# Withdraw to Cold Storage

> **PREREQUISITE:** Load the following skill to execute this recipe: `kraken-funding-ops`

Withdraw crypto to a pre-approved hardware wallet address with fee checks and status tracking.

> **CAUTION:** Withdrawals are irreversible once confirmed on-chain. Triple-check the address.

## Steps

2. List verified withdrawal addresses: `kraken withdrawal addresses --asset BTC --verified true -o json 2>/dev/null`
3. Confirm the target address matches the cold storage address on file
4. Check withdrawal fee: `kraken withdrawal info BTC "cold-storage-btc" 0.5 -o json 2>/dev/null`
5. Present fee and net amount to the user
6. Execute withdrawal (requires explicit human approval): `kraken withdraw BTC "cold-storage-btc" 0.5 -o json 2>/dev/null`
7. Track withdrawal status: `kraken withdrawal status --asset BTC -o json 2>/dev/null`
8. Verify balance reduction: `kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null`
