Bitcoin custody and asset management for institutional and private wealth
Blockrise operates a Bitcoin-focused wealth platform combining custody, trading, and asset management for institutional and private clients. The tech stack signals infrastructure maturity—containerization (Docker, Kubernetes adoption), orchestration (ArgoCD, Flux), observability (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana), and compliance tooling (Chainalysis)—paired with active work on travel-rule implementation and resilient compliance systems. Active hiring spans engineering, legal, and design, reflecting simultaneous buildout of platform infrastructure and regulatory guardrails.
Blockrise is a Bitcoin wealth management provider based in Rotterdam, serving individual, corporate, and institutional clients since 2017. The company offers discreet custody solutions, trading, asset management, and inheritance planning services, positioning Bitcoin as a core long-term portfolio holding. Operations span compliance (travel-rule implementation, MiCA alignment, sanctions monitoring), custody platform design and engineering, and infrastructure optimization. Clients retain full ownership and control throughout all services.
Blockrise uses Chainalysis for AML monitoring and is actively implementing travel-rule compliance and MiCA-aligned resilient compliance systems to manage regulatory obligations.
The platform runs on AWS with CI/CD via GitHub Actions and GitLab CI, infrastructure-as-code via Terraform, and observability through Datadog, Prometheus, and Grafana. The company is adopting Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration.
