Acropolis Unveils Corporate Bitcoin Treasury Solution Built on Multi-Institution Custody

Written By Acropolis Team

Given the rapid increase in monetary supply, existing treasury management strategies often fall short of the shifting priorities of businesses, including the need to optimize working capital under multiple different cash flow scenarios. Acropolis was formed with the mission to simplify and scale corporate Bitcoin Treasury adoption worldwide. 

Every day, businesses from family-owned enterprises to large public corporations reach out to us at Acropolis. Inspired by the pioneering strategies of companies like MicroStrategy and Semler Scientific, these organizations want to integrate Bitcoin into their financial strategies but need expert guidance to navigate Bitcoin’s unique properties and treasury implementation.

Bitcoin, with its capped supply of 21 million, provides an asset that inherently resists monetary debasement, in stark contrast to fiat currencies which can be printed in unlimited quantities. This scarcity, combined with its decentralized nature, makes Bitcoin an ideal treasury reserve asset for businesses aiming to preserve capital and retain earnings over the long term. By incorporating Bitcoin into their treasury strategies, companies enhance their financial resilience, foster capital efficiency, cultivate a culture of fiscal discipline, and transform potential disruption into a catalyst for growth.

With decades of industry experience, Acropolis is here to guide your company through the adoption of Bitcoin, built on top of a custody solution that combines the ease of third-party custody with the strengths of self-custody multisig, but without the technical burden or risks of giving up unilateral control.

Introducing the Acropolis Bitcoin Treasury Solution

Our solution is built on three pivotal pillars, ensuring businesses can navigate the Bitcoin landscape with confidence:

1) Best in Class Custody via Onramp's Multi-Institution Custody (MIC)

We have partnered with Onramp, pioneers of the Multi-Institution Custody (MIC) model, which is a significant improvement over traditional Bitcoin custody models. MIC leverages Bitcoin’s native multi-signature technology to distribute risk across multiple institutional Bitcoin custodians, thus eliminating single points of failure. In this robust setup, three separate entities – Onramp, BitGo, and CoinCover – each hold one private key, requiring any two of these three keys to authorize transactions. This 2 of 3 multisig quorum not only honors the distributed ethos of Bitcoin but also meets the needs of compliance teams and corporate controls by providing a trust-minimized solution. 

You can find a detailed description of MIC here.

As Onramp’s exclusive treasury partner, Acropolis ensures your Bitcoin is stored with the highest standards of security while eliminating the technical burden of in-house key management.

2) Expert Advisory Services

Acropolis brings you expert advisory, education, and research. With insights from professionals with backgrounds in corporate finance, treasury management, Bitcoin, portfolio management, institutional investing, big 4 accounting, and big tech, we provide guidance that helps your business navigate Bitcoin's role as a modern treasury reserve asset. Acropolis offers tailored treasury management strategies for the unique needs of your business - taking into account your existing treasury, likely cash flows, and seasonal swings in working capital under multiple scenarios.
