help Bitkey FAQ
How does the Bitkey hardware wallet secure cryptocurrency?
Bitkey secures cryptocurrency holdings by generating and storing private keys entirely offline. This physical isolation protects the user's assets from online vulnerabilities, phishing, and remote hacking attempts.
Who developed the Bitkey hardware wallet?
Bitkey was developed by Block, a financial technology company formerly known as Square. The device was designed to make Bitcoin storage simpler and more accessible for everyday users.
Does Bitkey require a recovery seed phrase?
Unlike many traditional hardware wallets, Bitkey replaces the standard recovery phrase with a unique recovery method. It relies on a multi-signature security model distributed across the user's phone, the hardware device, and Block's servers.
Can I buy things directly using the Bitkey hardware wallet?
The primary function of Bitkey is the secure storage of private keys rather than direct point-of-sale purchasing. Users can, however, securely authorize transactions to transfer funds to other wallets or exchanges.
