Bit Trust — Patent Filing GB2604176.4

Bit Trust is a system for managing digital identity and intellectual property on the Bitcoin blockchain. It uses the $401 identity protocol to cryptographically verify shareholders, protect IP assets via on-chain notarisation, and enforce access controls through verifiable identity strands.

The BCDT is the governance concept. Bit Trust is the implementation — turning statutory obligations (Companies Act s.113/s.116) into software.
