Your keys. Your data. Your Bitcoin.
Vast amounts of Bitcoin have been stolen in hacks or lost after exchanges collapsed, leading to the famous saying:
"Not your keys, not your coins".

Financial freedom for all
Society's transition to a cashless economy has allowed banks and other intermediaries to control and monitor every transaction. Just as we fought similar mass surveillance of emails with Proton Mail, we want to enable everyone to own their money and securely transact with anyone.
Like Proton, Bitcoin leverages transparency and strong encryption to empower individuals, giving them control of their digital assets. Together, Proton and Bitcoin can make financial freedom attainable for all.
At Proton, we believe that financial freedom and privacy are core pillars of creating a free and fair society. This social mission drives everything we do and is the governing principle at the core of the non-profit Proton Foundation.

Our story
Proton was created in 2014 by scientists who met at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) and created Proton Mail, the world’s largest end-to-end encrypted email service. We have over 10 years of experience at the cutting edge of encryption and security, delivering free and open-source services to over 100 million people.
Proton Wallet is operated by Proton Financial AG, an independent Swiss subsidiary of Proton AG, whose primary shareholder is the non-profit Proton Foundation. Our core business is privacy and security. We do not speculate in crypto, and we are not a crypto trading firm or exchange.
Our only business is being a long-term, reliable Swiss vault for your digital assets and data, secured by the unwavering mathematical principles of encryption.
