Hardware wallet, mobile wallet, Lightning your setup should fit you, not the other way around. Good Bitcoin products should support different needs, different levels of experience, and different ways of holding your own keys. without forcing you into a specific wallet.

Seed, wallet, and address are not the same thing. A seed backs up your wallet. A wallet manages your keys. An address is where you receive Bitcoin. These terms get mixed up all the time. But understanding the difference makes everything else much easier.

Human support needs humans. In Bitcoin, good support is not a luxury. It is part of the product. Because when money, self-custody, and technical questions come together, people deserve fast answers from someone who actually understands what is going on. That is the standard we believe support should meet.

Yes, directly to your hardware wallet - and with the xpub integration there is no address reuse!

The biggest advantage of DCA is not price. It’s discipline. A recurring buy plan removes the pressure to time the perfect entry and helps turn intention into consistency. In Bitcoin, that matters more than most people think.

One of the biggest misunderstandings for beginners: A “wallet” does not actually hold your Bitcoin. Your Bitcoin lives on the blockchain. What your wallet holds are the private keys. Those keys are what let you control and move your Bitcoin. And a hardware wallet? It is not really a storage device. It is a signing device. Once you understand that, self-custody makes a lot more sense. You are not storing coins on a device. You are securing the keys that prove they are yours.

“Not your keys, not your coins” is easy to say. Actually taking custody of your own bitcoin is a different story. For many people, self-custody still feels like a big step. Not because they do not believe in it, but because responsibility can feel overwhelming at first. 🤝 We get that. That’s why we built Pocket to make the move into self-custody easier: 🚀 simple to start, 📅 built for the long term, 🔒 without giving up control. Find out more here: →

Hey, what do you want to learn today?

A good Bitcoin product should not make you choose between simplicity and self-custody. That trade-off is accepted far too often. We think both should be the standard. That belief shapes everything: how we deliver Bitcoin to you, how we connect the wallets, how recurring buys work, and most Importantly: How users stay in control from the start.

Over the past weeks, we’ve spoken openly about who we are, what has changed around us, and why we made certain decisions that were not always easy — but necessary. This is the full picture. Pocket was built on a simple conviction: buying Bitcoin should not require you to give up control. When you purchase through Pocket, your Bitcoin goes directly to your own wallet — not to an account held on your behalf, not into a system where you must later request a withdrawal, but straight into your custody from the very first satoshi. That principle remains unchanged. What has changed is the environment in which we operate. Regulatory frameworks in Switzerland and across Europe have evolved significantly over the past year. Thresholds were lowered, reporting standards expanded, and expectations around compliance increased for every company operating in this space. To remain independent, fully compliant, and operational for the long term, we introduced full verification for all users. We understand that this step can feel frustrating — especially in a community that values autonomy and discretion. That is precisely why we made a deliberate choice: verification is handled internally, on our own infrastructure, without outsourcing sensitive data to external KYC providers. We collect what is legally required. Nothing more. We store it securely. We process it ourselves. We minimize exposure wherever possible. Anonymity is not always achievable within a regulated framework. Privacy, however, still is — and that is the standard we commit to. At the same time, we strengthened the foundation beneath the product. We unified our SEPA and SEPA Instant infrastructure, moved our banking connections closer to where we operate, and laid the groundwork for future improvements such as personal virtual IBANs. These changes are not flashy, but they are essential if you want reliability, speed, and operational resilience over many years — not just one market cycle. Infrastructure should be invisible when it works. That is the goal. Through all of this, some things have not moved at all: - We remain Bitcoin-only. - We remain non-custodial by design. - We never hold customer coins. - We support hardware wallets natively. - We support Lightning. - We provide real human support when you need it. More than 50,000 people across Switzerland and Europe have chosen Pocket as the way they accumulate Bitcoin while keeping control over their own keys. That trust is not a growth metric to us — it is a responsibility. We are not here to optimize for hype. We are not here to chase every trend. We are here to build durable infrastructure that allows people to hold their own Bitcoin, securely and simply, within a framework that can endure regulatory change and market volatility alike. Pocket is, and remains, a place you can confidently send your friends and family — because simplicity, transparency, and self-custody are not marketing slogans for us. They are design principles. Bitcoin was built for sovereignty. Our job is to make that sovereignty accessible, responsibly and sustainably. And that is what we will continue to do.

If you buy Bitcoin regularly on-chain, you slowly create many small UTXOs. Each purchase = one output. That’s fine while stacking. But later, when you spend or move your coins, your wallet may need to spend many of them at once. More inputs → bigger transaction → higher fees. That’s why it’s good practice to occasionally consolidate. Now its a good time for that. When fees are low, combine several smaller UTXOs into one larger one. Same bitcoin. Fewer inputs. Lower fees later. A simple habit for anyone doing on-chain DCA. Save this for the next low-fee period. Happy Sunday everyone ☀️
