Best for: Bitcoin-only hardware, simple setup
Swiss-made hardware wallet with a Bitcoin-only edition, open-source firmware and a refreshingly simple setup flow.
The BitBox02 is a Swiss-made hardware wallet with a Bitcoin-only edition, open-source firmware and a notably simple setup flow. It aims to make self-custody approachable without cutting corners on security.
It suits people who want open-source, Bitcoin-focused hardware that a newcomer can actually set up, with a companion app that stays out of the way. It is less feature-maximal than a Coldcard but easier to live with — a strong middle ground.
