Relai Partners with Casa: Multisig Bitcoin Custody Solution Launched
On July 3, Swiss Bitcoin platform Relai announced a partnership with crypto security company Casa to introduce a new Bitcoin savings and security solution. According to the official press release, the solution aims to provide more reliable self-custody options for long-term holders. Adem Bilican, Co-Founder and CTO of Relai, stated: "Self-custody is at the heart of Bitcoin's promise. As our users continue to accumulate and grow their holdings over time, we recognize the need for long-term solutions designed for serious Bitcoin enthusiasts. Casa is the ideal partner – a sovereignty-focused and user-friendly solution. Together, we're helping users secure not just their savings, but their legacy."
Relai currently has over 500,000 app downloads, more than 85,000 active users, and total user investments exceeding $1 billion. These figures reflect growing user engagement with self-custody Bitcoin solutions intended for long-term use.
Multisig Mechanism Reduces Risks, Inheritance Feature Enables Intergenerational Transfer
Self-custody is a fundamental aspect of Bitcoin ownership, but it also comes with certain risks, particularly around long-term security. The partnership introduces a multisignature (multisig) custody option, which requires multiple keys to access funds. This setup can help mitigate the vulnerabilities of single-key storage. Through the integration, users who purchase Bitcoin via Relai will have the option to store their assets using Casa's multisig system. The offering also includes an inheritance feature that allows users to designate a beneficiary, adding a layer of planning for asset transfer across generations.
"Casa's mission is to maximize sovereignty and security in the world," stated Nick Neuman, CEO of Casa. "The best way we can do that today is by making sovereign bitcoin custody as safe and simple as possible. Our partnership with Relai will help people stack bitcoin and store it securely, for themselves and their families."
First Integrated Model Combining Accumulation, Custody, and Inheritance
According to both companies, the integration represents a first-of-its-kind model that combines Bitcoin accumulation with long-term custody and inheritance planning for everyday users. This means users no longer need to use multiple separate tools for buying, storing, and transferring assets; instead, they can manage the entire lifecycle through a unified solution. For long-term holders, this reduces operational complexity and the risk of asset loss, filling a market gap in self-custody solutions regarding inheritance planning.
