Discover Bitcoin

Perfect for

🌲 Christmas

A present that is still worth opening years later. Order early enough for the card to travel: we ship the next business day, but the post may be slower in December.

🎂 Birthdays

Load the card with the person's age in francs, euros or pounds, or with whatever you would have spent on something they already own.

🍼 Newborns

A sealed card can sit untouched in a drawer for as long as you like. Nobody has to manage it, and nothing expires.

💍 Weddings

An alternative to the usual envelope, and one that does not need a bank account or a registry to be given.

🎓 Graduations

A first self-custodial wallet, and a reason to learn how Bitcoin actually works. The recipient holds the key, not us.

🥂 Retirements & farewells

Something physical to hand over, that keeps its meaning long after the leaving party is over.

What you get

One sealed card

A Satochip card holding a Bitcoin vault, already loaded with the amount you chose. The vault is sealed, so you know the private key has never been accessed.

Nothing to set up

No account, no registration, no battery and no cable. The recipient taps the card against their phone and the Satodime app does the rest.

Room to grow

The vault's public address keeps working while it is sealed, so more Bitcoin can be added at any time, by anyone.

What is the delivery time?

When you buy a card, we normally ship it the next business day. The recipient will then receive it in 1 business day if in Switzerland, a few business days if in other countries.

Can I return the card or get a refund?

No. Each card is shipped already loaded with real Bitcoin, so an order cannot be cancelled, returned or refunded once it has been paid. Please check the amount, the currency and the shipping address carefully before paying.

How is the exchange rate applied?

The exchange rate applied is the best market rate that we can obtain at the moment when we receive your payment for the card, unless your purchase requires extra compliance steps. In such case, the exchange rate is applied when those steps have been completed.

What happens if the Bitcoin price drops after I buy the card?

The card holds Bitcoin, not a fixed amount of francs or euros, so its value follows the Bitcoin price and can go down as well as up. The amount of BTC on the card never changes. We buy that Bitcoin at the best market rate we can obtain when we receive your payment, and from that point the card is worth whatever its BTC is worth.
