Multi-Inheritance: A Breakthrough for Crypto Legacy Planning

The Foundational Upgrade for Fair and Secure Bitcoin Legacy Planning

Bitcoin has given people financial independence, but inheritance has always been a difficult subject. Until now, most crypto inheritance options were limited to a single heir or involved insecure workarounds. Families had to make unfair choices, and holders risked losing control by sharing private keys or trusting custodians.

BitInPeace has introduced multi-inheritance to change this. It allows Bitcoin holders to divide their assets among multiple heirs securely and with full flexibility, while staying non-custodial at every step. For the first time, inheritance in Bitcoin can reflect both real family structures and personal values.

Why Multi-Inheritance Matters

Inheritance should be fair, secure, and aligned with what a person values most. With BitInPeace, multi-inheritance brings that vision into Bitcoin:

• Fairness for families: divide Bitcoin among multiple heirs with custom percentages.
• Clarity for the future: allocations prevent disputes and confusion.
• Flexibility: update inheritance plans anytime as life changes.
• Non-custodial security: no key sharing, no intermediaries, no risk of premature access.
• Values-aligned legacy: dedicate a portion to causes or open-source projects if desired.

BitInPeace ensures that inheritance planning is not just possible in Bitcoin, but done in a way that respects self-custody.

A Tradition of Bitcoin Giving

Bitcoiners have often extended their wealth beyond family. Multi-inheritance makes it possible to embed this spirit of generosity directly into legacy planning.

• In 2011, the Bitcoin100 initiative brought together early Bitcoiners to fund nearly one hundred charities, distributing thousands of BTC that would be worth millions today.
• Between 2017 and 2018, the anonymous Bitcoiner known as Pine launched the Pineapple Fund, donating more than 5,000 BTC to over 60 charities worldwide, from clean water to healthcare.
• The BitGive Foundation, founded in 2013 by Connie Gallippi, became the first Bitcoin-only nonprofit and raised funds for disaster relief in the Philippines and Nepal.
• Save the Children became the first large international NGO to accept Bitcoin in 2013, paving the way for mainstream adoption of crypto donations.
• Supporters even funded the Edward Snowden Legal Defense, showing how Bitcoin could be used in censorship-resistant ways.

BitInPeace’s multi-inheritance feature makes it simple for holders to carry on this tradition by including community causes directly in their legacy plan, without compromising family security.

How It Works in Real Life

Multi-inheritance reflects real-life situations that single-heir solutions could not address:

• A holder can set 50% for a spouse and 25% for each child, updating the plan if the family grows.
• Another holder can assign most of their Bitcoin to family but allocate 5% to support Bitcoin open-source development.
• Someone else might give equally to siblings while reserving part for nonprofits that reflect their personal beliefs.

Every plan can be updated in minutes through BitInPeace, keeping it in line with life’s changes while remaining completely secure.

Expanding to Community Causes Together

At BitInPeace we know that Bitcoiners value both family security and community impact. To make charitable giving within inheritance planning easy, we are preparing to work directly with charities, organizations, and even individuals who align with Bitcoin values.

If you believe there is an organization that should be considered, please reach out through our platform. We will gather suggestions from the community and hold a poll to decide which charities or initiatives to add first.

It is important to note that this is not a direct donation happening right away. Instead, it is an option for holders to include a portion of their assets in their inheritance plan. These allocations would only be sent in the event of the holder’s passing, ensuring that their legacy continues to reflect their wishes.

The Next Era of Bitcoin Inheritance

Bitcoin has always been about self-custody. The principle of “not your keys, not your coins” ensures holders remain in control. BitInPeace’s multi-inheritance extends this principle into the future by making inheritance secure, fair, and purposeful.

• Families are protected.
• Values are preserved.
• Community impact can continue across generations.

The era of single-heir inheritance is over. With BitInPeace, multi-inheritance marks the beginning of a new chapter in Bitcoin legacy planning.
