Bitcoin Treasury Legacy System Migration Service

We provide end-to-end consulting and technical execution to securely migrate your corporate treasury operations from legacy financial systems or outdated crypto custody to automated, secure Bitcoin platforms.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your Web3 application. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries, formal verification, and multi-stage audits to mitigate risk.

  • Token Standards: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and custom implementations.
  • Protocol Logic: DEX/AMMs, staking pools, governance systems, and NFT marketplaces.
  • Deliverables: Fully audited source code, deployment scripts, and comprehensive documentation.

We deliver contracts with 99.9% uptime SLAs and gas-optimized code, reducing your operational costs and technical debt from day one.

PROVEN METHODOLOGY

Our Migration Framework

A structured, risk-averse process designed for CTOs to migrate Bitcoin treasury systems with zero downtime and full auditability. We've secured over $1.2B in digital assets across 50+ migrations.

01

Discovery & Risk Assessment

We conduct a comprehensive audit of your current legacy setup (hardware wallets, multi-sig scripts, key management) to identify single points of failure and compliance gaps. This phase establishes the migration's security baseline.

Multi-Signature Architecture Design

Engineer a custom m-of-n multi-signature scheme using Bitcoin Script or PSBTs, tailored to your governance model. We implement time-locks, revocation paths, and hardware security module (HSM) integration.

Dry-Run & Simulation

Execute the entire migration process on Bitcoin testnet (or a segregated mainnet environment) with dummy funds. This validates transaction scripts, signer coordination, and failover procedures without financial risk.

Business Outcomes

Migrating your treasury to Bitcoin is a strategic move. We deliver concrete, measurable results that enhance security, reduce costs, and unlock new financial capabilities.

01

Eliminate Counterparty Risk

Move from custodial bank accounts to self-custodied, multi-signature Bitcoin wallets. We implement secure key management (HSMs, MPC) to give you full control over your treasury assets, removing reliance on third-party financial institutions.

Reduce Operational Costs

Replace expensive wire fees, account maintenance charges, and FX conversion spreads with predictable, low-cost on-chain transaction fees. Automate treasury operations to cut manual reconciliation time and overhead.

03

Unlock Programmable Capital

Deploy treasury assets into yield-generating DeFi protocols (e.g., Lightning Network, Babylon) or use them as collateral. We build the smart contract infrastructure for automated, rules-based treasury management.

Bitcoin Treasury Migration FAQs

Answers to the most common questions about migrating legacy Bitcoin treasury systems to modern, secure, and programmable infrastructure.

A standard migration for a single-signature or basic multi-sig treasury takes 3-4 weeks from kickoff to production handover. Complex migrations involving custom policy logic, integration with existing financial systems, or large-scale key generation ceremonies can extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones during the initial assessment.
