Your money · fully secured · 100% offline
Real on-chain BTC on a card you fund yourself. Scan to add bitcoin, write the 12 words your phone shows, seal it, give it. No app, no account, no us in the loop, Bitcards never holds it. You hand over the only key.
Private keys stay offline. No server to hack, no login to phish, no database holding your money.
No apps. No accounts. Just Bitcoin. You fund it, you hold it, you hand it over.
Scan, write, seal, give. Opening it later takes a phone and nothing else.
THE HONEST PART
// sending bitcoin costs ~nothing. we know. here's what a transaction can't do:
It's a thing you put in a hand. A QR in a chat is forgettable and abstract. A sealed, numbered card is a real object you hand across a table. Self-custody stops being theoretical the second it's in their hand.
The other person needs zero setup. No exchange signup, no account, no "download this app first." They scan, peel the seals, and follow the phone, on their own time. It's the cleanest on-ramp that never touches a custodian.
WHY IT'S YOURS, WITHOUT TRUSTING US
Our half is sealed on the card. Your half is the 12 words your phone shows during setup, which you write on the card's strip. It takes both to spend.
no words = no bitcoin · no backup.Scan the QR with any phone camera to add bitcoin and check the balance. You fund it with your own BTC, Bitcards never touches the coins.
no app, no account, no sign-up, ever.Write the 12 words, seal it, and give it. The card carries the only key to real on-chain bitcoin, theirs the moment it's in their hand.
Bitcards never holds it, you hand them the only key.// right now the two halves are apart. nobody can spend, including us.
No words = no bitcoin · no backup.
// both halves travel with the card. nothing stays behind with us.
FLOW
Scan the QR with any phone camera to add bitcoin and check the balance. Send from whatever wallet you already use, any amount. Our sealed half stays shut until the day the card is opened.
// printed on the card: "scan to add bitcoin & check the balance"Your phone shows 12 words, your half of the key. Write them on the card's strip, tick all 12 written, and seal it tamper-evident. No words = no bitcoin · no backup.
// printed on the card: twelve numbered lines, then "checked all 12 words · seal & give"Give it. To open later, they just scan, peel the seals, and follow the phone, whenever they're ready. No app to install, no account to open, no one to ask.
// printed on the card: "to open later: scan · peel seals · follow phone"SPECIFICATIONS
Every other wallet has a spec sheet. Here's ours. It cannot be updated, patched, bricked, drained remotely or locked out of, because there is nothing in it to update, patch, brick, drain or lock.
THE CARDS
The information and the cryptography never change. You're only choosing the front.
Everyone knows what this color means.
Says nothing until you turn it over.
Looks like a bank card. Isn't one.
WHAT IT'S FOR
Put real, self-custodied sats in a no-coiner's hand without sending them to an exchange first. They own it from the first second, with no custodian to teach them bad habits. The best first stack is one nobody else ever controlled.
Your first whole coin. A halving. A block height that meant something. Something you keep in a drawer, sovereignty you can actually hold, not a row in someone's database.
// THE NIGHT WATCH · MOVE YOUR LIGHT
No server, no battery, no login, nothing that expires. A Bitcards card just sits there holding, sealed, until the day someone decides to open it. Finding it is easy. Opening it takes the twelve words.

// yes, we cost more than an OpenDime and infinitely more than a free tx. you're paying for a key split in two (we never hold it whole), an open-with-no-app flow, scan · peel · follow the phone, and a gift-grade object made to hand to someone, not a self-buy stick. "chip-gen" = the device makes the key, so you trust the chip + supply chain. *exchange "free" = custodial + sign-up.
PROOF FROM PEOPLE
Set it up at my kitchen table in five minutes. Loaded it, wrote the words, sealed it. My brother opened it later with nothing but his phone. No app, no account, no asking anyone's permission.Jake M. · gifted three cards
I've walked six people through hardware wallet setups. Never again. This is scan, write, seal, hand it over. Cold storage that doesn't need me on call for tech support.Sarah K. · verified buyer
The key splits in two and the company never holds it whole. Nothing online to hack, nobody who can freeze it. This is how you put real bitcoin in someone's hand.Dan R. · verified buyer
