Audit de souveraineté — Cryptobourgeoisie

Cryptocurrency Holdings 01

How is your digital asset portfolio currently structured with respect to custody?

Fully self-custodied across hardware wallets or multisignature arrangements, with no material exposure to exchange custody.

Distributed between self-custody and regulated custodians, with clear allocation rationale and defined limits per platform.

Held primarily on exchanges or third-party managed platforms for convenience or ease of access.

Cryptocurrency Holdings 02

What proportion of your liquid net worth is held in bearer instruments outside the conventional banking system?

Greater than 30%; a deliberate allocation reducing systemic exposure to centralised financial infrastructure.

Between 5% and 30%; meaningful positioning with an ongoing strategy to expand over time.

Less than 5%, or none; digital assets are observed but not meaningfully integrated into the portfolio.

Trust & Trustee Services 03

Do you currently hold meaningful assets within a properly constituted trust structure with independent professional trustees?

Yes; a jurisdiction-appropriate trust is in place with qualified independent trustees, a documented protector mechanism, and tested succession provisions.

A basic structure exists, though it may require review, consolidation, or updated professional oversight.

No; assets remain in personal name with no formal holding layer or succession structure.

Residency & Citizenship 04

How would you characterise your current residency and citizenship posture?

Multiple citizenships or formally structured residency flags, with a documented and maintained flag theory framework.

Single citizenship with one alternative residency option in place or a citizenship-by-investment programme under active evaluation.

Single citizenship and primary residency with no alternative options in place or under consideration.

Tax Advisory 05

How is your cross-border tax exposure currently managed?

Proactively structured across jurisdictions, with qualified international tax counsel engaged and an annual review cycle in place.

Managed domestically by a competent adviser, with international guidance sought when specific cross-border issues arise.

Filed annually by a local accountant with no international structuring, treaty analysis, or exit planning in place.

Foreign Property Ownership 06

Do you hold real property in jurisdictions outside your primary country of residence?

Yes; structured through appropriate legal entities with deliberate attention to tax efficiency, forced heirship exposure, and local compliance.

Yes or in active negotiation; though the current holding structure may benefit from structural or legal optimisation.

No; all real property holdings are within the home jurisdiction.

Foundations 07

Have you established a private interest foundation or equivalent vehicle for legacy, asset protection, or philanthropic purposes?

Yes; with a clear purpose charter, a properly constituted council structure, and integration into the broader wealth and succession architecture.

Under consideration or in early formation, with professional guidance engaged and a defined timeline.

No; legacy and philanthropic objectives have not yet been formalised into a structured legal vehicle.

Pensions & Retirement Planning 08

How is your long-term capital preservation and retirement income structured?

Through jurisdiction-diversified vehicles; QROPS, international pension schemes, or equivalent; with portability, currency diversification, and minimal institutional dependency designed in.

Primarily through domestic pension or defined contribution accounts, with limited consideration of international portability or structural optionality.

Informal or entirely ad hoc; no structured retirement vehicle or long-term capital preservation plan currently in place.

Wealth Management 09

How is your investable wealth currently managed and custodied?

Across multiple independent custodians in different jurisdictions, governed by a documented investment policy and with no single-institution concentration risk.

Managed by a single reputable institution or family office, with reasonable diversification across asset classes but limited jurisdictional spread.

Self-managed or fragmented across retail brokerage accounts without a formal governance framework or institutional policy statement.

Insurance Services 10

What is your current approach to international insurance and specialist risk coverage?

Comprehensive; including international private medical, portable life coverage, political risk, directors and officers, and asset-specific policies across relevant jurisdictions.

Adequate domestically, with one or two international or specialist policies supplementing standard coverage.

Standard domestic coverage only, with no international, political risk, or specialist insurance provisions in place.

Sovereign Marine Services 11

If maritime assets; vessels, yachts, or watercraft; are or may become part of your asset base, how are they approached?

Registered under a flag-of-convenience jurisdiction with optimised crew structure, VAT mitigation, and formal legal separation from personal exposure.

Domestically registered or held informally, with awareness that international flag registration is likely to become relevant.

Not currently held, or owned without specialist registration or structural consideration.

Aircraft Registration & Management 12

If aviation assets are or may become relevant, what is your current or intended registration approach?

Registered in an aviation-favourable jurisdiction; Isle of Man, Cayman Islands, or equivalent; with managed operations, crew structure, and VAT optimisation.

Domestically registered or under evaluation, with specialist counsel engaged for structuring analysis.

Not currently relevant, or held without specialist registration or jurisdictional structuring.

Cypherpunk Literacy 13

How would you characterise your technical understanding of the cryptographic systems you rely on?

Substantively literate; I understand cryptographic primitives, consensus mechanisms, key management assumptions, and the specific trust vectors in the tools I use.

Functionally informed; I understand what these systems do and their principal risk categories, without deep cryptographic fluency.

Surface-level; I engage primarily through interfaces and delegate understanding of the underlying systems to platform operators.

Cypherpunk Literacy 14

What is your current approach to communications security and operational compartmentalisation?

Systematic; encrypted channels, compartmentalised identities for distinct risk surfaces, and a documented threat model covering relevant activities and counterparties.

Selective; appropriate security practices applied in high-stakes contexts, though a comprehensive and formalised approach has not been implemented.

Conventional; I rely on default device settings and consumer platforms without operational security practices in place.

Jurisdictional Resilience 15

How resilient is your operational and financial life to an adverse regulatory event in your primary jurisdiction?

Highly resilient; banking, legal entities, essential professional services, and family logistics have meaningful redundancy across at least two geographies.

Moderately resilient; some alternatives exist, though one or more critical functions remain concentrated in a single jurisdiction.

Fragile; an adverse change in the home jurisdiction would materially disrupt financial access, legal standing, and day-to-day operations.

Sovereign Architecture 16

How would you characterise the overall coherence and integration of your sovereign wealth and residency architecture?

Integrated; custody, legal structure, jurisdictional positioning, tax planning, and succession are coordinated under a unified strategy, reviewed annually with qualified advisers.

Developing; several components are in place but the overall structure lacks full coordination, professional oversight, or a governing framework.

Nascent; individual elements may exist in isolation, but there is no overarching sovereign wealth or residency strategy.
