Interested in purchasing and using Bitcoin? Great! We want to ensure you do it right, with full control over your own Bitcoin. This is called "self-custody" and requires a Bitcoin wallet - a secure place to store, receive, and spend your Bitcoin.

Some skip creating a wallet and buy Bitcoin first. Others rely on wallets controlled by someone else. We advise against these approaches. Why? "Not your keys, not your coins." Without your own wallet, your Bitcoin is at risk of loss or being inaccessible.

By securely storing Bitcoin in your own wallet, you have complete control. Follow our step-by-step process below to gain full control of your Bitcoin. You have the flexibility to complete it all at once or at your own pace over time.
