HongbaoBTC – Personalized Bitcoin Banknotes for Gifting Crypto with Style

Turn Bitcoin into a personal, meaningful gift.

HongbaoBTC lets you create beautiful, customized Bitcoin paper wallets that look and feel like traditional banknotes — but with your own face or a loved one’s portrait replacing the usual figure. It’s a playful and heartfelt way to gift Bitcoin in real life.

Inspired by the tradition of hongbao (red envelopes used to gift money during Lunar New Year and other celebrations), our app bridges old and new: combining the cultural charm of physical gifting with the modern power of cryptocurrency.

What you can do with HongbaoBTC:

Upload a photo and generate a unique Bitcoin banknote with your chosen portrait
Select from multiple banknote-style themes (Ghibli, Simpsons, Anime, Marvel and more)
Get a printable PDF with:
- A scannable QR code linked to a Bitcoin wallet
- A designated space for the public address and private key
- A consistent layout perfect for folding and placing in a hongbao or gift envelope

Why it’s cool:

Make your Bitcoin gift feel personal, creative, and physical
Great for birthdays, holidays, Lunar New Year, weddings, or onboarding someone to Bitcoin
No need to be tech-savvy — it’s as easy as uploading a photo and printing

We're a small team passionate about crypto, design, and culture. HongbaoBTC is our experiment in making digital value more emotional and real-world friendly. We’d love your feedback as we grow and evolve the project!
