Founded in Switzerland in 2017, Tangem is a crypto wallet maker that manufactures hardware self-custody products to secure digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
The Zug, Switzerland-headquartered firm says its cold wallet solutions support more than 16,000 tokens across over 90 blockchains and are trusted in 170 countries.

Tangem's main offerings are a credit card-sized NFC hardware wallet and a ring-sized wearable wallet, which need to be paired with the Tangem app. Users can securely store, stake, swap, and spend virtual assets, including Visa payments via Tangem Pay with Apple Pay and Google Pay compatibility.
Tangem’s mobile-native design combines cold-storage security with active self-custody so that users have a single interface to actively manage their crypto holdings.
Tangem wallets are already available across the world's top retailers like Walmart, Amazon, and Virgin Megastore.
The firm announced on June 1 that its suite of crypto self-custody products is now available at the official website and more than 200 stores of the popular consumer electronics retailer Best Buy also.
“Getting Tangem Wallets onto Best Buy shelves means that for the first time, any consumer can access a hardware wallet that is both genuinely secure and genuinely easy to use," Tangem CTO Andrey Lazutkin said. "That combination has never existed at this scale, and it fundamentally changes who self-custody is for."
The Best Buy rollout marks Tangem's largest U.S. retail expansion to date. The firm said it highlights growing consumer demand for tools supporting direct ownership of crypto assets outside centralized platforms.
