Bitkey is a self-custody Bitcoin hardware wallet created by Block, Inc., an American company founded by Jack Dorsey. Block launched Bitkey in December 2023, taking pre-orders in 95 countries, and started shipping it in March 2024.[1][2][3]
Bitkey allows investors to own, manage and store their Bitcoin without relying on third-party cryptocurrency exchanges or "custodial platforms". The wallet includes a mobile app, a hardware device, and a set of recovery tools in case the customer loses the phone, their hardware or both.[1][2]
