Bitcoin self-custody tools

What is Coinkite?

Coinkite is a Canadian Bitcoin hardware company founded in 2012. It makes tools for self-custody: COLDCARD signing devices, OPENDIME physical Bitcoin bearer devices, BLOCKCLOCK displays, NFC cards, SATSCHIP chips, and steel seed backups.

Bitcoin-only security

No altcoin dashboard. No custody account. Coinkite products are built for people who hold and verify bitcoin themselves.

Air-gapped workflows

COLDCARD signing flows keep private keys on the device while transactions move through offline-friendly workflows.

Physical Bitcoin tools

OPENDIME, SATSCARD, TAPSIGNER, and SATSCHIP turn key handling into physical objects you can hold, gift, tap, verify, or embed.
