SATSCARD

Cold Storage

SATSCARD is a reusable NFC smart card from Coinkite that holds Bitcoin like physical cash. Each card has 10 slots — each slot is a separate Bitcoin address with a unique private key. To receive Bitcoin, anyone can scan the printed QR code on the back. To spend or move funds, the owner taps the card using the 6-digit CVC code printed on the card. Once a slot is spent, the next slot activates. Anonymous by design, SATSCARD requires no pairing, no app account, and no cloud — making it ideal for gifting Bitcoin or in-person transactions.

The Nano X features a larger screen than its predecessors, a built-in battery for mobile use, and can store up to 100 apps simultaneously.
