Bitcoin wallet
Digital currency storage
A Bitcoin wallet is software or hardware that stores the cryptographic keys needed to send and receive Bitcoin.
The wallet doesn't hold coins directly—those exist on the blockchain—but controls access to them.
Wallets range from smartphone apps to specialized hardware devices kept offline for security: I moved my Bitcoin to a cold wallet for long-term storage.
