When I read that I think I found a possible GENIUS idea: print the physical wallets half their scales and glue them to a page of a random book from your bookshelf. Remember the books' color and make sure there is no other book of that color in the bookshelf or just mark it so only you know that it's the "safe" one, and put it back in the shelf. Even if a thief comes and throws away all the books, the chances will be VERY small for that book to open exactly at the page they're glued!
Topic: How would you store >100 Bitcoins? (Read 42311 times)
I don't have 100btc, but if I would - I would store them on a different physical electronic device, built for the sole purpose of securing bitcoins.
in this above link https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet you can found all of bitcoin trusted wallet list.I would prefer Electrum wallet.Its best to me,I am using this wallet for regular and holding bitcoin.
That kinda hard especially here in my country since we only have one trusted and popular online wallet. But splitting it up would be a great idea. Multiple hard wallets is the answer to your question lol
Having 100 Bitcoins is a huge situation in which if i will have that amount then i will slowly to convert it to cash and use it as capital to own a big businesses like having my own local exchanges in which while i'm earning it keeping my 100 Bitcoins safe for free but if you really want is just to make your 100 Bitcoins sleep then indeed buying multiple hard wallets is the best and most common suggestion because it is 100% guarantee safe like Ledger Nano S or TREZOR.
If i had 100 BTC i would buy 4-5 Ledgers and Notebook (with turned off wifi module), divided my BTCs in equal parts on ledgers, save passphrases on notebook and encrypt it.

If you have a 100 bitcoins right now your a millionaire 
back to the question, the best wallet to hold your bitcoins is cold and offline wallet that is the most secure wallet to store your bitcoins i know, cold and offline wallet is better than paper etc wallet.

I think that for storing such a large volume of Bitcoins, the only safe option is multiple hardware wallets. But I am not that familiar with hardware wallets either. I know that they can't be hacked. But is it possible to store the backups in multiple locations? What will happen if the hardware gets corrupted?
If you have the seed then I guess you are fine, you could create several backups of the seed, encrypt them and then you keep your encryption key under your control that way no one but you can access to your seed. If you are having a hard time what holder you should use to keep your bitcoins save then the best thing to do is ask some reliable person who are already pioneers on trading or anyone who is capable to give you advice on how to keep your coins safely.
I think splitting them up is a good idea. I split my coins in increments of 10, I have been thinking about lowering to 5, that way if I need to sell some without compromising my other coins, i just redeem the 5 coin, or better yet, have a mixture. 1 25btc, 3 10btc, and the rest 5btc.With 10 paper wallets you risk them being destroyed. You also have the problem of not having a true hot wallet in order to send bitcoins on the fly with unless you carry the paper wallet in addition to your phone and scan in the key.

for me very simple , 30 btc i will convert them to fiat currency and invest them in real estate. 20 btc i will keep for future expenses and playing in sports betting. Balance 50 btc i will keep in a hardware wallet and forget it for long term future.
100? I would personally design a custom bill and print pretty little hollogram stickers to cover the private keys and make 100 of them. I'd put a bitcoin on each one. I would have a lot of fun with this. I'd probably split them up like 20 in 4 different bank safety deposit boxes and the last 20 in a home safe that's bolted or embedded into the floor.
Print multiple copies of paper wallets each 1 or 5 BTC and diversify them between places. Also put half of them also in the bank deposit.
I agreed some how.To avoid hacking don't trust your friends and specially those who are unknown try to avoid friend and sharing your personal life with other.It can save your wallet in software cores too.i will keep 50 bitcoin in a trezor hardware, 2 bitcoin in each of exchanges let say i used 5-7 exchanges for doing trading), the rest maybe i will save it in blockchain and i am not using the amount in blockchain in any purpose except i am on emergency situation. its the best way that we can do if we can save our bitcoin in many wallets but we need to managed on every wallet.
I hope you realize that hardware wallets can be hacked into. I read somewhere that they were able to retrieve private keys from a trezor by monitoring its power output with an oscilloscope... Not even anything near a difficult software hack, just a little tinkering and probing... They've upgraded it since then, but there are probably other ways of bruteforcing it.I politely suggest you do more research. In 2015 a hardware/software engineer managed to extract the seed from a trezor using specialist equipment. However this security issue was promptly fixed with a firmware update and in addition to having the required knowledge and equipment a thief would also have to have the actual trezor and the correct pin , pls remember the time delay with every wrong entry. I.e. 30 + entries = years. The engineer who did this now works for trezor. Hacking is nearly impossible due to the fact that the best hardware wallets never actually connect to the internet directly.

The best idea in storing these maybe in different wallets? one paper and one hardware and splitting the coin between them, although the difficulty will double in securing both of them but the risk will be lower.
The answer is definitely related to a trezor or a hardware wallet, very secure and made to keep and store bitcoins so it is the ultimate well-prepared bitcoin wallet, the advantage over paper wallet is that the money is quickly accessible.
That is a big investment so if someone is storing that much doing own research is necessary.

Using a very secure way of course, Considering THIS is 300,000 USD or close to that (I'm not following the price for a day or so, should be around that range lol).
* Paper wallets with a passphrase of at least 14 letters combining all letters, symbols and numbers AND of course easily remembered to you.
* Making 4-5 copies and saving them in different secure and private locations.

The ideal method to store that many would be -IMO- A paper wallet, Although Hardware wallets are useful but they are still under some security threats and are mainly wallets for use not for long term storage of coins, My opinion would be an offline generated address and private key combination, stored (encrypted) in 3-4 different bank vault (which is sometimes free or with $~10 yearly rent).
Safest method IMO.
It makes no sense to store your (encrypted) private keys in a bank vault as that would mean that you're technically not the sole owner of your coins anymore ~ so no, it's not the safest option.Safest method IMO.
At this point there is nothing that beats hardware wallets. Especially if you make use of Ledger wallets, which don't require you to input your seeds through your PC, but directly into your device.
