● This new feature will start to roll out next month and will launch widely in January 2025
● Bitkey Inheritance enhances control and privacy for Bitkey customers for generations until the very end: wallet owners have the ability to change their beneficiary selection at any time.

Bitkey, the self-custody wallet built by Block, Inc. (NYSE:SQ), announced today the launch of an inheritance feature for customers around the world that will start to roll out next month, and will be available to all Bitkey customers in January 2025. While people who hold the keys to their bitcoin have full control of their money, today's solutions don't offer a simple way to pass their bitcoin on to the next generation. Today, those who self-custody their bitcoin need to glue together multiple products, ask beneficiaries to remember long passwords, or leave complicated instructions that beneficiaries may or may not be able to follow. Now, Bitkey is introducing a safe and easy way for customers to make sure their bitcoin moves seamlessly into the hands of their loved ones. Access to Bitkey's inheritance plan will be initially included with the purchase of every Bitkey hardware device — including existing Bitkey customers — and it will make it possible for the funds held in a Bitkey wallet to be transferred to a designated beneficiary after the passing of a Bitkey owner.
