Physical backup for your digital assets
Backing up your Bitcoin and crypto wallet is crucial. It guarantees that your funds can be recovered if your hardware wallet is lost or damaged.
By default, the Bluhm backs up data on a microSD card. You can also create an additional physical backup by writing down 24 recovery words. This is an excellent option as it is interoperable, transparent, and, depending on the material used, can last for generations.
Our backup card simplifies the process of creating a handwritten backup. It's printed on durable, aging-resistant cardboard and can be laminated without a machine for extra protection. Privacy is a priority, so there’s no mention of Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies on the outside. The instructions inside, along with the included booklet, guide you through every step of backing up your wallet.

Writing down the 24 recovery words isn’t always straightforward and requires specific precautions. The same applies when recovering your wallet—whether by you or someone else, potentially long into the future.
A backup must endure the passage of time. The backup card is made from premium, high-quality cardboard that is both chlorine-free and acid-free, ensuring its longevity. It is sourced from a specialized paper manufacturer with over 100 years of experience.
The backup card is crafted from fine 270 g/m² cardboard, used in three layers for the outer cover and backup inlay, resulting in a sturdy, durable card. The included cold-lamination pouch provides essential protection against moisture and physical wear, and it doesn’t require a lamination machine.
The Steelwallet is an apocalypse-proof backup card. Made from stainless steel, it safeguards your recovery words against fire, water, electric shocks, corrosion, and virtually any challenge nature can throw at it.
