Ledger Examined Jul 27, 2026 Hardware wallet Correction on this page

Ledger’s bitcoin voucher is real, it is tiered by device, and our link does not show one.

Worth it ifyou hold enough crypto to want it off an exchange and on your own device. On the reward, use somebody else’s link rather than ours: certain named Ledger links attach a bitcoin voucher of $10 or $20 to the buyer, and ours surfaces none. We would rather you had the voucher than gave us the commission.
Up to $20 in BTC, tiered by device$5 on the cheapest NanoOur link shows no voucherExamined Jul 27
Up to $20 in BTCin Ledger’s own words, “up to $20 worth of Bitcoin when you purchase your Ledger device.” In practice it is tiered, so on the cheapest Nano S Plus that ceiling is $5

Ledger’s shop attaches the voucher to specific named links, and ours is not one of them. So which link you arrive on decides whether any of it reaches you, and which device you buy decides how much. A hardware wallet, a small device that keeps your crypto keys offline so a hacker who gets into your computer still cannot move your coins, is worth buying carefully either way, and no voucher changes that.

A correction, made 27 July 2026. Until today this page told you that affiliate links, ours included, give the buyer no bonus. The first half of that was wrong. Reading Ledger’s live shop configuration, some named affiliate links plainly do carry a buyer voucher: one reads “+$20 of free BTC”, and two more read “+$10 of free BTC”. Our own code is not on that list and no voucher card appeared when we loaded our link. We have left the link up because the official shop is the safe place to buy, and we have put this notice above it.

What the voucher pays, device by device

Nano S Plus or Nano X, the cheaper models$5 in BTC
Nano Gen5$10 in BTC
Ledger Flex or Ledger Stax, the premium models$20 in BTC

This is the whole of “up to $20”. The headline number sits on the two most expensive devices in the range, so a reader who came for the $20 and buys the entry-level Nano S Plus collects $5.

  • The headline, which needs a Ledger Flex or a Ledger Stax$20
  • The entry-level Nano S Plus, the device most people buy$5

Both figures come from Ledger’s own shop configuration, and only on a link that carries the voucher.

Where the money really goes

You, arriving on a link that carries a voucher$5 to $20 in BTC, by device

This site, if you buy through our linkA commission, paid by Ledger

The three voucher-bearing links named in the shop’s configuration belong to other people. We are not going to publish somebody else’s referral link as though it were a favour to you, and we cannot tell you which creators currently hold one.

Traps to know before you buy

  1. “Up to $20” means $5 on the device most people buy. The ceiling belongs to the Flex and the Stax. If you are buying an entry-level Nano, price the voucher at $5 and decide on the device, not the sweetener.
  2. Our link is not one of the voucher-bearing ones. We loaded it, waited for the page to finish building itself, and compared it against the plain shop: no “+$X of free BTC” card appeared, and our code is absent from the shop’s list of named links. We did not put a device in a basket, so we cannot swear to what happens at checkout.
  3. How to check any link in ten seconds. Open it, let the page settle, and look for a card offering free bitcoin. A link carrying the voucher advertises it on the landing page. If nothing appears, treat the link as paying the publisher and not you.
  4. There is no terms page to hold anyone to. The refer-a-friend and referral URLs return Ledger’s own 404, a search across the shop turns up no such page, and the shop’s terms and conditions contain no referral, voucher or coupon clause at all. That means no published rules on eligibility, timing, or what happens if you return the device, so treat the voucher as a nice surprise rather than a promise.
  5. Third-party sellers are the expensive mistake. People have received tampered or already-set-up devices from marketplace sellers, and a pre-set-up wallet hands your coins to a stranger. This matters far more than any voucher.
  6. Expect phishing, because of Ledger’s 2020 breach. A leaked customer database from 2020 still fuels convincing fake “Ledger” emails, texts and even printed letters asking you to verify your recovery phrase or install an update. Ledger will never ask for your 24 words. Anyone who does is stealing.
  7. Read the return policy before you break the seal. For security reasons an opened hardware wallet can be difficult to return, so be sure of the model before you open it.

Do this, in this order

  1. Decide whether you actually need one. A hardware wallet earns its keep once you hold an amount you would hate to lose to a hacked exchange or a drained hot wallet. Holding pocket change, it may be more device than you need yet.
  2. Pick the device first, then look at the voucher. The gap between $5 and $20 is a device-price gap of a few hundred dollars. Never buy up a tier to chase $15 of bitcoin.
  3. Check whether your link shows a voucher card, and prefer one that does.
  4. Buy only from Ledger’s official store. Whichever link you use, the destination should be Ledger’s own shop, so the device arrives sealed and untouched.
  5. Set it up yourself and write the 24 words on paper. During setup the device shows you a recovery phrase, 24 words that are the master key to everything on it. Write them on paper, store them somewhere private, and never type them into a phone or computer, never photograph them, and never tell them to anyone. Whoever holds those words holds your crypto.
How we are paid: the button below is our affiliate link to Ledger’s official shop. If you buy through it, Ledger pays this site a commission, at no cost to you and with no change to your price. It showed no buyer voucher when we examined it on 27 July 2026, and our code is not among the named links the shop attaches a voucher to, so if you can arrive on one that does show a voucher card, you are better off using that link than ours. If a Ledger sale is running, that price is yours either way.

Is it worth your time?

If you hold real crypto and want it off exchanges, a Ledger is a sound buy, and the two things that decide whether it protects you are free: buy it from the official store, and guard the 24 words like cash. The voucher is a rounding error next to that. It is worth having, it is worth understanding that it is $5 on the device most people buy, and it is worth arriving through a link that carries it. Ours does not. If what you actually want is a signup bonus, an exchange offer that pays you outright is a better use of ten minutes than a wallet purchase dressed up as one.
