Comparing: two wallets

Last reviewed: 2026-08-25

Bitcoin-only line from $79 to $149 that ships no secure element on purpose: a locked Jade holds nothing worth extracting.

Trezor Safe 54.4

Verdict: Trezor Safe 5

Trezor Safe 5 rates higher on our rubric: 4.4 against 4.3 for Blockstream Jade.

Criterion: Editorial rating
Blockstream Jade: 4.3

Pros and cons, side by side

Blockstream Jade

What works

Bitcoin only, with both firmware and hardware published as open source
Three tiers from $79 to $149 sharing one firmware and one security model
Genuine Check attestation lets you verify the device was actually made by Blockstream
Jade Plus signs fully air-gapped over QR codes and reads an SD card
Blockstream fixed the DARKNAVY report in three weeks and published a full public disclosure

What to watch

No certified secure element, which is a deliberate tradeoff but still a difference from Ledger, Trezor and BitBox
Firmware 1.0.24 through 1.0.36 carried a stack overflow that a compromised host could use to crash the device, and 1.0.35 and earlier could allow limited code execution
Jade Core has no camera, so air-gapped QR signing needs the Plus
Free international shipping is advertised with no country list behind it, and you may owe import fees

Trezor Safe 5

What works

Color touchscreen with haptic feedback makes address verification far easier to read than a two button screen
EAL6+ certified secure element with fully open source firmware, the same pairing as the Safe 3
Multi-share (Shamir) backup, microSD slot and FIDO2 two factor support
A Bitcoin-only edition strips every other chain out of the firmware

What to watch

More than twice the price of the Safe 3 for the same security model
iOS is view only: no setup, sending or device management from an iPhone
SecurityWeek reported in August 2026 that a breach at fulfilment partner ShipMonk exposed about 14,000 customers' shipping details
Trezor publishes no list of countries it ships to, only a checkout drop-down
