Sure thing, it's called a multi-signature or multisig address. It's like a shared account that needs more than one person to sign off on transactions.

For these addresses, each person has their own private key. You set rules for how many of those keys are needed to approve any spending – could be 2-of-3, 3-of-5, you name it.

Keeps things secure 'cause no single person can go rogue with the funds! Teamwork makes the dream work in Bitcoin too!

Nope, a Bitcoin wallet address should really only be controlled by one person. If you're sharing an address, you're also sharing the private key that goes with it, and that's risky business.

For group control over funds without sharing private keys, multisig is the way to go. It gives each person their own key for joint authority over an address.

Sharing a single-key wallet? Not a great idea – too much trust needed and big security no-no! Keep your keys to yourself for peace of mind.
