Bitcoin Institutional Custody

NYDIG's institutional-grade bitcoin custody solution provides regulated, audited, and insured storage for some of the largest and most discerning institutions globally. The custody service is delivered through NYDIG's in-house custodian, which is chartered and regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services.

Regulatory Compliance and Security

NYDIG's custodian operates under strict regulatory oversight from the New York Department of Financial Services, ensuring the highest standards of compliance and operational integrity. The platform has undergone rigorous SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 examinations since inception, providing clients with independent verification of security controls and operational effectiveness.

Segregated Account Structure

Client bitcoin is held in segregated accounts, ensuring clear ownership and protection of assets. NYDIG does not rehypothecate client bitcoin, meaning assets remain dedicated to the client and are not used for other business purposes. This segregation provides an additional layer of security and transparency for institutional holders.

Institutional-Grade Infrastructure

As a market-leading custody provider, NYDIG serves major corporations and institutions with white-glove service and comprehensive support. The custody infrastructure integrates seamlessly with NYDIG's broader financial platform, enabling clients to access trading, financing, and treasury management services while maintaining secure custody of their bitcoin holdings.

Use Cases

NYDIG's custody solution serves multiple institutional use cases including corporate treasury bitcoin holdings, investment fund custody, bitcoin-backed lending collateral storage, and long-term strategic reserves. The platform is designed to meet the rigorous operational, compliance, and security requirements of regulated financial institutions and publicly-traded corporations.
