The future of digital asset security is now more accessible than ever. Starting today, Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus hardware wallets are available for same-day pickup at all Best Buy stores across the United States. This nationwide rollout marks a pivotal moment in the democratization of crypto self-custody, bringing enterprise-grade security to everyday consumers through one of America’s most trusted tech retailers.
With over 900 locations and a reputation for blending expert knowledge with customer-first service, Best Buy is the ideal partner to help bridge the gap between mainstream tech users and the evolving world of cryptocurrency. Now, anyone can walk into a store, purchase a Ledger device, and begin securing their digital assets within just one hour—no shipping delays, no waiting.
Why Self-Custody Matters More Than Ever
Recent events have underscored the urgent need for individuals to take full control of their crypto holdings. High-profile exchange bankruptcies—including Celsius, Voyager, and Hodlnaut—have left thousands unable to access their funds. Meanwhile, repeated security breaches, such as the widely publicized Solana wallet hacks and vulnerabilities in cross-chain bridges, have exposed the risks of relying on third-party custodians.

This surge in real-world risk has directly influenced consumer behavior. Best Buy reported a significant spike in Ledger sales following these incidents, confirming a growing awareness: if you don’t own your keys, you don’t own your crypto.
Pascal Gauthier, Chairman and CEO of Ledger, emphasized this point:
“There has never been a more important time to truly own your digital assets. Too many hacks, too many people losing their money through no fault of their own. With Best Buy we are making it easier than ever for customers in the US to take security into their own hands. In just 1 hour anyone can stop themselves from getting rekt. Remember: not your keys, not your coins.”
Seamless Access Meets Trusted Education
While availability is critical, education is equally vital. To support new users, select Best Buy locations now feature interactive displays powered by Ledger Academy—a free, multilingual educational platform available in nine languages. These kiosks guide customers through the fundamentals of crypto storage, explain the differences between hot and cold wallets, and walk users step-by-step through device setup and activation.
This initiative addresses a common barrier to entry: confusion. Many newcomers hesitate to adopt hardware wallets due to perceived complexity. By integrating intuitive learning tools directly into the retail experience, Ledger and Best Buy are lowering that barrier and empowering informed decisions.
Ian Rogers, Chief Experience Officer at Ledger, shared insights on the partnership’s early success:
“Our partnership with Best Buy has already allowed many people to take security into their own hands. During the recent Solana wallet exploits, consumers flocked to Best Buy to pick up a Ledger Nano and take ownership over their crypto and digital assets. Now, with our partners Best Buy, we’re making that easier and faster than ever across the entire United States.”
Built for Security, Backed by Trust
Ledger has long been a leader in secure digital asset management. Its hardware wallets utilize a secure element chip—similar to those used in credit cards and passports—to isolate private keys from internet-connected environments. This ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your crypto remains safe.
The Nano X offers Bluetooth connectivity and an app dashboard for managing multiple cryptocurrencies on the go, while the Nano S Plus delivers enhanced memory and performance at an accessible price point—ideal for beginners and intermediate users alike.
Both devices support:
- Over 23 major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano
- More than 1,500 ERC-20 and other Ethereum-based tokens
- NFTs and Web3 applications
In fact, 45 out of the top 100 transactions on OpenSea and 40% of Bored Ape Yacht Club transfers are secured using Ledger technology—proof that even high-value digital collectibles rely on its robust infrastructure.

A Growing Mission in a Web3 World
Ledger’s mission extends beyond products. As Web3 adoption accelerates, the line between digital identity, ownership, and value continues to blur. Users increasingly find themselves using outdated Web2 tools to manage next-generation assets—a mismatch that creates vulnerabilities.
By making self-custody tools widely available through mainstream retail channels like Best Buy, Ledger is helping reshape how people think about ownership in the digital age. Whether you're holding Bitcoin as long-term savings, trading altcoins, or collecting NFTs, having direct control over your private keys isn’t just best practice—it’s essential.
And with global shipping and support in nine languages, this expansion isn’t limited to the U.S. Ledger continues to scale its impact worldwide, ensuring that security remains universal.
