Bitcoin Investing + Estate Planning: The Strategy Most Investors Overlook

What happens to your Bitcoin if something happens to you? In this episode, Asset Protection Attorney Joe Seagle sits down with Lindsay Faust of River.com to explore how Bitcoin fits into long-term wealth planning, estate strategy, and asset protection. Lindsay breaks down why River.com focuses exclusively on Bitcoin, emphasizing its decentralized structure, fixed supply of 21 million coins, and its track record as a resilient digital asset. The discussion also highlights how Bitcoin differs from traditional fiat currency, particularly in its resistance to inflation and centralized control. They walk through practical strategies for investors, including dollar-cost averaging, maintaining a long-term mindset, and avoiding emotional decisions in a volatile market. Lindsay explains how River simplifies the process with recurring purchases, zero-fee incentives, and tools designed to help investors stay consistent. A key part of the conversation focuses on estate planning—an area many Bitcoin holders overlook. Lindsay outlines how River supports trusts and LLCs, offering a streamlined onboarding experience, secure cold storage custody, and a clear path for transferring assets to beneficiaries. The episode also looks ahead at River’s broader vision, including “banking with Bitcoin,” where users can earn interest, pay bills, and even direct deposit income while continuing to build long-term holdings. If you are an investor, entrepreneur, or professional holding digital assets, this episode offers a practical look at how to protect and plan for the future.
