What Happens to Your Bitcoin If You Die Today?
Most Bitcoin is lost forever when owners die without a plan. Answer 8 questions to assess your inheritance risk and get a personalized action plan to protect your family's legacy.
Why Bitcoin Inheritance Planning Matters
An estimated 3.7 million Bitcoin are lost forever — roughly 20% of the total supply that will ever exist. Unlike a bank account, Bitcoin has no “forgot password” recovery. If the keys are lost, the funds are gone. Permanently.
Traditional estate planning wasn't designed for self-custody digital assets. Most lawyers don't understand seed phrases, hardware wallets, or multisig setups. And most families don't know where to start when a loved one passes away with Bitcoin.
The good news: with the right plan, Bitcoin inheritance is solvable. It starts with understanding your current risk — which is exactly what this calculator helps you do.
The 3 Biggest Inheritance Risks
No One Knows
Your family can't inherit what they don't know exists. If no one knows you have Bitcoin, it dies with you.
No One Can Access
Knowing about Bitcoin isn't the same as knowing how to recover it. Without clear step-by-step instructions, awareness isn't enough.
No Legal Framework
Without proper documentation, family disputes, probate delays, and outright loss become almost inevitable.
