The Easiest Way to
Own and Gift Bitcoin

Due to US government regulatory limitations, Ballet is currently allowed to sell Physical Bitcoin to some states/jurisdictions of the United States (see detailed list here).

Unfortunately, we cannot sell or ship Physical Bitcoin to residents of other states/jurisdictions or countries/regions at this time.

ACH transfers are temporarily unavailable as our payment processor transitions to a new backend provider for ACH payments, likely by the end of June. Payment by debit card is still available.

If you would like to be notified when ACH payments resume, please email support@ballet.com with the subject “ACH payment” and we will send a reply when functionality is restored.

Open the Ballet Crypto app and scan the card’s or coin’s QR code to view information about the bitcoin stored on the product.

For the coins, you can also use your phone camera to scan its QR code, which will direct you to a webpage that displays the coin’s information.

Ballet Physical Bitcoin provides value to users beyond just the value of the BTC stored on them. The price includes the value of the physical steel card or coin itself, which is a highly secure, durable, offline cold storage device. The price also includes the Bitcoin network transaction fee paid to load BTC onto the cards or coins and the crypto exchange transaction fee paid by Ballet to acquire the BTC.

Ballet does not support fiat currency withdrawals, so you will need to use a cryptocurrency exchange in your country to sell the bitcoin stored on your Physical Bitcoin.

No. Ballet only produces non-custodial crypto storage products, which means that we never have access to our users’ assets. The recipient of a new Ballet Physical Bitcoin, will have full, exclusive control of the bitcoin stored on the card or coin. Neither Ballet nor any other third party will ever be able to digitally confiscate or freeze the bitcoin stored on the card or coin.

No. Ballet Physical Bitcoin does not have any electronic components, and they cannot be used to make digital payments (neither fiat nor bitcoin). They were designed as a way to safely and easily store bitcoin for the long term, not as a tool for ordinary day-to-day shopping.

Technically, yes, you can add any amount of bitcoin to the address of your Physical Bitcoin as many times as you want. However, we advise against it in order to prevent confusion. Ballet Physical Bitcoins were designed to hold the exact same amount of bitcoin as the denomination shows, so that people will have an easier time managing and keeping track of their physical bitcoin portfolio.

Yes, if you are ordering Physical Bitcoin, Ballet may conduct KYC (Know Your Customer) to comply with regulatory requirements to inhibit activities like fraud, money laundering, and terrorist financing.
