Storing

Introduction

There are many different ways to store your Bitcoin but at a fundamental level it comes down to three options:

  • External custody: A third-party stores your Bitcoin: we advise against this as it introduces a lot of unnecessary risks.
  • Shared-custody: In this model you and a third party together store your coins. This model is great if you are scared of storing a large amount of Bitcoin yourself.
  • Self-custody: In this model only you store your Bitcoin and no other third party has access. For this model you should use a Hardware Wallet.

    • Self-custody
