Your keys. Your passport.
Your sovereignty.

Our 5% advisory fee is calculated on the government fee or donation amount only, never on the total engagement cost. For example, Vanuatu’s government fee is $130,000, so our advisory fee is $6,500. This covers end-to-end application management, document preparation, government liaison, and post-approval support. There are no hourly rates or hidden markups. You’ll see a full cost breakdown in sats before you commit to anything.

Yes. BTC, Lightning, and USDT are our payment rails. Credit cards and bank transfers also accepted as needed. Fees settle via BitSettle. The Vanuatu file settles in BTC, Lightning, or USDT after compliance clearance. El Salvador’s government contribution settles in BTC or USDT only, direct to the government wallet; 21 CBI does not custody it.

It starts with a confidential inquiry where we assess your goals, budget, and timeline. From there: 1) we recommend El Salvador, Vanuatu, or a bespoke route, 2) due diligence is completed by the issuing country, 3) you provide the required documents and we prepare your full application, 4) the application is submitted to the government, and 5) upon approval, you receive your citizenship certificate and passport. We manage every step; you stay informed without doing the legwork. Vanuatu typically takes 30 to 60 days, while El Salvador typically takes 6 to 8 weeks. Bespoke timelines depend on the jurisdiction.

No adviser can promise approval. We pre-screen each applicant before submission, but the issuing government makes the final decision. If an application is denied, refund rules depend on the country and the stage of the file. We explain those rules before payment, assess alternatives if needed, and give you a candid risk view before you commit funds.

Yes. Both productized programs allow a spouse and dependent children to join the application, subject to each program’s eligibility rules. Parent and adult-dependent eligibility differs by program. Additional government fees apply by family size. We provide the full family cost breakdown before you proceed.

The firm is built and run by Adam Juchniewicz, CEO, 21 CBI: US Air Force veteran, LL.M. in European and Comparative Law from the University of Malta, over a decade at the US Department of Homeland Security on immigration policy, and stacking sats since 2020. This is not a firm that "also accepts crypto." It is a firm built by a Bitcoiner, for Bitcoiners, and 21 CBI practices exactly one discipline: Bitcoin citizenship, advised end to end. Citizens, not tourists.

Yes. Every route we advise on is a fully authorized, government-operated pathway. El Salvador and Vanuatu, our two productized programs, run under established citizenship-by-investment legislation. Jurisdictions we handle through bespoke advisory are vetted the same way, and we show you the enabling law before you commit. The passports issued are standard national passports with full citizenship rights.

This is one of the most common concerns for Bitcoiners pursuing CBI. 21 CBI prepares on-chain source-of-funds documentation directly. We work with exchange records, transaction histories, mining income documentation, and UTXO-level proof to build a compliant source-of-funds narrative that governments accept. Unlike traditional CBI firms, we do not treat Bitcoin wealth as a red flag. It is our starting point.

Generally, no. Most countries, including the United States, permit dual citizenship; acquiring a CBI passport does not automatically trigger any notification to your home country or affect your existing citizenship status. Rules vary by jurisdiction. During your consultation we walk you through any country-specific considerations relevant to your situation.

That is Exitly, launching Q3 2026. Renunciation requires a second citizenship in hand before the State Department will process the Certificate of Loss of Nationality (CLN), so the typical pipeline is 21 CBI for the new passport, then Exitly for the renunciation. Exitly is being built to manage the covered-expatriate analysis, exit-tax modeling, Form 8854, the embassy interview, and post-renunciation banking. If you are still on the fence about renunciation, the US Exit Tool on this site walks the math before you commit.
