Common situations we investigate
• You bought Bitcoin on an exchange that later shut down — QuadrigaCX, Mt. Gox and others
• An old laptop, phone or backup drive may hold your wallet
• Purchase confirmation emails or bank statements survive from when you bought
• You have a Bitcoin address and want to know what the blockchain shows
• A spouse or parent who owned Bitcoin has died, and the family or executor needs the trail documented
• You're a senior who bought years ago and wants plain-English help
Frequently asked questions
How can I find Bitcoin I bought years ago?
Start with the clues that survive: the device you bought it on, your original email account, bank or card statements, and the name of the exchange. Our free assessment organizes those clues and identifies your strongest leads before you pay anything. If a credible lead exists, the full Investigation Report ($9.99) turns it into a prioritized plan.
I have a Bitcoin address — what can you tell me?
A Wallet Report ($4.99 for the first address, $1.99 for each additional one) checks the public blockchain: transaction history, balance, and first and last activity, explained in plain English. A balance does not prove ownership or that the Bitcoin can be accessed — the report is clear about what remains unknown.
My exchange shut down. Is my Bitcoin gone?
Not necessarily. When an exchange such as QuadrigaCX or Mt. Gox closes, the path runs through records and any official claims process rather than a login page. Purchase emails and bank statements from that period are the key evidence — preserve them.
My spouse or parent died and may have owned Bitcoin. What should we do?
Don't delete their email and don't wipe their computer — those hold the records an investigation needs. Only the executor or another legally authorized person should act for the estate. We can document what is known, what is a lead, and what is unknown for the estate file.
Is Lost Bitcoin a scam? Will you ask for my seed phrase?
Verify us the way you'd verify anyone: type lostbitcoin.org into your browser yourself, note that the assessment is free and prices are public, and that payment goes through Stripe. And no — we will never ask for your seed phrase, private key, or wallet password. No legitimate service needs them.
Do you guarantee you will recover my Bitcoin?
No — and you should be suspicious of anyone who does. Lost Bitcoin sells investigation, evidence and guidance. We classify what is confirmed, what is a possible lead, and what is unknown, and we only offer a paid report when a credible lead exists.
