The majority of customer digital assets (Bitcoin) are held in our offline storage system (“Cold Storage”). Only a small portion of digital assets are held in our online wallet (“Hot Wallet”).

All fund transfers from Cold Storage to Hot Wallets are handled manually and require the coordinated actions of multiple employees.
