$200 Million in Custody Insurance
Your assets are held by sFOX, a qualified custodian with $200M in custody insurance coverage. That is not a vague claim. It is a specific, verifiable number.
This coverage protects against theft, security breaches, and unauthorized access. It is maintained by sFOX as part of their institutional custody infrastructure.
Many crypto platforms advertise "insurance" without disclosing the amount or scope. We believe you deserve a specific number.
Offline by Default
The vast majority of client assets are held in cold storage. Cold storage means the private keys that control your cryptocurrency are kept on devices that are not connected to the internet.
This eliminates the most common attack vector: remote hacking.
An attacker cannot steal what they cannot reach online. Only a small portion of assets remains in hot wallets to facilitate trading operations. This is the same approach used by institutional investors and major exchanges to protect large holdings.
Your Assets Are Not Our Assets
sFOX serves as the qualified custodian for all client holdings. This means your cryptocurrency is legally separate from BlockTrustIRA's business operations.
"If BlockTrustIRA disappeared tomorrow, your crypto would still be there."
In traditional finance, this is standard practice. A brokerage holds your stocks, but a custodian bank holds the actual assets. We apply the same principle to cryptocurrency.
This structure exists specifically to protect you. Your retirement assets cannot be used for our business expenses, debts, or operations. They are held separately, under custodial control.
No Single Point of Failure
Moving cryptocurrency requires a private key. Most personal wallets use a single key. If that key is compromised, everything is lost.
Multi-signature wallets require multiple keys to authorize any transaction.
Think of it like a safe deposit box that needs two separate keys turned simultaneously. No single person or device can move your assets alone. This protects against both external attacks and internal threats.
Even if one key were compromised, the attacker would still need additional keys to access funds.
Built for Scrutiny
We designed our security and custody infrastructure to meet regulatory standards, not to avoid them.
Qualified Custodian

IRS-Compliant Structure

Full Audit Trail
Every trade, rebalance, and allocation change is recorded and available in your quarterly reports. Complete transparency by design.
A Simple Test for Any Provider
Ask your current crypto IRA provider one question: What is your specific custody insurance coverage amount?
"Ask your current provider for their specific coverage number. If they can't give you one, ask yourself why."
If they give you a number, compare it. If they redirect, hedge, or change the subject, that tells you something important.
Our number is $200M through sFOX. We state it plainly because we believe you should be able to verify the security of your retirement assets.
