- Bitkey has integrated with a new Bitcoin on-ramp.
- The hardware wallet has previous integrations with Coinbase and Cash App.
- Bitkey said the new integration aimed to enhance access to Bitcoin.
Crypto hardware wallet Bitkey has integrated with fintech company MoonPay to offer users new ways of purchasing Bitcoin.
Created by Jack Dorsey’s company Block, Bitkey launched in December 2023 as a self-custody Bitcoin wallet rivaling existing manufacturers like Trezor and Ledger. The wallet has previous partnerships with Cash App and Coinbase Pay.
Bitkey’s Partnership with MoonPay
In a blog post dated July 16, Bitkey said its customers can fund their Bitcoin purchases using MoonPay’s popular payment options, such as credit and debit cards, bank transfers, Google Pay, and Apple Pay.

Bitkey users in the United Kingdom and the EU (excluding Croatia, Hungary, and Iceland) can also leverage MoonPay to complete crypto purchases with a PayPal account.
“This makes transactions more accessible and convenient, catering to a global audience and extends the availability for Bitkey customers to purchase bitcoin to more territories,” the company said.
In addition to the partnership, Bitkey has “continuously shipped improvements” to its Bitcoin wallet experience and added new features, the blog post said.
These include fingerprint enrollment improvements to allow the use of multiple fingerprints to unlock the hardware wallet, biometric sign-ups, and “expected transaction” functionality to show the status of incoming transfers.
The development follows a July 12 announcement that Bitkey creator Block had partnered with Core Scientific. The tie-up will see the Bitcoin minder use Block’s new 3-nanometer ASIC mining chips.
