This year, be bad.
Be a bad trader. Don’t chase the market. Stack bitcoin steadily.
Be a bad economist. Stop predicting world events. Focus on Bitcoin’s fundamentals.
Be a bad citizen. Don’t trust banks. Hold your wealth in self-custody.
Be a bad follower. Don’t follow the hype. Choose long-term freedom.
Be a bad investor. Forget quick gains. Real wealth is built by holding bitcoin.
Be a bad customer. Stop paying fees to third parties. Take control of your money.
Thinking outside the box is how revolutions start.
- Enhanced transaction overview
We’ve modernized the transaction history with better spacing, clearer distinctions for incoming/outgoing/self transfers, and historical fiat values at the time of transactions.
Now it’s easier to recall the context of older transactions!
- Native Apple Silicon support
Mac users with M-series chips can now enjoy a faster, smoother app experience without relying on Rosetta emulation.
Faster launches, snappier performance, and better battery life. 🚀
- Improved privacy tools
The BitBoxApp now labels change outputs, helping users better understand their UTXO history and avoid potential privacy mishaps.
Combined with our address reuse warnings, this can help to improve transaction privacy.
- BTC Direct's Private Trading Desk
High-volume traders, this one’s for you! We’ve integrated BTC Direct Private Trading Desk for trades of €50,000 or more.
Enjoy personal guidance, fixed rates, and secure transfers directly to your cold storage.
SO, from better fee management to log exports on Android, visual improvements, and more, this update enhances the BitBoxApp experience for everyone.

🔒 Silent Payments Upgrade
With this update, the BitBox02 is now the first hardware wallet to support sending to silent payment addresses. This means you can send bitcoin to the same address multiple times, without the sender losing privacy. No need to constantly generate new addresses!
🔧 Just enter a silent payment address in the BitBoxApp, and the transaction is created together with your BitBox02.
The BitBoxApp then verifies the silent payment was created correctly by the BitBox02 for extra security.
🔑 This update also brings MiniTapscript, combining the privacy and efficiency of Taproot with the power of Miniscript. It’s perfect for creating more complex wallet setups like inheritance planning, while keeping transactions smaller and more private.
What is MiniTapscript?
Miniscript is a language that simplifies creating advanced Bitcoin spending conditions, like combining keys or setting time delays (great for inheritance planning).
MiniTapscript adds Taproot’s privacy and efficiency to Miniscript. Only the part of the script actually used to spend the coins is revealed, which reduces transaction size, lowers fees, and improves privacy.
With MiniTapscript, only the necessary parts of the script are revealed, making transactions more efficient and lowering fees. It’s available now in firmware version 9.21.0.
