Wealth99 is the platform Darren Bartsch uses and recommends for cautious, long-term investors who want access to Bitcoin, tokenised precious metals, and digital assets — with institutional-grade security, an Australian Financial Services Licence, and real human support.
No obligation. Darren is available to guide you through every step of the process.
The most common mistake new investors make is opening an account before they truly understand what they are doing. Darren's free lesson hub was built to solve exactly that problem.
14 short, plain-English lessons covering everything from “What is Bitcoin?” to “How do I hold digital assets in my SMSF?” — written specifically for property investors and SMSF holders who are new to this space.
No sign-up required. No email gate. No credit card. Just open, honest education — because an informed investor is a confident investor.
🎓 Enter the Free Lesson Hub →Most crypto platforms are built for traders — people who want to move fast, take big risks, and chase short-term gains. Wealth99 was built for a completely different type of investor.
It was designed for people who think in decades, not days. People who own property, have an SMSF, and want to add a small, strategic allocation to digital assets without the chaos, the jargon, or the sleepless nights.
Wealth99 is the only Australian platform that combines a licensed AFSL structure, institutional-grade insured custody, tokenised precious metals, and free dedicated specialist support — all in one place.
As your Wealth99 Specialist, Darren is here to guide you through every step — from opening your account to understanding your portfolio — in plain English, at your pace.
Wealth99 has spent over five years building a platform that solves the real problems cautious investors face when entering the digital asset space.
Wealth99 blocks all crypto withdrawals from the platform. Funds can only be withdrawn as fiat currency to your verified bank account — making it virtually impossible for scammers to steal your assets.
Your digital assets are held by Zodia Custody — a bank-backed, institutionally insured custodian used by some of the world's largest financial firms. Not a software wallet. Not an exchange. A licensed vault.
Access Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other leading cryptocurrencies alongside tokenised gold, silver, and platinum — all on one platform. True diversification beyond traditional stocks and bonds.
Wealth99 is specifically designed to work with Self-Managed Super Funds. The platform structure, reporting, and custody arrangements are built to satisfy SMSF trustee and auditor requirements.
The platform integrates directly with Australia's leading crypto tax tools — Syla, Koinly, and Crypto Tax Calculator — making your annual tax reporting straightforward and accurate.
Unlike most platforms that leave you to figure things out alone, Wealth99 provides free access to a dedicated specialist. Darren Bartsch is your personal guide — available to answer every question.
Wealth99 gives you access to a carefully curated selection of assets — not hundreds of speculative tokens, but a focused range of proven, liquid investments.
The world's largest and most established digital asset. Now held by institutional investors, ETFs, and sovereign wealth funds.
The leading smart contract platform powering much of the digital economy. The second-largest digital asset by market capitalisation.
Own real, physical gold through digital tokens. Each token is backed 100% by physical gold held in secure, audited vaults.
The same security and simplicity as tokenised gold, applied to silver — a key industrial and precious metal with strong long-term demand.
Access to one of the world's rarest precious metals. Platinum is increasingly in demand for clean energy applications and industrial use.
One of the most established digital assets — built for fast, low-cost global transactions and increasingly adopted by major financial institutions worldwide.
A curated selection of established, liquid cryptocurrencies — chosen for stability and long-term potential, not speculation.
One of the most common questions Darren hears is: "How do I know my money is safe?" It is the right question to ask. Here is exactly how Wealth99 answers it.
Most crypto platforms offer basic software security. Wealth99 goes significantly further — combining regulatory accountability with institutional-grade insured custody that is used by the world's largest banks and investment firms. This is the same level of protection that was previously only available to institutional investors with millions of dollars. Wealth99 has made it accessible to everyday Australians.
Wealth99 operates as a Corporate Authorised Representative under an Australian Financial Services Licence — holding it to the same professional standards, conduct requirements, and governance obligations as a traditional financial firm. This is not required for crypto platforms, but Wealth99 chose this path deliberately.
Your digital assets are held by Zodia Custody — a subsidiary of Standard Chartered Bank, one of the world's largest financial institutions. Zodia provides insured, institutional-grade custody used by major investment funds globally. This is not a software wallet. It is a licensed, audited vault.
Wealth99 Australia does not allow crypto withdrawals. All funds can only be withdrawn as Australian dollars to your verified, whitelisted bank account. This single design decision eliminates the most common method scammers use to steal digital assets.
Every transaction is recorded and exportable. The platform integrates with Syla, Koinly, and Crypto Tax Calculator, making your annual tax obligations straightforward and auditable.
Wealth99's fee structure is straightforward and transparent. Two fees. Nothing hidden. No performance fees, no withdrawal fees, no account setup costs.
Applied to each buy or sell transaction. This is the only cost when you trade — no spread manipulation, no hidden markups.
An annual fee of 0.95% of assets under management. This covers your licensed insured custody with Zodia and your dedicated specialist support from Darren.
There are no account setup fees, no withdrawal fees (to your bank account), and no minimum balance requirements. You can start with a small amount and build at your own pace.
Wealth99 is one of the few platforms in Australia specifically designed to work with Self-Managed Super Funds. If you have an SMSF and want to add a small, strategic allocation to digital assets, Wealth99 has the structure, reporting, and custody arrangements to make it work.
