What is a Bitcoin Tontine?

A Bitcoin Tontine is like a private strategic reserve that provides you with a bitcoin-backed monthly income for the rest of your life.

It solves two key problems for Bitcoiners:

  • Earning more Bitcoin without lending to borrowers.
  • The Hodling Vs Spending problem.

You can create your Bitcoin Tontine by establishing a Tontine Trust Fund as described below.

Earn for hodling without lending out your Bitcoin

Bitcoiners seeking to earn more sats often turn to lending, but any yield comes from taking borrower risk. You're trusting a stranger to return your bitcoin and history has shown that this is not without risk.

TontinesTontines are one of the world’s oldest and most enduring wealth management strategies, using longevity risk pooling to generate gains beyond traditional asset performance alone.
Tontines provide lifetime monthly distributions to members for as long as they remain alive.


When members pass away, their unused assets stay within the tontine and are redistributed among surviving members, enhancing future distributions over time.

While this concept may seem novel at first glance, tontines have been widely used by mainstream savers for centuries for a simple reason:

by pooling longevity risk, tontines enable members to sustain a higher standard of living throughout their lifetime than would typically be possible if they held the same assets outside of a tontine.
enable you to earn more bitcoin by pooling longevity riskLongevity risk is the risk that you live so long that your savings run out. Research shows that between 60-70% of savers at, or near, retirement fear running out of money in old age more than dying..

As members of your tontine classA Tontine class is a category that tontine members are assigned to by the tontine trustees for the purpose of sharing their risk of living longer.

The trustees assign each member to these categories typically based upon similar life expectancies, sex and demographics.

When a member of a class passes away, whatever funds are leftover in their trust will be shared amongst the surviving members of the same class using our patented algorithms which are designed to ensure absolute fairness.
away and no longer need their payouts, their leftover bitcoin is redistributed within the class, boosting the balances of the survivors.

This bitcoin return requires no leverage and no borrowers—just the sharing of longevity risk among the tontine members.

The Hodling Vs Spending Problem

Bitcoin has historically rewarded long-term holders and penalised those who sell too early. A Bitcoin Tontine helps address this by combining Bitcoin ownership with longevity pooling.

As members pass away, their remaining trust assets are allocated to surviving members of the same tontine class. These longevity transfersThe strategic value of a Tontine is that you earn a type of return simply for staying alive longer than other members of your tontine class with similar life expectancies.

The WSJ's MarketWatch describes these longevity transfers as “a type of guaranteed ‘alpha’ not available in any other asset class.

Under normal circumstances, these gains arise slowly at younger ages but start accelerating over time as members of the relevant tontine class get closer to their life expectancy ages.

In times of war or pandemics affecting member of a tontine class, longevity transfers could arise sooner.
can increase the amount of bitcoin supporting your future income over time.

The Trustees manage distributions with the objective of helping your bitcoin last throughout your lifetime, taking into account expected longevity transfers and the long-term sustainability of your income.

Taken together, these factors enable you to spend now safe in the knowledge that you will receive more to spend later on.

What is a Tontine Trust Fund?

  • A Tontine Trust Fund is a private irrevocable trust administered by Tontine Trust as Trustee. Trust assets are held in segregated custody accounts for the benefit of the member.
  • Members may contribute as much or as little as they choose. Once accepted by the Trustee, contributions become Trust Property and are managed to support sustainable lifetime income. During the member’s lifetime, only the member may receive distributions from the Trust.
  • Upon the member’s death, any remaining Trust Property is allocated to other surviving members of the same tontine class, helping support their future income.
  • Members may choose from Trustee-approved reserve assets or allow the Trustee to select them. Monthly payouts can be started, paused or adjusted through the Tontine App, and members may choose from available Distribution Profiles to suit their income needs.
  • The Tontine Trust Fund Agreement governs the operation of the Trust and prevails over any information on this website or in the Tontine App.

References to ‘tontine’ on this site describe the longevity-risk sharing mechanism used to adjust trust distributions; distributions are made by the trustee in accordance with the trust terms.

Tontine Trust Europe KB (“Tontine Trustees” or the "Trustee") is a Swedish authorised trust management company. We provide fiduciary trust services, including the establishment and administration of irrevocable trusts and the management of trust assets, in accordance with applicable trust laws.

We establish irrevocable lifetime Tontine trusts for clients worldwide, except where restricted by local law.

Our fintech platform enables individuals to establish an individual Tontine Trust Fund efficiently and securely. The patented platform supports trust administration, asset selection, distribution modelling in accordance with predefined trust terms and applicable fiduciary duties.

Information provided on this website or through our platforms is general information only and does not constitute personal financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. You should seek independent professional advice before making decisions.

The selection of assets held within a Tontine Trust Fund is the responsibility of the member. Tontine Trustees is not responsible for outcomes resulting from a member’s asset preferences, except to the extent required by our fiduciary duties in administering the trust.

Trust assets are subject to market risk, and losses — including loss of principal — are possible.

Any illustrations or examples of lifetime distributions shown on this website or in related materials are indicative only.
Distributions from a Tontine Trust Fund are not fixed or guaranteed and may increase or decrease over time based on factors including asset performance, longevity assumptions, and the survival experience of members within the same tontine class.

Distribution estimates are generated using probabilistic and financial models that are regularly reviewed and adjusted to reflect changing conditions. Estimates are for illustrative purposes only and are not predictions or guarantees.

Redistribution on Death

When a Tontine Trust member dies, any leftover trust balance is redistributed among the surviving members of the same Tontine Class, in accordance with predefined trust rules governing survivorship-based allocation of beneficial interests. As a result, no trust balance remains for inheritance by spouses, children, other beneficiaries, or creditors.

Members who wish to provide separately for family members should consider establishing and funding separate trusts for those individuals.
