Kresus, the self-managed wallet designed to simplify ownership of digital assets, today announced Kresus Inheritance.
With millions of bitcoins lost forever, Kresus’ new subscription service allows self-custody users to securely pass on digital assets after death.
This new service allows users to create a secure succession plan for their cryptocurrency holdings. It does not require sharing the private key nor complicated recovery procedures.
Self-custodial gives individuals complete control over their digital assets. But little of the supporting infrastructure provided by traditional wealth management has been able to keep pace. Beneficiary designations, ownership transfer mechanisms, recovery pathways, and long-term planning are largely missing. Each alternative requires a security vulnerability. Written seed phrases can be found. Keys shared early can be misused. Traditional estate planning can be expensive and complex.
“A lot of digital wealth has already been lost because there was no plan for what would happen next,” said Trevor Traina, founder and CEO of Kresus. “Self-custody doesn’t have to mean your assets disappear if something happens to you. With Kresus Inheritance, we give users a safe and affordable way to protect their legacy and ensure the wealth they’ve built can be passed on to the next generation.”
The inheritance costs $99.99 per year and is integrated directly into the Kresus wallet. The service allows Kresus users to designate a beneficiary to access the wallet only after a specified period of inactivity has passed. Private keys are never shared during the transfer process. Users retain full control of their assets while they are active. Kresus does not assume custody of the user’s assets. The owner of the portfolio remains in control unless a specified period of inactivity expires and a succession process is triggered.
An estimated 55 million adults in the United States, or 21% of the population, now own cryptocurrencies, according to a recent report. Harris poll study. After a Cremation institute study It found that 89% of cryptocurrency investors worry about what happens to their assets after death. Kresus Inheritance is designed to bridge this gap, giving users a built-in way to plan their digital assets before they are needed. A user with $50,000 in Bitcoin can now seamlessly designate a spouse or adult child as a beneficiary, with no access until a verified succession event occurs.
Inheritance builds on Kresus’ existing wallet business and infrastructure, which already serves millions of self-custodial wallet users through Kresus wallet, widget experiences, and enterprise solutions. It reflects Kresus’ broader focus on expanding the portfolio’s role into a full-fledged wealth management platform, anchored by tools like Inheritance that bring legacy planning directly into the self-custody experience.
