crypto wallets are designed to align with jurisdictional requirements, enabling clients to demonstrate control, transparency, and adherence to regulatory standards.
