Chain Code Delegation has now been assigned BIP 89 — a big step forward for private collaborative custody in bitcoin.
With privacy fully rolled out in the Bitkey app, customers who update now benefit from the first implementation of this emerging standard.
A big moment for the ecosystem — and for self-custody.
Bitkey now has another top-tier buy partner.
US customers can now buy bitcoin with Strike and move it straight into your Bitkey wallet in one smooth flow.
Another step toward seamless bitcoin experiences.
You can now buy a Bitkey without giving up your home address.
Ship to thousands of pickup points across the U.S. — FedEx, Walgreens, Kroger, Dollar General, and more.
Pay with bitcoin, pick up privately, and stay in control.
We’re wrapping up 2025 with 0% fees on bitcoin buys when you pick Cash App in Bitkey — now through the end of the year.
The banks might be holidazed (how many are we at now?) but bitcoin never rests. Happy stacking.

By implementing Chain Code Delegation, Bitkey becomes the first private collaborative multisig wallet — what you do with your keys is your business, simplifying self-custody is ours.
Not our keys. Not our business.
Across the Block ecosystem, brands like Cash App, Square, Spiral, Proto, and Bitkey are helping make bitcoin more open, accessible, and usable.
From payments and mining to self-custody and education, we’re proud to be part of a global network building financial freedom for everyone. 🌍
Watch Ivy Galindo's story and see how bitcoin is changing lives:
Security, privacy, and ease of use shouldn’t be at odds.
To help close the gap, Bitkey engineer Jurvis Tan and Bitkey alum Jesse Posner proposed a new bitcoin improvement that allows multisig wallet owners to control which keyholders can see full balance and transaction data.

The true test of self-custody isn’t just whether or not you hold your own keys. It’s whether or not you can protect them from loss, theft, coercion, seizure, and death, and still be able to make transactions when you need to, without a third party intermediary.
Passing on your bitcoin shouldn’t be a puzzle. Our inheritance feature is built to make it straightforward and secure. Set it up once. Protect it for a lifetime. Dive into how it works:
What happens if you lose your phone? Your Bitkey still works.
What if you lose your hardware? Still recoverable.
What if you lose both? There’s still a path forward.
Bitkey’s 2-of-3 security model ensures that even in less than ideal scenarios, your bitcoin is accessible.
Learn how recovery works — in every scenario:
Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold, it’s a test of trust.
Every time you choose self-custody, you’re proving you understand what bitcoin really stands for: ownership, responsibility, and freedom.
“Creating a system that keeps your seed phrases secure and is resistant to all of these threats is a tall task to ask users.” – Jonathan Pollack, Bitkey Product Lead
That’s why Bitkey is designed with a seedless recovery system. Our 2-of-3 key setup lets you recover your wallet even if you lose one of your signing devices — without the burden of seed phrase management.

Product Lead, Jonathan broke it down 👇
Portland showed up 🙌
At the Bitcoin is for Everyone conference, we had powerful conversations about self-custody, recovery, inheritance, and how to onboard your friends and family — safely.
We met new customers, reconnected with OG supporters, and shared our vision for a more accessible, safer path to holding your own keys.
Even more encouraging? So many attendees already owned Bitkey or had heard of us.
Bitcoin self-custody is growing — and Bitkey is growing with it.
