BitVault × wave.space: Buy Bitcoin Straight Into a Protected Vault
We are partnering with wave.space to make one of the most common Bitcoin saving habits easier to maintain and much safer: buying regularly and moving those savings into a setup designed for long-term self-custody.
With the new integration, wave.space users can direct their Bitcoin purchases straight to a vault. Instead of buying Bitcoin first and then having to remember to move it somewhere safer later, the two steps can become part of the same routine.
This matters particularly for people using a cost averaging strategy. Buying regularly sounds simple, but in practice the process often breaks in one of two places: either the purchase itself gets forgotten, or the Bitcoin is bought but the move into more secure storage keeps being postponed. Automating regular purchases helps with the first problem. Sending those purchases directly into a vault helps with the second.
Once the setup is complete, the Bitcoin you are building up over time can go directly to the place where you intend to keep it, without repeating withdrawals, copying a new address every month, or relying on yourself to remember one more security task.
Adding time to self-custody
BitVault is designed around a simple idea: controlling the signing keys should not necessarily mean that Bitcoin can leave a vault immediately.
A BitVault vault combines multisig with a built-in transaction delay. When a protected transaction is created, there is a period before the funds can move, giving the owner time to notice unexpected activity and react if something is wrong.
That changes the outcome of situations where a signing device, phone or part of the signing setup has been compromised. It also changes the dynamics of physical coercion, because approving a transaction does not automatically make the Bitcoin immediately available to whoever is applying the pressure.
The purpose of the delay is not to make Bitcoin harder to use. It is to give long-term savings a different security model from funds that need to remain immediately spendable.
BitVault remains a self-custodial setup. The service cannot move the Bitcoin by itself, and the vault includes a long-term recovery path designed so that access to the funds does not permanently depend on BitVault continuing to operate.
From wave.space to your BitVault vault
The integration keeps the user journey deliberately simple. After creating a vault, the user connects its receive address to wave.space and gets a dedicated personal vIBAN for all future Bitcoin purchases into that address.
From that point on, purchases made through wave.space can arrive directly in the vault rather than passing through an intermediate balance that still needs to be moved manually.
Wave.space has published a detailed guide explaining its side of the setup and how to configure the purchasing flow. From the BitVault side, the important part is what happens afterwards: Bitcoin intended for long-term savings arrives directly inside a security setup built to protect it.
A better fit for Bitcoin you plan to keep
Not every Bitcoin balance needs the same level of friction. Funds used for payments or everyday spending need to remain accessible, while savings that are being accumulated over months or years can benefit from stronger protections and a deliberate delay before they can leave.
The wave.space integration makes it possible to separate those two use cases naturally. A user can keep an accessible balance for spending while directing long-term purchases straight into BitVault.
For someone already using cost averaging, this removes one of the easiest security steps to postpone. Buying Bitcoin and protecting it no longer need to be two habits that happen at different times.
Wave.space users currently receive 15% off BitVault plans, together with the applicable launch hardware-wallet offer.
