Why we built Liana Business: Bitcoin self-custody you can actually explain to your board

For years, businesses that wanted to hold bitcoin safely have faced a false choice.

You could hand everything to a custodian and trust they would not freeze, fail, or disappear.

Or you could improvise with wallets designed for individuals and hope your internal processes could keep up.

Neither approach works for a board, an auditor, or a regulator. That is the gap we built Liana Business to close. It is enterprise-grade bitcoin custody that combines verifiable ownership with clarity, compliance, and control.

The problem no one wanted to own

As Bitcoin adoption accelerates, more CFOs, compliance officers, and risk managers are being asked to oversee assets that sit outside the traditional financial system. Yet the tools available to them have not evolved at the same pace.

Custodians promise simplicity but hide risk. They abstract ownership, rely on opaque systems, and leave the business with full liability when something breaks. Retail wallets offer control but no audit structure, no governance alignment, and no recovery process if a keyholder leaves.

That tension has left many organizations paralyzed, caught between regulatory obligation and operational uncertainty.

We built Liana Business to change that.

Clarity instead of complexity

Liana Business brings policy-driven governance to bitcoin custody. It allows you to define exactly who can approve, move, or recover funds, and to prove it.

Every transaction, approval, and recovery event is logged and exportable, giving compliance teams the visibility they need without compromising security.

It integrates with standard hardware signers including Ledger, BitBox02, Coldcard, Jade, and others. It supports time-locked recovery for lost or rotated keys and provides audit-ready transparency that legal and risk teams can understand and trust.

For finance and compliance teams, it is custody you can verify, explain, and defend.

Built for the boardroom, not the backroom

When we designed Liana Business, our goal was not to make bitcoin custody more complicated. It was to make it explainable.

Most institutional custody solutions look secure until they are tested. Shared keys, opaque custody logic, and vendor dependence introduce failure points that no CFO or CISO can sign off on with confidence.

Liana Business removes those weak spots. It gives your organization direct control of its bitcoin with role-based policies, recovery by design, and zero reliance on custodians or vendors.

Your business holds the keys. Your board holds the clarity.

Open-source trust

At Wizardsardine, we believe transparency is a security feature, not a liability.

Our team includes contributors to Bitcoin Core and engineers who have published major vulnerability disclosures and research across the Bitcoin ecosystem. We have earned our reputation not through marketing, but through open, verifiable work that stands up to scrutiny.

Custody should never be a black box. If you cannot see how your security works, you cannot trust it.

Why now

Bitcoin is maturing. The conversations we are having today are no longer about speculation. They are about governance, capital allocation, and long-term risk.

As more institutions integrate bitcoin into their balance sheets, they need custody solutions that meet the same standards they apply to every other treasury asset: clarity, resilience, and accountability.

Liana Business exists to bring those standards to Bitcoin.

Because businesses are not just securing bitcoin. They are securing trust.

Availability

Liana Business is available now for organizations seeking a compliant, recoverable, and verifiable way to custody Bitcoin independently.
