self-custody recovery & inheritance capabilities are LIVE in Electrum wallet

i’m the co founder of the company behind this new feature, AMA.

Proud that RITREK’s work is now part of the wallet that started my Bitcoin journey.

Electrum wallet now includes our plugin for recovery & inheritance of self-custodied bitcoin - without giving up control.

Self-custody is only freedom if it’s recoverable.

We’re getting there.

Why does this matter?
True financial sovereignty means you control your bitcoin-not just while you’re alive, but also if something happens to you.
Yet, most Bitcoiners have no reliable plan for recovery or inheritance.
That gap has left many at risk of permanent loss.

How does it work?
We designed a simple, user-controlled system with 2 pre-signed transactions.
They’re created upfront, stay offline, and only broadcast if needed.

What does this unlock?
It lets you set up a secure, flexible plan to transfer bitcoin to trusted destination - but only if necessary.
You keep full control today, with a safety net for the unexpected.
This is a meaningful step toward making self-custody truly resilient and reliable, like it should be. Curious? I’m happy to chat - DMs and replies welcome.
