Tangem, a Swiss hardware wallet manufacturer, announced on June 02, 2026, the expansion of its U.S. retail presence through a distribution agreement with Best Buy, placing its self-custody cryptocurrency storage products on BestBuy.com and in more than 200 Best Buy stores nationwide. The launch represents the company's largest U.S. retail expansion to date, building upon existing availability through Walmart, Amazon, and Virgin Megastore. The move addresses growing demand for hardware-based storage solutions that allow users to maintain direct control over digital assets outside centralized exchanges, amid ongoing industry concerns over exchange-related security incidents.
Tangem Launches Hardware Wallets Across 200+ Best Buy Stores
The distribution agreement places Tangem's products on BestBuy.com and in more than 200 Best Buy stores nationwide. The company's hardware wallets are now available through major U.S. retailers including Walmart, Amazon, Virgin Megastore, and Best Buy. According to Andrey Lazutkin, Chief Technology Officer of Tangem, "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. That combination has never existed at this scale, and it fundamentally changes who self-custody is for."
The expansion broadens consumer access to hardware-based cryptocurrency storage solutions. While hardware wallets are regarded as one of the most secure methods of safeguarding digital assets, a large share of cryptocurrency holdings remains stored on centralized trading platforms.
Tangem Wallet and Tangem Ring Feature NFC Technology and Seedless Backup
Products now available through Best Buy include the Tangem Wallet and the Tangem Ring. The Tangem Wallet is a card-sized NFC-enabled hardware wallet sold in sets of two or three cards, with each card serving as both a wallet access device and a backup. The Tangem Ring is a wearable hardware wallet constructed from zirconia ceramic and is sold alongside two companion cards.
Both products operate as non-custodial cold wallets, generating and storing private keys directly on secure hardware chips rather than on servers or mobile devices. The company's seedless backup architecture is designed to reduce reliance on traditional recovery phrases while maintaining optional support for seed phrase import and wallet migration. Through integration with the Tangem mobile application, users can store, stake, swap, and spend digital assets, including access to payment functionality through Tangem Pay with compatibility for Apple Pay and Google Pay. Transactions are authorized directly on the hardware device and supplemented by access-code protection and optional biometric security features.
Tangem Reports 6 Million Devices Deployed Across 170 Countries
According to the company, Tangem's products are currently used in 170 countries and support more than 16,000 digital assets across over 90 blockchain networks. The company reports that its wallet infrastructure has been deployed on more than six million devices, with setup designed to be completed in under two minutes. The Best Buy rollout marks the latest step in Tangem's effort to expand the accessibility of self-custody solutions to a broader consumer audience.
