## Verdict

BitBox02 is the Swiss open-source hardware wallet from Shift Crypto. Two editions — Bitcoin-only and Multi. Reproducible firmware, well-audited. Less third-party wallet integration than Trezor but a cleaner posture on the Bitcoin-only edition. Pair with Sparrow or Specter for the full workflow.

## Strengths

- Open-source firmware with reproducible builds.
- Two product lines — BitBox02 Multi-edition (BTC + others) and Bitcoin-only edition.
- Swiss operator; cryptography reviewed publicly.
- microSD-card backup separate from seed words.

## Caveats

- Shipping address binds the device to a physical location.
- Smaller ecosystem of third-party wallet integrations than Trezor or Ledger.
- Swiss operator jurisdiction.
