Coinkite Coldcard Description 2025
The world needs an open, cheap and secure hardware wallet
What is the Coinkite Coldcard? It is a Bitcoin hardware wallet that can be used offline and signed for transactions.
- BIP39 based, meaning you can back up the secret words on paper and have many sub-accounts and unlimited independent payment addresses. Now with BIP39 passphrase support that unlocks countless extra wallets from the same seed words!
- It knows how to understand transactions so you can see what you’re approving.
- The first “ParSigned Bitcoin Transaction Format”-PSBT (GDP 174) native wallet, which can be used completely offline throughout the lifecycle.
New in version 2 of the Coinkite Goldcard

- “SHOOT THIS” markers for effective device destruction
- Activity LED for MicroSD card slot

The Coinkite Goldcard is different
NO special software required. It accepts standard PSBT transactions (GDP 174) stored on a MicroSD card. NO companion application on your computer necessary, already works with the main wallets (Electrum and more in preparation).
It’s cheap! Simple packaging, simple design, no fancy boxes, no redundant cables.
It’s ultra easy! Real crypto security chip. Your private key is stored in a special security chip, not in the flash of the main microkro.
Easy backup! MicroSD card slot for backup and data storage. This allows for real offline signing by transferring the unsigned transactions via the sneaker net.
Open source software design runs on micropython and you can change it.
