Bitcoin recovery — restoring access to lost funds

Bitcoin Recovery

Locked out of your Bitcoin? A forgotten passphrase, a damaged device, an incomplete seed, or a wallet you can no longer open — we may be able to help you get back in. We start with a call to understand your situation and give you an honest read on whether recovery is realistic, then work methodically and securely to restore your access.

How it works:

  • One-time fee to book a call and assess your case
  • An honest, upfront read on whether recovery is possible
  • A methodical, security-first recovery process
  • You stay in control of your funds throughout
  • Success fee of 10% only on assets we actually recover

$125 to book a call · $113 with Bitcoin · plus 10% of assets recovered

Self-custody, security & business integration

Bitcoin was first introduced into my life in 2016 shortly after completing my undergraduate degree (BComm) from Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada. I ignored it and paid dearly for doing so. Moved to El Salvador shortly before President Nayib Bukele announced he would be making Bitcoin legal tender across the nation. Have dedicated my life to Bitcoin since September 7th 2021, focusing on self-custody, security and business integration. Thanks to Bitcoin I have exited the FIAT system and help others do the same.

Co-founder

I’ve been onboarding Bitcoiners since 2013 and have dedicated my career to making Bitcoin easier to understand, use, and protect. I ran QuickBT in Canada from 2013-2018, welcoming over 90,000 early Canadians to Bitcoin. I co-founded The Bitcoin Hardware Store in 2023 after moving to El Salvador, to create a physical space Bitcoiners could trust to come and explain their most complex questions. If you have questions nobody else can answer, I’m here to help. Book an audit for up to a 90 minute conversation.
