Asigna Secures $3M to Launch Next-Gen Bitcoin Multisig—Raising the Bar for Institutional Security
Asigna, a #Bitcoin -native multisig vault operator, has just raised $3 million in a fresh funding round led by Hivemind and Tykhe Block Ventures, with participation from Sats Ventures, Trust Machines, and several others. This follows Asigna’s earlier pre-seed round led by Portal Ventures, marking strong ongoing confidence in the team’s vision.
The capital injection will accelerate Asigna’s product development, particularly the rollout of its highly anticipated Multisig V2 upgrade. The new version aims to address critical security and usability needs for institutions, funds, and high-volume Bitcoin holders by making advanced multi-signature custody both safer and more programmable.
What’s New in Multisig V2?
The upgrade introduces a developer SDK, embedded application support, and a suite of new features—including customizable dashboards, BTC swaps, sub-accounts, advanced UTXO management, granular signer permissions, governance tools, privacy mode, and automated email notifications. The goal: to enable seamless and secure integration of multisig technology into both enterprise workflows and consumer-facing Bitcoin apps.
Importantly, Asigna’s infrastructure remains natively integrated with Bitcoin, completely eliminating smart contract risks that come with third-party solutions. Co-founder Vlad emphasized that, with #Asigna , multisig wallets will always remain accessible and secure—even if Asigna were to disappear—thanks to their direct Bitcoin-layer approach.
Broader Context: Institutions Entering Bitcoin
With Bitcoin’s market cap now around $2.2 trillion and DeFi’s total value locked exceeding $6 billion, there’s a growing need for secure, programmable custody at scale. Asigna plans to use its new resources not just to harden its core infrastructure, but also to enable clients to access Bitcoin-native yield opportunities through staking, lending, and DeFi integrations.
A Turning Point for On-Chain Security?
As Bitcoin matures and institutions move significant assets on-chain, the race for safer, more flexible custody is accelerating. Asigna’s Multisig V2 marks a step forward, but as the ecosystem evolves, the question remains:
Will institutional-grade multisig finally unlock the next wave of mainstream Bitcoin adoption—or will new risks and complexities emerge along the way?
