What is the most secure way to hold bitcoin? Self-custody is essential if you want full control over your bitcoin. As the saying goes: "Not your keys, not your coins." But what is the most secure form of self-custody? Bitcoin custody comes down to who holds the keys. If you don't hold the keys, someone else does. Once you choose self-custody, the next decision is whether to use singlesig or multisig. Singlesig (single-signature) wallets require only one private key to control the bitcoin. While simple and easy to use, singlesig has a single point of failure, meaning if you lose access to the key, you lose your bitcoin. Singlesig wallets are popular (holding over 70% of all bitcoin), but they can feel risky. If the key is misplaced or compromised, funds are at risk. This has led to some seeking modifications for added security. Some singlesig modifications include making multiple copies of the seed phrase, splitting the phrase into sections, encoding it, or using multiple singlesig wallets. Each approach has trade-offs in complexity and security. BIP39 passphrases are one standardized singlesig modification. They act as a “13th or 25th word” added to the seed, creating a second layer of security. However, losing the passphrase means losing access to funds. Multisig (multisignature) wallets use multiple keys. For example, a 2-of-3 multisig wallet requires any two out of three keys to access the bitcoin. Multisig removes single points of failure and is ideal for secure long-term savings. Unlike singlesig, multisig wallets don't require all keys to be in the same place at the same time. Each key can operate independently, which makes multisig a preferred option for group custody or high-security storage. While multisig offers high security, it also brings complexity and higher transaction fees. Collaborative multisig solutions, like those offered by Unchained, simplify the process with support and guidance. For those new to bitcoin, collaborative multisig can provide an easier, safer way to manage keys without handling all the technical details alone. This approach can help with inheritance planning and other financial services. Which to choose: singlesig or multisig? It depends on your needs. Singlesig is convenient for smaller amounts and frequent transactions. Multisig is ideal for secure, long-term storage. Many choose both: multisig for long-term savings and singlesig for everyday use. Using them together can balance convenience with robust security.
