A Bitcoin backup plate is a durable, fireproof, and corrosion-resistant metal plate designed to securely store the seed phrase of your wallet. It protects your recovery phrase from physical damage caused by fire, water, or general wear and tear, ensuring your digital assets remain recoverable even if your device or paper backup is destroyed. This makes it an essential tool for safeguarding your Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies over the long term.

Using a 316L stainless steel plate for your seed phrase ensures maximum durability and protection. This material is highly resistant to fire, water, corrosion, and mechanical damage, making it ideal for safeguarding your recovery phrase in extreme conditions. Unlike paper or softer metals, 316L stainless steel maintains its integrity for decades, offering peace of mind for the secure, long-term storage of your wallet backup.

A backup plate made from 316L stainless steel protects your seed phrase by offering exceptional resistance to fire, water, and corrosion. Its fireproof properties allow it to withstand extreme temperatures, far higher than paper or plastic can endure. It is impervious to water, preventing damage from floods or humidity. Additionally, its corrosion-resistant nature ensures it remains intact and legible even in harsh environments, such as areas with high salinity or pollution. This durability guarantees your seed phrase remains secure and readable for generations.

BIP39 (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 39) is a standard that defines how to generate and use a mnemonic seed phrase—a series of 12, 18, or 24 words used to recover your cryptocurrency wallet. A backup plate is designed to store this seed phrase in a durable and secure form, ensuring it remains safe from physical damage, loss, or degradation. By engraving or stamping your BIP39-compliant seed phrase onto a backup plate, you protect your wallet’s recovery information for the long term.

To properly stamp your seed phrase on the plate, use an automatic centre punch to mark the first 4 letters of each BIP39 word. These 4 letters are unique identifiers for each word in the standard wordlist. Align the punch carefully on the plate’s grid or template for neatness. Apply consistent pressure with the punch to create clear, durable marks that are easy to read and resistant to wear over time.

No, the plate is designed as a single, solid piece to ensure maximum durability and integrity. Splitting it could compromise its resistance to physical damage, fire, and corrosion, reducing the effectiveness of your backup. For added security, consider splitting the seed phrase across multiple plates instead.

The plate can hold up to 24 words, with 12 words on each side. This accommodates a full BIP39 seed phrase while keeping the layout clear and legible.

After marking your backup, store the plate in a secure, fireproof, and waterproof location, such as a home safe or a bank safety deposit box. Avoid exposing it to easily accessible or high-risk areas. Ensure the location is discreet and known only to trusted individuals or documented securely for your reference.

316L stainless steel is used because it offers superior resistance to fire, water, corrosion, and physical damage compared to other materials. Its durability ensures your seed phrase remains intact even in extreme conditions, such as high temperatures or exposure to chemicals. Unlike softer metals or plastics, 316L is highly robust and long-lasting, making it ideal for securing critical information like a cryptocurrency backup.
