Casa is a self-custody multisig vault service for Bitcoin. It distributes private keys across multiple devices (e.g., phones, hardware wallets) under the user's independent control, eliminating single points of failure. Users manage keys and initiate transactions via the Casa App, leveraging multisig to authorize transfers. Casa offers key backup and recovery guidance but does not custody user assets, ensuring users retain full control. Its core mechanism relies on multisig addresses requiring a preset number of signatures to move funds, balancing security and usability.

About Casa
Casa is a bitcoin and ethereum wallet focused on security and privacy, offering self-custody solutions through multisignature (multisig) vaults. Its core business revolves around helping individuals and businesses securely manage digital assets using a 2-of-3 or 3-of-5 key configuration, where users control most keys while Casa holds one recovery key. The main value proposition is reducing single points of failure: even if one key is lost, stolen, or compromised, funds remain accessible and safe. This addresses common market pain points such as private key loss, hardware wallet failures, exchange hacks, and phishing attacks, which often lead to irreversible asset loss. In the past six months (2026-02-28 to 2026-08-29), Casa gained attention following the Coldcard hack, where over $83 million in bitcoin was stolen due to a firmware vulnerability. Casa's co-founder Jameson Lopp publicly emphasized that this incident highlights the limitations of "don't trust, verify" for average users and recommended diversifying trust across multiple hardware wallets and software applications. This event drove a notable migration of users toward Casa's multisig solutions, reinforcing its position as a robust alternative to single-device wallets. Casa also continues to educate users on key generation and secure storage practices, while advocating for multi-vendor hardware setups to mitigate supply chain risks. No major negative incidents involving Casa itself were reported during this period.
Casa was founded in 2018 by Jameson Lopp and Jeremy Welch to address the self-custody challenge of Bitcoin. Initially offering multi-signature vault services, it required users to manage multiple hardware devices, which was secure but complex. In 2020, Casa launched Casa App 2.0, introducing a mobile key and a recovery key managed by Casa, significantly lowering the barrier to multi-key security while maintaining non-custodial principles. In 2021, Casa obtained SOC 2 Type II certification, independently verifying its security controls, a milestone for institutional trust. In 2023, Casa expanded beyond Bitcoin to support Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens, broadening its multi-key protection to the wider digital asset ecosystem. In the same year, Casa introduced a Bitcoin inheritance solution, addressing the long-term transfer of digital assets after death, a critical gap in the industry. In 2024, Casa launched Casa Protocol, a significant shift towards true self-custody, allowing users to manage their keys entirely without relying on Casa servers, aligning with the cypherpunk ethos. Throughout its history, Casa has consistently advocated for the importance of multi-key security and user sovereignty, with its co-founders actively commenting on industry issues such as quantum computing threats and phishing attacks, reinforcing its thought leadership in the space.
