How do I connect my Bitcoin?
When you connect your Bitcoin to Hoseki Prove, we create what we call a claim — your verifiable receipt of ownership in Bitcoin’s finite supply. You connect a wallet or device, sign a message, and we verify that signature and register it as a claim in your account.
How to add a claim
From the Home screen, click Claims in the header or begin generating a statement.
If you have an Access Request, you can add a claim by responding to it and clicking the link within the request.
Claims can then be added while responding to a sharing request, a statement request, or when generating a statement for yourself:
Each of these paths takes you to the Claims screen, where you can choose either the guided flow — which walks you step-by-step through proving your Bitcoin — or the manual flow for advanced users who are comfortable with their wallet software or are using a device we don’t yet support with a guided flow.
Step 1: Choose your flow
Guided flow (recommended)
Use this if you have a supported hardware wallet. We currently support: Trezor, Ledger, and Coldcard.
- Select your device and follow the on-screen prompts.
- Approve any USB/bridge permissions and confirm on your device.
Manual flow
Use this for any wallet or device not listed above — or if you prefer using your wallet software directly. You’ll sign a message in your wallet and paste the signature into Prove.

Step 2: Connect and sign
- Follow the guided or manual steps to connect your wallet or device.
- Sign the provided message to prove control. Once verified, your claim will appear in your account.
