Move your Bitcoin off the exchange and into your own hands. Calmly, one checked step at a time.

16 pages and printable checklists. Blocky, our copper robot, does the hand-holding so the exchange no longer has to.

No sign-up, no payment. If it helps you and you want to keep SHATOSHI going, you can make an optional donation (in pounds, or in US dollars). The kit is the same either way.

Donations are optional and keep SHATOSHI free for everyone. Secure checkout by Stripe. SHATOSHI is not a registered charity, so donations are not Gift Aid eligible. Donations do not buy anything. If you donate and change your mind within 14 days of paying, email hello@shatoshi.co.uk and we will refund you in full. If the kit won't download, email us and we will help you get it. This does not affect your legal rights. See our terms and privacy notice.
