About Casa
Casa is a multisig self-custody service for individual holders that replaces a single seed phrase with 2-of-3 or 3-of-5 key structures. The mobile key lives in the phone's secure enclave and is encrypted to iCloud or Google Drive, hardware keys sit on devices from different vendors in separate locations, and Casa holds one recovery key that signs only after identity verification and a two-to-seven-day delay; keys stay with the user and the hardware, so the company cannot move assets unilaterally, transactions are assembled and signed on the device with the server only broadcasting, and inheritance and family sharing are built in.
The trade-off is a closed-source client that cannot be independently verified, a recovery delay unsuited to time-sensitive calls such as margin top-ups, and subscription costs paid upfront; the asset base has also widened from bitcoin to Ethereum and stablecoins, diluting its identity as a bitcoin-only tool.
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.
In May 2026 Casa hired Benjamin Ampen as global revenue head to push international expansion; in January CEO Nick Neuman said a growing number of large institutions over the past year need provable self-custody, a demand the firm serves with its Praetorian product for multi-party governance and staff turnover.
Subscriptions remain tiered at 3-key, 5-key and 6-key vaults priced between $250 and $2,100 a year, and now cover Ethereum and stablecoins alongside bitcoin, with buy and sell handled by Zero Hash under KYC. The company reports more than 40,000 clients, over $10 billion in protected assets, SOC 2 Type II and a team of about 35. With physical attacks on holders rising in 2026, Casa added emergency lockdown, video verification and duress procedures, and advisers complete six months of emergency training.
Future strategy and roadmap: Under global revenue lead Benjamin Ampen, Casa is expanding internationally, using its Praetorian multisig-governance and personnel-rotation product to serve family offices and institutions that must prove key control to regulators, while widening its vault tiers beyond Bitcoin to Ethereum and stablecoins. Next steps include selectively open-sourcing components, adding insurance partners, and strengthening physical-security features such as emergency locks, video verification and duress protocols for holders.
Nick Neuman is co-founder and CEO of Casa. He began in investment banking and private equity at Lazard and Sterling Group, spent time at Grab, and joined Casa around 2017 on the product side before becoming CEO in 2020, steering the company from hardware nodes toward subscription multi-signature self-custody.
Jameson Lopp, co-founder, owns security architecture. He was an engineer at BitGo, helped build the multisig infrastructure behind a large share of Bitcoin transactions. Jeremy Welch was the earlier CEO and left in 2020 for a product role at Kraken. After the Chamber team joined, its co-founders William Allen and Bryan Latten arrived as COO and CTO, giving a four-person layer of CEO, COO, CTO and security.
