Block has started shipping its Bitkey hardware wallet. The Bitcoin wallet costs $150 and comes with a fingerprint scanner and NFC chip.
Block, the Jack Dorsey-led payment company, has released its long-in-the-works Bitcoin hardware wallet — but you can’t use cryptocurrency to buy it. You can only purchase the $150 Bitkey wallet with your credit or debit card, a sign that crypto might not be as prevalent as its designers had anticipated. Block first introduced a prototype of the wallet in 2022 before opening preorders last December.
The self-custody Bitcoin wallet, which Dorsey nicknamed “rockey,” lets users store cryptocurrency outside of an exchange to protect the funds from a potential collapse. Bitkey is paired with a mobile app and recovery tools in case users lose the wallet or their phone. There’s a fingerprint sensor on top of the device, a USB-C charging port, and an NFC chip to transfer funds between the app and the wallet .
