Desktop wallet

Your Wallet. Your Bitcoin.

A calm, clear Bitcoin wallet for Windows, macOS and Linux. Receive, hold and send without the noise.

Made for

Four rules

How we build

  • Ownership starts with clarity

    See what you hold, in plain words. Every screen answers one question and answers it well.

  • Privacy deserves intent

    Share only what you choose to, when you choose to. Good defaults should respect that.

  • Act with awareness

    Every detail in view before you send. Address, amount and fee are spelled out, never tucked away.

  • Built where you can follow it

    Each version ships with release notes and published checksums, so you can see what changed.

Manifesto

Bitcoin doesn’t need more noise. It needs clarity — so holding bitcoin feels steady, understood and entirely your own.

Three things, done well

  1. Receive.

    Create an address to share, then see clearly what arrived and when. No guessing, no digging through menus.

  2. Hold.

    Your balance and history in one quiet view. Nothing on screen competes for your attention.

  3. Send.

    Review the address, the amount and the network fee in one place before anything leaves your wallet.

Download for desktop

Pick your system. Every file has a published checksum, so you can confirm it before you install.

Don’t trust. Verify

Before you install

A checksum is a fingerprint of a file. If yours matches the one we publish, the file is exactly the one we released. It takes about a minute.

  1. 01

    Download

    Get the file for your system from the section above and leave it in your Downloads folder.

  2. 02

    Calculate its checksum

    Run this command in Terminal. The result is a 64-character SHA-256 checksum.

    shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/MyBTCWallet.dmg
  3. 03

    Compare, then install

    Match it against the published checksum. If every character matches, install. If not, delete the file.

Bitcoin is a promise anyone can check. Your wallet should be, too: fixed rules, open verification, no favours.

FAQ

Questions

Which systems does My BTC Wallet run on?

Windows, macOS and Linux. Choose your system in the Download section.

Where should I download My BTC Wallet from?

Only from this page. Copies hosted elsewhere may have been modified. If you are unsure about a file, check its checksum before you open it.

How do I verify my download?

Calculate the file’s SHA-256 checksum with the command in Verify and compare it with the published one. If they differ, delete the file and do not install it.

Will My BTC Wallet ever ask for my recovery phrase?

No. Not by email, chat, support ticket or pop-up. Anyone who asks for your recovery phrase is trying to take your bitcoin.

What is a recovery phrase?

A list of words, usually 12 or 24, that can restore access to a wallet. Write it on paper, keep it offline, and never photograph it or type it into a website.

What is a sat?

The smallest unit of bitcoin, named after Satoshi Nakamoto. One sat is 0.00000001 BTC, so 100,000,000 sats make one bitcoin.

How do I update to a new version?

New versions are listed in the release notes with their checksums. Download the new file, verify it, then install it the same way as the first time.
