What did you end up doing? I’m in the same boat. I only have part of my stack with Swan, but they seem shady these days

I moved the IRA to Unchained...got multi-sig and I own 2 of the keys. Big sigh of relief.

I've purchased my last bitcoin through both River and Strike.

At some point, I'll probably engage Unchained's Sound Advisory - or the Bitcoin Way - for some tax and estate planning and perhaps consider splitting my stack to another multi-sig arrangement using something like Casa or OnRamp (would require more research before I could offer an opinion).

Looking at River and Strike to see if I can also move my small LLC Bitcoin treasuries over, too. I wish Strike had Bill Pay for businesses like they just added for individuals.

Hey, do you have opinions on Strike vs River yet? I’m trying to decide who to use for my normal DCA. Before, I was using Coinbase with custom limit orders since it was the cheapest I could find, but I want to support a Bitcoin only company moving forward

I'm still good with both and would probably continue to support both as Bitcoin companies.

- Strike interests me because of the Direct Deposit and Bill Pay options that would allow me to live on a bitcoin standard

- River has the Savings account earning 3.8%, so that it way above banks and credit unions for that 6-12 month emergency fund. No bill pay, though.

- Would lean in favor of the one that eventually offers different loan/credit options.

Another platform that I'm not using for DCA or smash style purchases, but am trying to incorporate into my daily/monthly routine is Fold. If you are a CrowdHealth subscriber, they also cover your Fold+ membership. Also, both Strike and Fold have extra sats-reward bonuses if you purchase gift cards.

I'm also monitoring for the best providers for small business. I think both Strike and River have business accounts, but Strike doesn't have the Bill pay setup for business accounts yet (only personal). So rapidly changing landscape of offerings, but both...as well as Fold...have stellar reputations and people who give back to the community through education and innovation.

Very helpful, thanks! Is the River savings account for Bitcoin holdings as well, or just USD?

BitcoinBadger 11mo ago 💬 1

You can have them custody bitcoin, of course. Otherwise, the only thing earning interest/yield is USD....they consider it a holding area for DCA funds, if you wanted.

Cool, I’ll check it out. Going to just set up DCA for both River and Strike. Might as well give both of them my business
