Cory Klippsten is an American entrepreneur, investor, and the CEO of Swan Bitcoin. A veteran of McKinsey, Google, Microsoft, and Morgan Stanley, he co-founded Swan Bitcoin in 2019 to provide a dedicated, Bitcoin-only accumulation platform. He is a prominent market commentator known for advocating dollar-cost averaging (DCA) and warning against high-yield cryptocurrency lending platforms prior to their industry-wide collapses.
- Automated Savings Rails Managed the implementation of automated dollar-cost averaging (DCA) payment integrations, connecting traditional ACH bank transfers directly to institutional custody architectures.

- Custodial Security Transitions (2023) Successfully directed Swan Bitcoin’s preemptive infrastructure migration away from Prime Trust in May 2023 to multi-custodian setups (BitGo, Fortress, and later Bakkt) prior to Prime Trust’s ultimate collapse.
