A strategy to avoid relying on a single #Bitcoin hardware wallet manufacturer?

Multivendor Multisig

A setup requiring 2 out of 3 keys to sign transactions; this way, if one wallet fails, the funds remain safe.

You can use hot or cold wallets for this, but you get the most benefit by distributing risk across hardware wallets from different manufacturers (hence the name "Multivendor").

It sounds great, but there are nuances worth noting:

It is more complex and involves more steps than setting up a single hardware wallet:

- Backing up all private keys
- Backing up the wallet descriptor
- A detailed manual for inheritance scenarios

When implemented correctly, you eliminate a single point of failure.
If implemented poorly, you could accidentally lock yourself out.
