Bitkey 推出继承功能，将比特币安全地传递给亲人

Block, Inc.（纽约证券交易所股票代码：SQ）打造的自助钱包 Bitkey 今天宣布为全球客户推出继承功能

OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bitkey, the self-custody wallet built by Block, Inc. (NYSE: SQ), today announced the launch of an inheritance feature for customers around the world that will begin rolling 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.

加利福尼亚州奥克兰--(BUSINESS WIRE)--(美国商业资讯)--Block, Inc.（纽约证券交易所股票代码：SQ）打造的自助托管钱包Bitkey今天宣布为全球客户推出继承功能，该功能将于明年开始推出月，并将于 2025 年 1 月向所有 Bitkey 客户提供。虽然持有比特币钥匙的人可以完全控制自己的资金，但当今的解决方案并没有提供将比特币传递给下一代的简单方法。如今，那些自行保管比特币的人需要将多种产品粘合在一起，要求受益人记住长密码，或者留下受益人可能无法遵循的复杂指示。现在，Bitkey 正在为客户推出一种安全、简单的方法，以确保他们的比特币无缝地转移到亲人手中。

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.

购买每台 Bitkey 硬件设备（包括现有的 Bitkey 客户）将首先包含对 Bitkey 继承计划的访问权，并且这将使 Bitkey 钱包中持有的资金在 Bitkey 过世后可以转移到指定受益人所有者。

“With this inheritance solution, we are offering customers a safe and simple way for them to pass their assets onto the next generation”

“通过这种继承解决方案，我们为客户提供了一种安全、简单的方式，让他们将资产传给下一代”

"With this inheritance solution, we are offering customers a safe and simple way for them to pass their assets onto the next generation," said Jason Karsh, Business Lead for Bitkey. "Bitcoin is a multi-generational asset, and we think Bitkey should be multi-generational, too. We designed inheritance to be simple for beneficiaries to transfer, access, and manage their inheritance when the time comes.”

Bitkey 业务主管 Jason Karsh 表示：“通过这种继承解决方案，我们为客户提供了一种安全、简单的方式，让他们将资产传给下一代。” “比特币是一种多代资产，我们认为 Bitkey 也应该是多代资产。我们设计的继承方式是为了方便受益人在时机成熟时转移、访问和管理他们的遗产。”

How Bitkey’s inheritance works

Bitkey的继承是如何运作的

To set up inheritance, a Bitkey customer, or benefactor, can invite a beneficiary by initiating a message through the Bitkey app, which provides them with an invite link. As soon as the beneficiary accepts the invitation, the inheritance plan will be created. Beneficiaries can be removed or updated at any time by the benefactor, and will have no information about the amount of Bitcoin they are inheriting — as they are not able to view, access or control their benefactor’s Bitkey wallet.

要设置继承，Bitkey 客户或捐助者可以通过 Bitkey 应用程序发起消息来邀请受益人，该应用程序向他们提供邀请链接。一旦受益人接受邀请，继承计划就会创建。受益人可以随时删除或更新受益人，并且不会获得有关他们继承的比特币数量的信息，因为他们无法查看、访问或控制其受益人的 Bitkey 钱包。

A beneficiary can initiate an inheritance claim at any time. To protect against an accidental or fraudulent claim, there is a six month waiting period that must successfully complete before a beneficiary can access the funds in their benefactor’s Bitkey wallet. During this time, Bitkey will send benefactors regular alerts and notifications letting them know that a claim has been started. This provides them with an opportunity to cancel it before the waiting period ends. Initially, the inheritance solution will be limited to one beneficiary and require beneficiaries to set up a Bitkey wallet, which includes the hardware device and the app. To learn more about how the inheritance process works, visit the Bitkey help center.

受益人可以随时提出继承要求。为了防止意外或欺诈性索赔，受益人必须成功完成六个月的等待期，然后才能使用其受益人的 Bitkey 钱包中的资金。在此期间，Bitkey 将定期向捐助者发送警报和通知，让他们知道索赔已经开始。这为他们提供了在等待期结束之前取消的机会。最初，继承解决方案将仅限于一名受益人，并要求受益人设置一个 Bitkey 钱包，其中包括硬件设备和应用程序。要了解有关继承过程如何运作的更多信息，请访问 Bitkey 帮助中心。
