Verdict
In our overall rating BitBox02 Multi leads with 4.8 against 4.6 for Ledger Nano X.
For most investors BitBox02 Multi is therefore the better choice.
Our under-the-radar pick from Switzerland: a genuinely well-thought-out backup concept (microSD rather than a paper seed alone), open source, and set up in seconds. If your focus is Bitcoin, the even more stripped-back Bitcoin-only edition is the better fit.
If you manage a broad portfolio and want to reach your wallet from your phone, the Nano X remains a first-choice device in 2026. If you have no use for Bluetooth, the cheaper Nano S Plus gives you virtually the same protection for a fraction of the price.
