How it Works

A beautifully crafted precious metal bullion-inspired design with a high-grade premium finish. Micrometer-scale details and accuracy, alongside the tamper-evident sealed acrylic casing also help to ensure both the authenticity and integrity of each Bullion product.

Unique serial numbers appear across the rear of the bullion. The anti-counterfeit, holographic, and tamper-evident label also displays the Bullion product’s unique BTC address, which can be used to independently audit the Bitcoin funds directly on the Blockchain ledger.

This tamper-evident label safeguards the secret keys below, which enables the redemption of the face value of the bullion. The secret is split in two components using trusted BIP-38 private key encryption, no entity has access to both secrets during manufacturing.

Have Questions?

Owning Bitcoin fundamentally means owning the 'private keys', which is the secret information that proves your ownership and allows you to spend the coins. The Bitcoin itself is recorded on a global, decentralized ledger, and possessing these private keys grants you the ability to move your Bitcoin on that ledger. Our physical bullion securely stores this essential private key information for a specific amount of Bitcoin.

We exclusively offer Bitcoin because we believe it is the true innovation in the digital asset space. In our view, there isn't a 'second best' cryptocurrency; there's Bitcoin, and then there's everything else. Bitcoin stands apart as sound money and 'digital gold' for the modern world. This singular dedication ensures we focus on Bitcoin, and remove the noise.

While you can theoretically use the product as a wallet, it is not something we recommend. Alpine Bitcoin bullion are designed as a single-use cold storage solution. The private keys are protected by tamper-evident seals, and once these seals are broken to access your Bitcoin, the private key is exposed. For this reason, if you decide to spend the Bitcoin, we strongly advise transferring the entire balance to another secure wallet of your choice immediately.

Alpine Bitcoin bullion employs multiple protective measures:

  • BIP-38 Encryption: Open-source BIP-38 encryption secures your Bitcoin using two distinct secret keys. Both keys are necessary to access the Bitcoin. These cannot be brute-forced. ([EXPLAIN HERE HOW THE USER GETS/SETS THEIR PASSPHRASE - e.g., "You will set this passphrase during the secure purchase process," or "A unique passphrase component is securely generated and provided to you separately." If this info is too long for here, ensure the link below covers it clearly.] Learn more about our BIP-38 and key handling.)
  • Secure Key Handling: One secret key is managed by a vetted supplier and hidden under a tamper-evident label. The second secret key, generated by Alpine Bitcoin, is laser-etched onto the bullion. Crucially, no single entity ever has access to both keys.
  • Physical Security: The resilient metal bullion is encased in a sealed, tamper-evident acrylic case. The secret keys on the bullion are also protected by their own tamper-evident label, and can clearly indicate any interference.

Yes, Alpine Bitcoin bullion makes an excellent and unique gift! It's a tangible way to introduce someone to Bitcoin. It’s a memorable and convenient way to give the gift of modern money.

Not at all. While learning about Bitcoin can be rewarding, our Alpine Bitcoin bullion is designed to make ownership simple and intuitive, much like owning traditional precious metal bullion. You don't need to be a tech expert. We provide clear instructions, and the physical nature makes it more familiar.

Absolutely! You can a) sell the product to someone and hand them the physical bar, or you can alternatively b) redeem the underlying Bitcoin by using the hidden secret keys. Once redeemed, you can send the Bitcoin to an online exchange to sell. Bitcoin is a highly liquid asset with a global market; there is never a shortage of buyers.

We unfortunately only ship to Canada at this time. If you reside elsewhere, we apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your interest. This is subject to change and we encourage you to check back in the future as well.

Absolutely! Purchasing our larger denomination bullion (e.g. a 0.05 BTC bar instead of five 0.01 BTC bars) inherently offers Bitcoin at a lower Bitcoin price. Additionally, for inquiries about purchasing a significant quantity of bullion items, please reach out to our sales team via our Live Chat to discuss potential preferential pricing.

Unfortunately, Alpine Bitcoin has no ability to recover your Bitcoin if the physical bullion is lost. Owning an Alpine Bitcoin bullion is similar to holding physical cash or a traditional gold bar: if the item is lost or stolen, the value it holds is also gone for the owner, as there is no central party that can recover it. We strongly recommend storing your bullion in a secure location, such as a safe or alongside your other valuables, to prevent loss.
