How to Prove Your Bitcoin (BTC) Balance Without Showing Your Wallet
Need to show that you hold Bitcoin? Bitcoin is the coin most big deals are quoted in, and wallets can hold huge sums at a single address, which makes privacy matter even more. Here is how to prove a BTC balance and keep the wallet address private.
Why BTC holders get asked for proof
Whenever BTC is part of a deal, the other side wants to know the money is real. The usual options are a screenshot, which can be edited, or a wallet address, which reveals everything the wallet has done.
A receipt gives a third option: a verified balance with the address left out.
Making a BTC proof on pof.lol
- Go to pof.lol and choose BTC.
- Send 10¢ worth of BTC from the wallet you want to prove.
- Copy the receipt link and share it.
What the receipt shows
The receipt shows your name, the verified balance, the coin and the date it was checked. It does not show the wallet address.
Good habits
Prove from the wallet that actually holds the BTC, not from a different one.
Make a fresh proof right before a deal if the date matters.
Never share a seed phrase or private key. A proof does not need them.
The fine print
A pof.lol receipt is a snapshot of the balance at the moment you made the proof. It is not a live balance and it does not promise the funds are still there later.
