WBTC’s New Era: BiT Global Trust and BitGo Launch Multi-Signature, Multi-Jurisdictional Bitcoin Custody | Strengthening Wrapped Bitcoin Security | Bitcoin.com Interviews

About this episode

In this episode of Bitcoin.com Interviews, Dustin Plantholt explores the landmark partnership between BiT Global Trust and BitGo, which brings a multi-signature, multi-jurisdictional custody model to Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) — setting a new global standard for Bitcoin-backed asset security and institutional trust.

BiT Global Trust, a licensed digital asset custodian based in Hong Kong, specializes in institutional-grade Bitcoin custody solutions. Through this new collaboration, BiT Global now controls two of the three private keys used to manage WBTC, significantly improving decentralization and reducing single-point-of-failure risk. Together with BitGo, one of the most established providers of digital asset security and custody services, this initiative enhances transparency, resilience, and regulatory compliance for Bitcoin-backed token infrastructure.

This partnership represents a key step toward globalizing Bitcoin liquidity — ensuring that Wrapped Bitcoin remains both secure and scalable as institutional adoption accelerates. It also highlights how multi-signature, multi-jurisdictional frameworks can advance Bitcoin’s integration into the world of decentralized finance (DeFi) and tokenized ecosystems.

💡 In this episode:
• How BiT Global Trust and BitGo are redefining Bitcoin custody for WBTC
• The benefits of multi-signature, multi-jurisdictional asset management
• Why secure custody is essential for institutional Bitcoin adoption
• The growing role of Wrapped Bitcoin in DeFi and cross-chain liquidity
• How this partnership strengthens transparency and compliance in crypto custody

🎧 A deep dive into how Bitcoin’s security model continues to evolve — from self-custody to regulated, institutional-grade multi-sig frameworks driving the next phase of onchain trust and liquidity.
