About Foundation

Founded in 2020, Foundation designs and assembles hardware and software that put you – not corporations, not governments, not algorithms – in control of your digital life.

The promise of personal computing was liberation. For a brief window, it delivered. But the tech industry consolidated into a handful of gatekeepers who monetize your data, censor your speech, and hold the keys to your digital existence. Every app, every account, every transaction flows through infrastructure designed to serve them, not you.

We think that era is ending.

Bitcoin proved that trust can be replaced with cryptography. That breakthrough opened the door to a world where you don’t need permission to store value, transact, or prove who you are. Foundation exists to make that world accessible – through hardware and software that are open source, verifiable, and sovereign by design.

Our approach is different from most of the industry. We build hardware. Real, physical devices designed and assembled in the USA, running open source firmware you can verify yourself. We believe sovereignty starts with something you can hold in your hand – something no one can update, revoke, or compromise without your knowledge.

Passport is our flagship hardware platform: purpose-built to secure your Bitcoin and your digital identity. Envoy is our companion mobile app, designed to make self-custody intuitive and beautiful. Together, they form a system where security and usability aren’t at odds.

But we’re building more than a wallet company. Bitcoin was the beginning. As every aspect of life moves online – money, identity, communication, AI – the need for personal, verifiable, hardware-rooted trust is only growing. Foundation is building the tools to meet that moment.

Our code is open. Our hardware is auditable. Our business model is selling you products, not selling your data.
