Does Ledger Live Support Multi-Sig?

Short answer:
No, Ledger Live does not natively support multi-signature (multi-sig) wallets.

However, Ledger devices (e.g., Nano X, Nano S Plus) can be used as part of a multi-sig wallet setup, but you’ll need to use third-party wallet software for that.

🔐 What is Multi-Sig?

Multi-signature (multi-sig) means a transaction must be approved by multiple private keys (e.g., 2-of-3 or 3-of-5) instead of just one.

Benefits:

  • Reduces risk of single-point failure

  • Great for teams, family trusts, businesses

  • Protects against theft/loss of one key

✅ How to Use Ledger Devices in Multi-Sig Wallets

To set up a multi-sig wallet that includes a Ledger device, use one of the following third-party wallets:

Wallet Multi-Sig Support Ledger Support Notes
Sparrow Wallet ✅ Yes ✅ Yes Great for Bitcoin multi-sig, open-source, power-user focused
Electrum ✅ Yes ✅ Yes Advanced Bitcoin wallet, not user-friendly for beginners
Specter Desktop ✅ Yes ✅ Yes Designed for multi-sig and hardware wallets, excellent security
Unchained Capital ✅ Yes (2-of-3) ✅ Yes Provides custody + assisted self-custody services
Casa ✅ Yes ✅ Yes User-friendly multisig service with guided recovery

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind

  • Ledger Live can’t see or manage multi-sig wallets, so you must manage them entirely via the third-party app.

  • You’ll need to record all co-signer xpubs and back up configuration files.

  • Backup and security are more complex than single-sig. Be confident before using multi-sig.

💡 Example: 2-of-3 Multi-Sig with Sparrow Wallet and Ledger

  1. Install Sparrow Wallet on your PC.

  2. Set up a new multi-sig wallet (e.g., 2-of-3).

  3. Connect your Ledger device as one of the co-signers.

  4. Add 2 more co-signers (other Ledger devices, or software-generated keys).

  5. Save the wallet configuration file.

  6. You can now receive BTC to the wallet, and spend only if 2 of the 3 keys sign the transaction.
