BitBox02 Nova Description 2025

The BitBox02 has been a firm favorite among hardware wallets for years and impresses with its uncompromising security, simple operation and sleek design. Now Shift Crypto has taken the next step with the BitBox02 Nova and launched an improved version on the market that builds on the strengths of its predecessor and brings decisive innovations.

In this article, you will find out everything you need to know about the new BitBox02 Nova, what features it offers, how it differs from the classic BitBox02 and where you can buy it.

BitBox02 Nova: The next generation of Swiss hardware wallets is here!

The BitBox02 Nova is the latest hardware wallet from Switzerland, designed to take the security of your digital assets to a new level. It is the result of years of experience in hardware security and combines proven functions with state-of-the-art technology. Like its predecessor, the Nova is available in a Bitcoin-only edition for purists and a Multi Edition, which also offers support for Ethereum, Litecoin, Cardano and other ERC20 tokens.

The most important features of the BitBox02 Nova

Like the BitBox02, the Nova also dispenses with physical buttons and relies on invisible touch sensors. Tap, hold and slide gestures enable quick and intuitive navigation. Shift Crypto remains true to its philosophy, which is why the firmware is still completely open source, creating maximum transparency and trust.

The Nova retains the proven and intuitive operation of the BitBox02 and adds some remarkable features that further increase user convenience and security.

iOS compatibility

Probably the biggest and most eagerly awaited innovation is iOS compatibility. Thanks to Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and the secure “Whisper” protocol developed by Shift Crypto, the BitBox02 Nova can now also be used with iPhones and iPads. A game changer for all Apple users who want to manage their cryptos on the go.

Improved display

Another highlight is the improved OLED display, which is now installed behind a scratch-resistant glass surface. This not only ensures a high-quality appearance, but also a crystal-clear and easy-to-read display of addresses and transaction details.

New Secure Ship

For maximum security, the Nova uses a new secure chip that is certified to the highest security standard EAL6+. In combination with the dual-chip architecture, the wallet offers even better protection against physical attacks.

New colors

The BitBox02 Nova is available in midnight black and new polar white.

BitBox02 Nova vs. BitBox02: What’s new?

The biggest difference lies in the iOS compatibility and the new glass display. The classic BitBox02 could only be used with desktop devices and Android devices via USB-C. The Nova closes this gap and enables use on all common platforms. The improved display is also a noticeable upgrade. While the classic BitBox02 has a plastic display, the Nova’s glass surface is not only more robust and scratch-resistant, but also much more contrasty and pleasant to read. The new BitBox02 Nova is therefore not a completely new development, but a sensible evolution that extends the existing strengths with important features for the modern user.

Availability: When and where can you buy the BitBox02 Nova?

The BitBox02 Nova has recently become available and can be ordered directly from the official Shift Crypto webshop for a price of 175,00 € (click here to check the current price). In addition, various authorized resellers in Germany and Europe also offer the new model. When buying, always make sure that you buy from an official dealer to ensure the authenticity of the device.

Note: The BitBox02 Nova will not replace the classic BitBox02. Both models will continue to be offered in parallel so that you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

As soon as we have a model to test, we will publish a test report here.

Conclusion

With the BitBox02 Nova, Shift Crypto has developed a hardware wallet that builds on the proven foundations of the BitBox02 and expands them in a targeted manner. The iOS compatibility and the improved glass display are the biggest plus points that make the Nova a real all-rounder.

If you already own a BitBox02, it is not absolutely necessary to switch, unless you attach great importance to iPhone use. But if you are looking for a new, secure and ultra-modern hardware wallet that works on all devices and impresses with its simple and elegant design, then the BitBox02 Nova is a first-class choice.
