Best bitcoin white-glove services
Seven services offer a premium client tier, and they differ on what triggers entry (asset threshold vs. flat fee) and what's actually included. Unchained's Signature tier is fee-based ($4,500–$7,500/year) and bundles inheritance planning, two premium hardware wallets, and a dedicated relationship manager. AnchorWatch bundles white-glove service with its insurance policy. The rest are threshold-based and unlock by holdings size, with included services that lean toward OTC access and tax/treasury support rather than inheritance or custody setup.

About this guide
These comparisons are maintained by Unchained. We have tried to represent every service accurately and fairly, and where another service does something well that Unchained does not, we say so. Unchained appears as the reference point throughout because every page is built around a single question: how does this service differ from Unchained? That framing is why Unchained is more prominently featured, not because we consider it the default right answer for every reader.
