Introducing Hoseki: Turning Self-Custody Into Financial Power

Bitcoin changed what it means to own money. For the first time, individuals and institutions can hold wealth directly — without needing a bank, broker, or middleman.

But while self-custody gives freedom, it comes with a tradeoff: it isn’t legible to the financial system. If you hold Bitcoin in your own wallet, there’s no professional way to prove it. No title deed. No brokerage statement. No custodian record.

That gap has kept trillions of dollars in Bitcoin siloed. It’s recognized as savings, but not yet as financial capital.

Introducing Hoseki: Turning Your Self-Custody Into Capital

The Problem

When you want to use your wealth, institutions need verification. Homes have deeds. Stocks have statements. Bonds have custodian records.

Bitcoin? Today, the only option is screenshots. Risky, unprofessional, and impossible to scale.

If Bitcoin is going to be treated on equal footing with other assets, it needs a verification layer — one that works for self-custody as well as custodians.

Our Vision

Hoseki exists to close that gap.

We turn self-custody into financial power by creating professional, standardized proofs of Bitcoin ownership. Proofs that can be shared securely with banks, lenders, underwriters, membership platforms, and beyond.

With Hoseki:
- You don’t have to surrender your Bitcoin to make it count.
- Institutions get professional attestations they can trust.
- Bitcoin moves from being siloed savings to recognized financial capital.

What This Means

For individuals: you can hold your Bitcoin the way it was meant to be held — self-custodially — while still using it to unlock financial opportunities.

For businesses: you can integrate Bitcoin ownership checks into your workflows without relying on screenshots or blind trust.

For institutions: you gain access to a vast pool of capital that has been invisible until now.

What’s Next

This is just the beginning. Hoseki is building the verification layer that Bitcoin has been missing. Over the coming months, we’ll be rolling out products and features that expand this vision — from institutional integrations to tools for individuals.
