What is a Bitcoin Wallet?

A Bitcoin wallet is an app, device or other tool that manages the private keys used to access and spend your BTC. The bitcoin itself is not stored inside the wallet. It remains recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain, while the wallet gives you control over the keys needed to move it.

Your wallet also generates Bitcoin wallet addresses. These are the addresses you share when you want to receive BTC. When you send Bitcoin, your wallet uses your private keys to authorize the transaction.

There are two main custody models:

Self-custody wallets let you control your own private keys.
Custodial wallets are managed by an exchange or other provider that controls the keys for you.

The Bitcoin.com Wallet is a self-custody Bitcoin wallet app, so you control the keys to your BTC while using the app to receive, send, buy, sell and manage Bitcoin.

How can you create a Bitcoin wallet

Download the Bitcoin.com Wallet

Get the app from the App Store or Google Play, or scan the QR code on this page to send the download straight to your phone.

Open the app and create a new wallet

Choose to create a new wallet. Your keys are generated on your device, so there is no account to sign up for before you can start.

Select Bitcoin

Pick Bitcoin (BTC) as the wallet you want to create. You can add wallets for other supported coins in the same app whenever you need them.

Secure and back up your wallet

Turn on the passcode and biometric protection your device supports, then complete the backup in the app so you can restore access with your custom password if you lose or replace your phone.

Receive or transfer BTC into it

Use the Receive screen to accept BTC from someone else, or transfer coins in from an exchange or another wallet you already use.

What type of BTC wallet should you use?

The right wallet depends on how you plan to use your BTC. Most people start with a software wallet and add offline storage as their holdings grow. For more information, read the full guide here: How to Choose the Right Bitcoin Wallet

Software wallet

Everyday BTC access from your phone or computer.

Best for: sending, receiving and regular use

Trade-off: device and backup security matter

Hardware wallet

A physical device that keeps your keys offline.

Best for: holding larger amounts long term

Trade-off: costs money, slower to transact

Custodial wallet

An account where a provider, such as an exchange, holds your BTC for you.

Best for: convenience if you would rather not manage keys

Trade-off: the provider controls the keys, not you

Cold storage

Keys kept completely offline, away from the internet.

Best for: long-term storage

Trade-off: not practical for frequent payments

Get the Bitcoin wallet app

Create a self-custody Bitcoin wallet on iOS or Android and hold the keys to your own BTC.

Before you confirm the transaction

VERIFY ADDRESS

Check the address before sending the BTC.

USE BITCOIN

BTC belongs on the Bitcoin network, not Ethereum or Tron.

REVIEW AMOUNT

Don’t send $10,000 when you meant to pay for coffee.

CHECK FEE

No need to overpay for speed if you’re not in a rush.

Bitcoin wallet security

Self-custody puts you in control of your BTC. It also means protecting access to your wallet is your responsibility. Here's how you could make your wallet bulletproof:

BACK IT UP

Your future self will thank you when your phone meets concrete.

KEEP IT PRIVATE

Recovery credentials are for recovery, not customer support.

CHECK TWICE

Bitcoin does not come with an “undo send” button.

IGNORE THE SCAMS

Urgency, giveaways and “wallet verification” are classic red flags.

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Qué es el Bitcoin (BTC)?

El bitcoin es una criptomoneda descentralizada descrita originalmente en un libro blanco de 2008 por una persona —o un grupo de personas— que utilizaba el seudónimo de Satoshi Nakamoto. Se lanzó poco después, en enero de 2009. El bitcoin se creó, según las propias palabras de Nakamoto, para permitir que «los pagos en línea se enviaran directamente de una parte a otra sin pasar por una entidad financiera». Aunque ya existían algunos conceptos de un tipo similar de moneda electrónica descentralizada anteriores al BTC, el bitcoin se distingue por ser la primera criptomoneda de la historia en entrar en uso real.

¿Cómo funciona el Bitcoin?

El bitcoin es una moneda en línea de igual a igual, lo que significa que todas las transacciones se realizan directamente entre participantes de la red independientes y en pie de igualdad, sin necesidad de que ningún intermediario las autorice o facilite. A diferencia de los sistemas monetarios centralizados, como los bancos o los procesadores de pagos, el bitcoin utiliza un libro mayor distribuido para llevar un registro de los saldos de cada participante. La minería de Bitcoin, en forma de «prueba de trabajo», garantiza que nadie pueda gastar bitcoins que no posea, ni gastar el mismo bitcoin dos veces.

Keep control of your Bitcoin

Self-custody means there is no bank, exchange or support desk holding the keys for you. That gives you direct control over your BTC, but it also makes good backup and device security essential. Complete the wallet’s supported backup process as soon as you create it, protect your phone with a passcode or biometrics, and keep both the wallet app and operating system up to date.

Your recovery credentials and private keys should stay private. Never share them with customer support, someone offering to “verify” your wallet, or anyone contacting you unexpectedly. Download the Bitcoin.com Wallet only from official sources, and be especially cautious when a message creates urgency or asks you to act quickly.

Before sending BTC, check the destination address, amount and network fee. Bitcoin transactions generally cannot be reversed once confirmed, so a few seconds of checking can prevent a very expensive mistake. For more ways to protect yourself, read our guide to avoiding Bitcoin and crypto fraud.
