Seed Phrase Storage

Your seed phrase is your bitcoin. Paper burns, fades, and degrades. Metal backups survive fire, flood, and time. This is non-negotiable security.

Paper is not a backup

Paper can burn (451°F), get wet, fade from sunlight, be eaten by insects, or degrade over time. A house fire, flood, or even humidity can destroy your only backup. Metal seed storage withstands temperatures over 2000°F and is waterproof. For the price of a nice dinner, you can protect your entire financial future.

Tips for storing your seed phrase

  • Multiple locations: Keep copies in different physical locations (home, safety deposit box, trusted family member)
  • Never digital: Never type, photograph, or store your seed phrase on any digital device
  • Add a passphrase: A 25th word adds another layer of security if your seed is discovered
  • Test your backup: Verify you can restore from your metal backup before trusting it
