Mastering the Sovereign Revolution

Work with me

I partner with up to six clients at a time who are navigating the shift from traditional finance to digital assets and hard money, and looking to diversify their assets away from the whims of any single government or jurisdiction.

My work focuses on helping individuals and family offices carefully consider and design secure, future-proof frameworks for financial sovereignty that can last generations.

With experience as a practising attorney at top international law firms in London, Paris, Tokyo and the Cayman Islands  and a decade of experience in digital asset technologies in New York, London and Switzerland, I now apply my skills to architect legal and blockchain based structures to grow and preserve wealth for clients facing inflation and political and economic uncertainty unprecedented in our lifetimes. 

Whether a complex trust or corporate structure or an individual looking to secure their own future, the goal is the same: clarity, protection, and strategic advantage in a rapidly evolving economic and political landscape.

Engagement Model

Sovereignty Intensive

CHF 9,000

Two focused half-day sessions, spaced at least two weeks apart. Together we assess your current structures and goals, then design a Sovereignty Plan to be executed over the next 12 months.

This may include:

• Legal and corporate structures (trusts, holding companies)

• Digital asset allocation and custody

• Tax optimization and internationalization (residencies, passports)

• Diversified global banking, trading, and brokerage relationships

• Inheritance and wealth-preservation frameworks

Outcome: A comprehensive Sovereignty Plan tailored to your needs.
Charged as a single, upfront fee.

Ongoing Sovereignty Advisory

(by Consultation)

For clients ready to implement. I act as your single point of contact and provide white-glove execution across all aspects of the Sovereignty Plan. This includes coordination with lawyers, tax advisors, banks, and service providers worldwide.

Unlike a traditional law firm or consultancy, I work seamlessly across jurisdictions - USA, Europe, Latin America, and Asia - and coordinate with with you and service providers globally to ensure flawless execution (in English, German, Swiss German, French, Portuguese or Hungarian).

• Packages start at a minimum 50-hour / 6 month commitment

• Payment is arranged upfront or quarterly (10% premium)

Outcome: A fully executed sovereignty framework, with ongoing education so you and your family can operate independently long after our engagement.

Note: For these services I work with a maximum of six clients at a time to ensure discretion, focus, and impact.

Mark David Bakacs

Based near Zurich, Switzerland, I advise individuals, family offices, sovereign wealth funds, law firms, forward-looking financial institutions, government bodies, and decentralized protocols on the transition from traditional finance to digital assets, financial sovereignty, and decentralized systems.

With a background in international finance and law, I practiced at Linklaters in London, Paris, and Tokyo (Magic Circle), as well as Sidley Austin (White Shoe) and Maples in the Cayman Islands. Over the last two decades, my work has focused on the intersection of global financial systems and emerging technologies such as blockchain and AI.

Earlier in my career, I played a key role in the 2009 Credit Suisse bailout and co-designed ASEAN’s cross-border swap agreements to enhance regional financial resilience. Since then, I’ve advised governments, financial institutions, and decentralized protocols on stablecoin frameworks, tokenized asset strategies, and digital asset regulation.

As an early advocate of Bitcoin and Ethereum, I co-created the Ethereal Summit and continue to work closely with leading DAOs, protocols, and founders on governance, legal architecture, and growth strategy.

My role is to help clients stay ahead of structural shifts in finance and technology - translating complexity into clarity, and opportunity into results.
