Plain English
BitBox02 is a Swiss-made hardware wallet by Shift Crypto. Multi-edition (Bitcoin-only and Multi) at around $149. Known for minimalist design with a single touch sensor and OLED display. Companion app: BitBoxApp.
How it actually works
Open-source firmware. Secure-element chip with side-channel attack protections. Supports Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and ERC-20 tokens (in Multi edition). Strong privacy posture — no telemetry, no required registration. USB-C connection, no Bluetooth.
What it means for you
BitBox02 is the European-engineered alternative to Ledger and Trezor. Strong on privacy, minimalist UX, slightly fewer supported assets. For European HNW users with a Bitcoin-heavy thesis, BitBox02 plus self-hosted backup is a clean, Swiss-jurisdiction-friendly setup.
