Zaprite and COLDCARD: Empowering Bitcoin Payments with Cold Storage Security

Bitcoin adoption continues to grow among freelancers, creators, and businesses worldwide. Yet one challenge persists – many users receive payments into hot wallets or custodial services, leaving funds vulnerable to hacks, freezes, or third-party surveillance. A new integration between Zaprite and COLDCARD addresses this gap by pairing seamless Bitcoin payments with unmatched hardware security.

A Perfect Match: Payments and Cold Storage

Zaprite is a Bitcoin-native payments and invoicing platform that enables individuals and businesses to accept Bitcoin directly, without intermediaries. Users can generate invoices, create payment links, and manage both recurring and one-off payments while maintaining full control of their private keys.

COLDCARD, created by Coinkite, is a Bitcoin-only hardware wallet trusted for its air-gapped security model. It ensures private keys never touch an internet-connected device, safeguarding them with dual secure elements, verifiable source code, and Bitcoin-only firmware.

Together, Zaprite and COLDCARD offer a smooth path from receiving Bitcoin to securing it in cold storage.

How the Integration Works

With the new integration, Zaprite users can receive Bitcoin payments directly to addresses generated by their COLDCARD wallet. Funds land instantly, free from custodians or vendor lock-in. Once received, users can move their Bitcoin into long-term storage using COLDCARD’s PSBT workflows – via NFC, MicroSD, or QR codes.

This workflow provides two critical benefits:

  1. Convenience – Users gain the ability to invoice and accept Bitcoin seamlessly through Zaprite.
  2. Sovereignty – Funds remain under the user’s control, secured by COLDCARD’s battle-tested hardware design.

Voices from the Teams

“Interoperability and open standards are essential for Bitcoin adoption,” said NVK, Co-Founder of Coinkite. “This collaboration ensures that users can move from payment to cold storage with minimal friction.”

John Magill, Founder & CEO of Zaprite, echoed this vision: “By integrating COLDCARD, our users get Zaprite’s seamless payment experience paired with the security of self-custody. It’s the perfect blend of convenience and sovereignty.”

Why This Matters

Bitcoin thrives on openness and trustlessness. This integration reflects that ethos by allowing users to accept payments in a non-custodial way and secure them without relying on third parties. It represents a step toward a world where freelancers, entrepreneurs, and businesses can operate fully in Bitcoin – from payments to long-term storage – while keeping ownership of their wealth.

As adoption accelerates, collaborations like this will continue to push Bitcoin forward, reinforcing its role as sound money for the digital age.
