Fortuna Custody X iBTC: Bringing Secure, Compliant Bitcoin Yield to Institutions

As institutional adoption of Bitcoin accelerates, the demand for secure, compliant, and scalable custody solutions has never been greater. Fortuna Custody is answering this call by providing institutions with a licensed and battle-tested custody framework—ensuring seamless access to digital asset management, trading, and yield generation without compromising security or compliance.

Fortuna Custody, a licensed Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in Ireland, provides institutions with a secure and compliant gateway to Bitcoin-based yield opportunities through its partnership with iBTC. This collaboration enables institutions to mint and custody iBTC with full regulatory compliance, unlocking secure Bitcoin staking and DeFi access.

Institutional Bitcoin Yield with Fortuna & iBTC

Fortuna Custody is the first licensed custodian to support iBTC minting and custody, allowing institutions to integrate Bitcoin yield strategies while ensuring security and compliance. With this integration, institutions can safely mint and hold iBTC, earn yield on their Bitcoin in a fully secure and compliant manner, and access DeFi staking opportunities.

A recent discussion between iBTC and Fortuna Custody reinforced a shared vision for secure institutional Bitcoin DeFi integration. Fortuna's support for Taproot aligns with iBTC’s infrastructure, making technical integration feasible. Additionally, Fortuna’s custody license provides an extra layer of security and transparency, making it a trusted partner for Bitcoin-yielding strategies.

For institutions seeking Bitcoin yield with regulatory clarity, Fortuna serves as the ideal product between traditional finance and DeFi by providing a secure, compliant, and scalable infrastructure.

Brian Elders, CEO of Fortuna Custody Solutions, commented:
"Fortuna is excited to partner with iBTC to provide institutional clients with a secure and compliant solution for earning yields on Bitcoin. Over the past year, the BTCfi ecosystem has evolved significantly, presenting a $2 trillion market opportunity. However, institutions require regulated partners to engage with these protocols. Fortuna is here to bridge that gap"

Bridging Institutional Finance with Bitcoin Yield

Institutions need more than access—they require security, compliance, and seamless integration with financial infrastructure. Fortuna Custody, in partnership with iBTC, delivers secure custody with direct access to Bitcoin yield opportunities while maintaining institutional-grade risk management.

As regulations evolve, institutions adopting secure and compliant Bitcoin strategies today will be best positioned for long-term success in digital finance.

About iBTC

iBTC Network's decentralized wrapped Bitcoin is a safer way to access DeFi with your Bitcoin. iBTC is backed by a network of leading node operators and merchants who self-wrap BTC into vaults on Bitcoin Layer 1 to provide liquidity to the iBTC Network. The merchant's signature on the multisig vault prevents network misuse without user consent, making iBTC the most secure wrapped BTC token.

iBTC can be acquired by retail users by swapping for it on popular decentralized exchanges such as Curve, Uniswap, and Balancer. Institutional users, on the other hand, can swap into iBTC through a trusted merchant in the iBTC network or mint iBTC following KYB.
