AnchorWatch Trust Company has launched as a Nevada-chartered qualified custodian for Bitcoin, offering optional insurance of up to $370 million per client and a monthly fee cap of $10,000, The Block reported on October 19.

The company, known as ATC, began operations after the Nevada Financial Institutions Division authorized it to provide custody services. It is targeting fiduciaries, public companies, trusts and high-net-worth individuals that need a qualified custodian to hold Bitcoin.

Two custody models and a fixed-dollar fee

Under ATC’s flagship model, the company holds the keys required for qualified custody, while clients, trustees or executives can hold additional keys. An alternative model splits key control among ATC, BitGo in the US and CoinCorner in the Isle of Man, so no single firm can move funds alone.

Fees are set in fixed dollar amounts based on vault size rather than as a percentage of assets. Once a client’s monthly fee reaches $10,000, additional Bitcoin deposits or rising prices do not increase the charge, according to the company.

Lloyd’s-backed coverage in the client’s name

The optional insurance is backed by A+ rated Lloyd’s of London syndicates, with limits of up to $370 million per client subject to underwriting approval. Policies are issued in the client’s or entity’s name rather than pooled across the custodian’s client base.

Coverage includes violent coercion and kidnapping, as well as losses caused by fraudulent conduct by AnchorWatch that results in a loss of Bitcoin, subject to policy limits and terms.
