# Verifiable Bitcoin Accounts

Verifiable Bitcoin Accounts (VBA) are how institutions use Bitcoin without compromise, enabling deployment into onchain lending and yield markets while preserving existing custody arrangements.

Built on Threshold Network's battle-tested signer infrastructure, Verifiable Bitcoin Accounts (VBA) is purpose-built for custodians, institutional allocators, asset managers, family offices, hedge funds, corporate treasury teams, and other organizations. It delivers segregated custody, verifiable UTXOs, direct access to onchain yield/ lending markets, and an optional legal framework. 

Every spending condition, recovery path, and migration rule is encoded in Bitcoin Script - verifiable onchain, and auditable by design.
