Bitcoin-only hardware wallets

A Bitcoin-only wallet deliberately limits the supported assets to Bitcoin. You can also use a multi-asset wallet just for Bitcoin; choose this category when you want that restriction, then compare the exact edition and daily workflow.

Our picks: 3 · Matching wallets: 12

Selected wallets

Bitcoin-only with BitBoxApp and microSD

BitBox02 Nova

For Bitcoin-only use with BitBoxApp, edge input and a microSD backup created during setup. Keep that card separate: the default backup can restore access without the old device password. Any optional passphrase remains necessary.

Before you choose: You control it by touching its edges, not the screen.

When to consider another wallet

Choose Nova Multi if you also need Ethereum; Nova’s editions cannot be switched. Choose Safe 7 Bitcoin-only for a phone touchscreen. Nova needs USB power with iPhone/iPad and USB OTG on Android.

Before you choose

What matters for a Bitcoin-only wallet.

Choose the exact edition

Choose Trezor Safe 5 Universal if you want the option to manage other supported assets later. Trezor Suite lets you switch that edition between Universal and Bitcoin-only firmware.

The dedicated Trezor Safe 5 Bitcoin-only edition has no ordinary switch back to Universal. Trezor documents an advanced manual installation of official Universal firmware, but advises it only if you have a strong reason and know what you are doing. You need your wallet backup ready: installation can erase the device’s memory and may leave it unusable.

BitBox02 Nova has fixed editions: Bitcoin-only cannot become Multi, and Multi cannot become Bitcoin-only. Choose the edition for the assets you want to manage.

The restriction does not establish an overall safety ranking. Choose it because you want Bitcoin-only operation, while still checking the controls, app and recovery arrangement.

Which editions let you change the firmware? 

Your phone, controls and recovery still matter

Trezor Safe 3 Bitcoin-only connects by USB to Trezor Suite on a computer or compatible Android phone. You read its screen and use two buttons. BitBox02 Nova Bitcoin-only works with BitBoxApp on iPhone over Bluetooth, but it must remain plugged into a power source. Bluetooth does not mean a battery-powered device.

BitBox02 Nova plugged into the bottom of an iPhone, with part of BitBoxApp visible.

Manufacturer example: Nova takes power from the iPhone here. BitBoxApp exchanges data with the device over Bluetooth.

Recovery also differs within this category. Nova can use its microSD backup or recovery words. Bitkey instead has an app-and-device recovery arrangement with cloud backup and other conditions depending on what you lose. Read the exact model’s recovery requirements before choosing.

Check recovery compatibility before replacing a wallet 

If you later need another cryptocurrency

You can keep your Bitcoin wallet and use another compatible wallet for the new asset. Your Bitcoin does not have to move just because your needs expand. If you prefer one device, check whether your actual edition can change before buying a replacement.

Restoring the same wallet on another device requires compatible recovery support. Creating a new wallet means sending funds to its new addresses. Those are different routes; do not reset a working device before you have chosen and prepared yours.
