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 through our listed rails. 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) is paid on the route the program requires. El Salvador settles BTC or USDT direct to the government wallet. The Vanuatu file can settle in BTC, Lightning, or USDT through BitSettle after compliance clearance. 21 CBI does not custody client funds or perform exchange services.
$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. Book your paid strategy call. Settle via BitSettle (BTC, Lightning, or USDT) for the 5% Bitcoin-native discount, or use Stripe (card or Link) at the standard price. No obligation to proceed.
