Buoy Bitcoin quickly guides you to the best options that fit your needs.
Buoy helps you find reliable Bitcoin wallets, on-ramps, merchant tools, and nodes—without the noise. Search a service, tap Compare, and review what actually matters: custody model (non-custodial, collaborative, or custodial), fees, KYC, Lightning support, and availability where you live.
We’re Bitcoin-only and independent. No paid placements; it's value for value only. Our mission is to make it effortless for newcomers to choose safe, practical Bitcoin tools and move toward self-sovereignty.
How it works: we auto-detect your country to show services available in your jurisdiction. If detection isn’t possible, use the country selector in the menu. Add up to 2 services on mobile or 3 on desktop to compare side-by-side.
