🧸 How does the Bitcoin Bear work?
💰 Step 1 – Load me with Bitcoin
When you place your order, you choose how much Bitcoin to add and set a future unlock date (for example, a birthday or Christmas).
The Bitcoin gift value is securely held in pooled safekeeping via our regulated crypto partner until the unlock date. It remains protected and visible at all times. You’ll need to make sure that the recipient is 18+ on the unlock date.
🎁 Step 2 – Gift me to someone special
Each bear arrives with its Certificate of Authenticity and unique Bear Number.
Inside, the recipient will find a QR code (on both the bear and the certificate) that lets them see their bear’s Bitcoin balance at any time - no crypto knowledge required.
📈 Step 3 – Track my live value
Your bear’s adventure begins!
Scanning the QR code brings up a secure webpage showing the current Bitcoin and GBP value, updated automatically.
It’s a simple, fun way to watch the ups and downs of the Bitcoin market - a gentle introduction to the world of crypto.
🔓 Step 4 – Unlock my hidden fortune
One week before the unlock date, the recipient gets an email containing their Claim Code.
When the big day arrives, they visit our Claim Page and enter:
- Their Bear Number
- Their Claim Code
- Their email address
- Their Bitcoin wallet address
Once verified, the Bitcoin held in safekeeping is transferred directly from our custody to their own wallet — safely and transparently. If they don’t yet have a Bitcoin wallet, our guide makes it easy to set one up first.
