Institutions pay Bitcoin custodians for safety but face added risks due to centralized control models.

Institutions often rely on custodians to manage Bitcoin assets, paying high fees for perceived safety. However, Bitcoin's design eliminates counterparty risk through cryptographic keys and onchain governance, which custodial models reintroduce by concentrating control and risk. Traditional custodial insurance often falls short, and centralized custody can lead to failures and loss of access. Modern Bitcoin scripting allows institutions to enforce governance directly onchain, reducing risk and improving control without relying on third-party custodians. The article argues institutions should adopt these structural controls rather than pay for illusory safety.
