What Hodling does

Hodling SA is a Swiss-based financial services firm that provides non-custodial Bitcoin storage and advisory solutions for high-net-worth owners of large bitcoin balances. The company is incorporated as a Société Anonyme (Hodling SA) and headquartered in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, with infrastructure hosted in secure Swiss data centers. The core offering is a multisignature wallet service using M-out-of-N quorum configurations (such as 2-of-3 or 3-of-5), built on open-source software audited by the Bitcoin community, with no vendor lock-in thanks to support for multiple hardware wallets (Specter DIY, Coldcard, BitBox02, Cobo Vault) and BIP39/BIP174 standards compliance. Hodling SA holds at most one key in any client quorum, ensuring it cannot access or freeze client funds.

The company's product portfolio extends beyond multisig setup into complementary services. Bitcoin Concierge Services provide access to major Swiss exchanges, OTC trading assistance, a network of cryptocurrency experts, and inheritance planning. Customized workshops cover Bitcoin fundamentals, privacy, cryptography, and hands-on wallet setup. A Bitcoin Recovery service addresses lost seed phrases (up to three missing words), legacy addresses, outdated hardware, non-standard derivation paths, and accidentally deleted data. The firm is led by partners Darko Gasic (Master's degrees in digital currencies and finance) and Alexandre Poltorak (20+ years in free software and open hardware, Bitcoin consulting since 2016), with advisors Alexis Roussel (Bity SA co-founder, NYM COO, ARIF cryptocurrency expert) and Vincent Mignon (attorney and LEAX law firm founder).

Hodling SA generates revenue through a mix of professional services fees and outcome-based pricing. Multisig advisory, concierge services, and workshops operate on professional services pricing, while the recovery service charges a percentage of the recovered amount only upon successful recovery, with no upfront fee. Go-to-market is direct, consultative enterprise sales targeting owners of large bitcoin balances through email outreach and personalized engagement, with no intermediaries or resellers. The customer base is concentrated in a single high-net-worth persona segment, and the company maintains an active presence in the Swiss and international Bitcoin community as its primary marketing channel.

Core offering

Hodling SA designs, configures and supports non-custodial multisignature (M-out-of-N) bitcoin wallets for owners of large bitcoin balances, holding at most one key of the quorum so the company never has access to client funds. The wallet package is complemented by Bitcoin concierge services (Swiss exchange access, OTC trading assistance, expert network, inheritance planning), customised workshops on bitcoin security, and a bitcoin recovery service for lost seed phrases, legacy addresses and damaged hardware.

Product overview

Hodling SA offers a suite of non-custodial bitcoin storage and management services centered on multisignature wallet technology. The core product is the Multisignature Wallet Services, which requires multiple keys (M-out-of-N quorum) to access funds, reducing single points of failure. This core offering is complemented by Bitcoin Concierge Services (providing exchange access, OTC trading, expert network, and inheritance planning) and Bitcoin Workshops (covering Bitcoin fundamentals, privacy, cryptography, and hands-on wallet setup). The Bitcoin Recovery service rounds out the portfolio, helping users restore access to lost wallets. All software is open source and non-custodial, with infrastructure hosted in Switzerland.

Emerging players

• Coincover: Coincover provides wallet protection, recovery and disaster-recovery services for crypto custodians and self-custody users — adjacent to Hodling's Bitcoin Recovery line and its broader concierge offering.
• Swan Bitcoin: Swan offers Bitcoin financial services aimed at HNW clients including IRAs and treasury, overlapping with Hodling's HNW Bitcoin focus but more acquisition- and product-led.
• Specter Solutions: Developer of Specter DIY, an open-source multisig Bitcoin wallet that Hodling itself integrates and supports; competes as an alternative open-source multisig stack for technical HNW users.

Direct peers

• Nunchuk: Nunchuk offers multisig Bitcoin wallet software with collaborative custody features, appealing to the same self-custody-focused HNW and serious holder segment Hodling serves.
• Unchained Capital: Unchained provides collaborative custody and multisig Bitcoin vaults for HNW holders and IRA accounts, with concierge-style onboarding that closely mirrors Hodling's advisory-led model.
• Casa: Casa is the closest direct competitor, offering multisignature Bitcoin self-custody specifically targeted at high-net-worth individuals, with similar key-sharding and advisory positioning to Hodling.
• Wallet Recovery Services: Long-standing specialist in recovering lost bitcoin wallet passwords and seed phrases using outcome-based pricing — directly comparable to Hodling's Bitcoin Recovery service line.

Broad incumbents

• AMINA Bank (formerly SEBA Bank): Swiss FINMA-licensed crypto bank providing institutional and HNW custody, trading and lending — a regulated incumbent that competes for the same Swiss-based digital-asset wealth clients.
• Bitcoin Suisse: Switzerland's largest crypto financial services provider, offering brokerage, custody, staking and lending; overlaps with Hodling in serving Swiss-domiciled HNW and institutional Bitcoin holders, but with a much broader product suite.
• BitGo: Institutional digital asset custodian with multisig technology heritage and broad asset coverage; represents the scaled, regulated alternative to Hodling's boutique multisig advisory for large Bitcoin holders.
