No processors taking a cut. Donors pay a wallet you control, and every gift is automatically recorded, valued and acknowledged.
Watch-only. We derive addresses from your public key and hold nothing that can sign.
Encrypted at rest, exportable, deletable on request. Never sold, never used for anything else.
If we vanish, your wallet still sees every gift, and your exports are yours.
AGPL-3.0. Self-host it, audit it, or let us run it for you.
Built for organisations that receive bitcoin at an address they control. Whether you hold it as a treasury asset or sell it, the gift goes straight from the donor to your wallet.
From your website
to your donation records.
Connect your wallet, then paste a small snippet into your website. Customise it to suit your charity.
Donors get a fresh address belonging to your wallet. They send bitcoin from their own wallet, straight to yours.
Each gift gets a record, a value at block time and an acknowledgement for donors who leave an email. Export your records whenever you need them.
Setup starts with your wallet’s extended public key (XPUB). It lets SatsRecord generate receiving addresses; it cannot spend your bitcoin. Read the wallet FAQ.
Download donations and donors as CSV. Corrections are amendments, so the original stays on record. If you leave, your records leave with you. More in the FAQ.
Ways a charity can accept bitcoin today, and the trade-offs of each.

Free to run yourself, or a flat monthly fee for us to host it. A larger gift costs nothing more to record.
The same code, on your server. Bring your own node, or point it at mempool.space, which sees every address you check.
We run the node, carry the data-protection burden and keep the lights on. Nothing to install or maintain, and guided setup for your wallet key and donor emails.
Invite-only while we run a pilot with charities in the UK and US. Tell us about your organisation and we'll be in touch.
