BitVault launches Bitcoin self-custody app worldwide, backed by CHF 500,000 in funding
BitVault, a Lugano-based startup, has launched its Bitcoin self‑custody app globally, already serving a few hundred paying users and raising CHF 500,000 from a Swiss family office and a Canadian angel investor. The app uses multi‑signature, hardware‑linked keys, and configurable delays to secure Bitcoin while keeping private keys in users’ control, and its code is open source. The company plans a $1.5 million seed round in 2027 and aims to grow through B2B2C partnerships with wallets, exchanges, and family offices.
