In the US alone, around 3 million people die each year. About 14% of adults own crypto, yet only 37% of US crypto holders have a plan to share wallet information in case they die. That means that about 264,600 people die annually without ensuring that their crypto can be passed to their closest ones.
3,000,000 deaths × 14% crypto ownership = 420,000 deaths involving crypto holders.
420,000 × 63% without inheritance arrangements = 264,600 cases per year.
When this happens, nothing alerts the blockchain. Funds are not frozen or flagged. They simply sit there, untouched, with no recovery path. If no one has the seed phrase, the value is gone for good.
This is one of crypto’s most overlooked problems. Self-custody works perfectly until it suddenly does not.
Bron Wallet was built to solve this. It enables on-chain inheritance, so you remain in full control while you are alive, and only if you become inactive does the protocol transfer ownership of your account to the beneficiaries you appointed. Your assets never move. No custodians ever touch them. And built-in protections ensure beneficiaries can never take advantage of you while you're alive.
If crypto is supposed to last longer than we do, inheritance has to be part of the design.
Self-custody should not end with death. With Bron, it does not.
