Satochip SRL, a Belgium-based company specializing in secure hardware solutions for digital asset self-custody, today announced that it has secured part of its ongoing bridge financing round with support from existing shareholders and new business angels.

The bridge round will support the company’s strategic expansion into the United States, enabling Satochip to establish a local presence and accelerate sales in one of the world’s largest digital asset markets.

Founded in Belgium, Satochip develops open-source secure hardware wallets and smart card solutions, designed to give users full control over their digital assets. The company’s technology emphasizes security, transparency, and sovereignty, “aligning with the growing global demand for self-custody solutions” according to a press release shared with Bitcoin Magazine.

Satochip SRL offers a focused line of open-source NFC smartcard-based hardware solutions for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency self-custody. Its flagship product, the Satochip, is a credit-card-form-factor hardware wallet equipped with an EAL6+ certified secure element that supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 1,000 tokens and NFTs. It pairs with desktop wallets such as Sparrow and Electrum, as well as mobile apps, and requires no battery or screen—transactions are verified through connected software. The company also produces the Satodime, a giftable bearer cold-storage card serving as a modern paper-wallet replacement, and the Seedkeeper, a hardware vault for securely storing seed phrases and passwords.
