We’re excited to introduce Burner Bitcoin, a new kind of hardware wallet that makes gifting, stacking, and securing digital assets as easy as possible.

If you’ve experienced Burner for Ethereum or Base, you know how easy and safe self-custody can be. Now, by popular demand, we’re bringing that same simplicity and robust security to Bitcoin. Burner isn’t just another crypto wallet—it’s a physical device that puts you in control of your Bitcoin without the hassle of traditional wallet apps.

Why Burner Bitcoin?

Burner is designed to make self-custody and Bitcoin gifting accessible to everyone, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced user. It’s a hardware wallet that removes the friction and complexity found in many other crypto wallets.

Key Features Include:

• App-free Setup: Works with any NFC-enabled iPhone or Android mobile device—no wallet apps or software wallets required. Just tap and go using BurnerOS, our simple web app for managing your Bitcoin securely.
• Secure Chip + Seedless Design: Your private key is non-extractable and protected by the same secure chip hardware found in more expensive and complicated hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor. Burner also removes the need for traditional seed phrases, making self-custody safer and simpler for most users.
• Tap-to-sign Convenience: Sign transactions directly from your phone via NFC. This means you never have to expose your seed phrase or recovery phrase to an Internet-connected device.
• PIN Protection: Each card is protected by a PIN code, with lockout after repeated failed attempts, adding an extra layer of security.
• Affordable Backup: Back up your Burner to another for peace of mind—Burner makes redundancy easy and accessible.
• Fully Open Source: Burner Bitcoin is built on open-source code, with libraries that let you interact at a low level, from web and desktop apps to command line tools. You can manage your wallet entirely offline, including on air-gapped PCs and with NFC readers, for maximum security.

How Does Burner Compare to Other Bitcoin Wallets?

Most Bitcoin wallets come with trade-offs—whether it’s complexity, a steep learning curve, cost, or missing features. Burner Bitcoin is different: it’s designed to combine hardware-level security, seedless recovery, and an easy-to-gift card format without the usual compromises.

The chart below compares Burner Bitcoin to other popular wallet types, including hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor, software wallets such as Coinbase Wallet and Phantom, and traditional paper wallets.
