Most CBI advisory fees scale with your total investment. That math punishes you for picking the program that costs more. Ours is 5% of the government fee only.
Advisory Fee · On the Government Fee Only
Traditional CBI advisory fees run 15–25% of the total cost, often with charges buried in the fine print (per published rate cards from major firms and IMI industry comparisons). We charge 5% of the government fee or donation only, payable in Bitcoin. Every cost broken down before you commit.
The 5% advisory fee is what 21 CBI charges. The government contribution itself (Vanuatu $130K, El Salvador $1M, São Tomé $90K) is paid to the country, not to us. Where the program accepts Bitcoin directly (El Salvador), we route Bitcoin straight to the government. Where it does not, 21 CBI handles the BTC-to-fiat conversion with full transparency and a published exchange rate at the time of settlement.
$130,000 government fee × 5% = $6,500.
The whole advisory fee. No surprises.
Government fees go to the country; the 5% advisory is ours. Every figure is a starting minimum for a single applicant.
