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 and fit review covering your goals, budget, family, and timeline. From there: 1) we identify El Salvador, Vanuatu, bespoke scope, or no current fit, 2) the appropriate paid screening call tests the recommendation before you retain the firm, 3) a written engagement fixes the scope, advisory fee, credit, and authority-specific payment schedule, 4) you provide the required documents and we prepare the file, 5) the issuing authority conducts due diligence and decides the application, and 6) after approval and completion of the required payments, the authority issues the citizenship and passport documents. 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. El Salvador and Vanuatu operate government-authorized citizenship pathways under their national laws. Approved applicants receive standard national passports, but citizenship acquired through naturalization or investment is not identical in every respect to citizenship by birth. Voting, public-office, residence, renewal, and transmission rules depend on the country and the applicant’s circumstances. We show you the enabling law and the material restrictions before you commit.

21 CBI prepares Bitcoin source-of-funds evidence for the selected authority’s review. Depending on the history of the funds, the file can include exchange records, transaction histories, mining income records, and proof of control. We connect those records into a reviewable narrative; the receiving authority decides whether the evidence satisfies its requirements.

That depends on your home country’s nationality law. Some countries permit dual citizenship, while others restrict it or require notice, consent, or a choice between nationalities. We identify the questions that need confirmation before filing; qualified nationality counsel should confirm the effect on your existing citizenship.

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.
