The concept of physical bitcoin is not something new in the market and is in existence since 2011. It falls under the category of cold storage wallet and offers a high level of security to users. Casascius was the first bitcoin company to launch physical-bitcoin in 2011, but couldn’t continue longer due to unfavorable regulatory conditions, therefore closed down its operations in 2013.

With the void left by the closing down of Casascius, Denarium was quick to identify the gap and announced the international rollout of next-generation physical bitcoins in 2015.

Let’s have a review of the features of Denarium’s physical bitcoin.

Overview Of Denarium

Denarium is a Finland-based crypto startup that also owns the country’s largest crypto exchange Bittiraha.fi and the largest ATM network in NORDICS Bittimaatti.

It offers a series of low-cost as well as premium physical bitcoin that is designed to be loaded with a custom bitcoin amount. With a favorable regulatory environment in Finland, it helped Denarium to gain a strong foothold and soon became the undisputed leader of the space.

Initially, the startup rolled out the 1/10 BTC and 1/100 BTC series, which attracted significant attention from the collectors. Soon, it launched many affordable and premium ranges of physical bitcoin including gold collection, premium collection, and gold-plated collection.

Denarium’s product range is also aimed towards stimulating the adoption of digital currencies. In an interview to an online publication house,  Henry Brade, Denarium CEO said:

“We want the coins in the hands of bitcoin enthusiasts all over the world so that they can use them as gifts to friends and family and while doing that they can explain what bitcoin is about.”

Security Features of Denarium Physical Bitcoin

  • Tamper-proof Hologram

The custom made high-security hologram functions as an added layer of security for the protection of the private key. The hologram makes it extremely difficult to counterfeit without leaving any trace of visible marks.

  • Private Key

Denarium uses a 30-character mini private key, that is printed inside the coin not only as plain text but also as a QR code. You need to scan the code inside to allow the importing of the private key to a mobile wallet.

The private key is printed only once, and the company directly supervises the printing process every phase. The printed private key or QR code makes it easier to redeem bitcoin value. 

  • Trustless Multisig Option

The physical bitcoin from Denerium is also the world’s first multisig physical bitcoin. You get the option to opt for multisig physical bitcoin at the time of placing the order. 

Denerium was criticized for their first product because they weren’t trustless coins. Since the private key is created and printed by Denerium, there remains an issue of trust and trust in the company. 

Therefore, Denerium added the multisig functionality to add an extra layer of security and provide customers with greater peace of mind. 

In the 2-of-2 multi-signature model, the personal public key is combined with the key in the Denerium coin to create a P2SH bitcoin address. The bitcoin is stored in the P2SH address and can be spent by signing the transaction with the private key in the coin and own private key.
