BitHide review: a self-hosted crypto wallet for business

bithide.io

BitHide sells a business crypto wallet that the merchant installs on its own server, with a payment gateway, mass payouts and AML screening. The licence is paid once, in crypto, at a price the site does not publish.

Our verdict on BitHide

BitHide suits an adult business that takes and sends a lot of crypto, has staff who need different access rights, and wants its keys on its own server. Payouts can require two approvals, which guards against a mistake or a rogue employee.

The price is only known at purchase, and the licence fee is non-refundable. A server must also be kept running.

Mass payouts with BitHide

BitHide sends hundreds of payments in a few clicks and offers crypto payroll pages. Balances across every wallet and address are reconciled in one view and can be exported to CSV or Excel. For a studio paying many models or affiliates, this is the main draw.

How BitHide works

BitHide is wallet software installed on the merchant’s server, and only the merchant controls the private keys, the funds and staff access. The company presents itself as a software provider. Data is protected with 512-bit encryption and backed up in real time.

The payment gateway

The gateway accepts and stores Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, USDT and TRX, among others. It connects to a site through an API, widgets or payment pages. AML screening, supplied by third-party providers, can check incoming and outgoing flows.

Team access rights

Each employee gets specific access rights, and a payout can require sign-off from two people. Logins are protected by two-factor authentication, a PIN and a fingerprint. A white-label version of the wallet is also offered.

What BitHide costs

The software license agreement sets a one-time, non-refundable fee paid in crypto, with the amount given at purchase. The same sum is credited to a billing balance that can only be spent on BitHide services. The price list sits in an appendix that is not published.

Who is behind BitHide

BITHIDE SOLUTION LLC is based in Tbilisi, Georgia, with a copyright notice running from 2021. No financial licence is published.
