Ledger exec predicts a Fortune 500 company could allocate 10% of its treasury to Bitcoin

Sébastien Badault, VP of Enterprise at Ledger, warned that large organizations “cannot have one person hold the keys,” driving demand for multi-signature workflows and sharded master keys.

Multi-signature workflows require several authorized approvers to sign off on each transaction, while sharded master keys split key access across multiple secure devices so no single person can move funds alone.

Ledger Enterprise combines secure hardware, software and a governance layer so clients define roles and signature thresholds that match institutional risk policies. “Our DNA is security,” Badault explained, “but enterprises also demand compliance and operational flexibility.”

Staking was an early use case. Ledger Enterprise integrates with staking providers such as Figment and Kiln to give companies choice without sacrificing security. Building on that foundation, the Tradelink service enables off-exchange trading with "no counterparty risk."

“There’s no compromise on security to achieve fluidity,” Badault said, noting that Tradelink was built in response to customer feedback.

He added rising interest in stablecoins, real-world assets and on and off-ramps will shape upcoming features. Crucially, Ledger Enterprise remains “the only true self-custody solution that exists in the market today,” because clients — rather than third parties — hold and shard their own keys.

Hands-on onboarding and global presence

Originally serving crypto-native exchanges and custodians, Ledger Enterprise now engages corporates, market makers, brands and government bodies — reflecting the platform’s versatility across sectors.

Onboarding is highly hands-on, with technical and account teams guiding each client through key generation, sharding and governance configuration to ensure secure deployment at scale.

Ledger maintains regional teams in the US, Europe and APAC and participates in regulatory discussions to safeguard self-custody rights.

Looking ahead, Badault predicts: “in 2025, there will be a big Fortune 500 company that will put five or 10% of their treasury in Bitcoin.”

As enterprises prepare to allocate substantial treasury percentages to Bitcoin, he believes Ledger Enterprise is uniquely positioned for rapid growth — delivering the security, services and compliance institutions require today and tomorrow.

As a sign of its broader ambitions, Ledger recently announced a sponsorship of the San Antonio Spurs, placing its logo on NBA jerseys next season, further bridging institutional-grade crypto custody with mainstream visibility.
