ABOUT BASED TRADING CARDS
REMEMBER THE FEELING
The crinkle of a fresh pack. The card you chased every single year. That feeling didn't die we just brought it into a new era. Today, we are capturing the culture and time-stamping the history of Bitcoin. By partnering with the biggest names in the industry, we are turning the fight for financial freedom into art you can hold.
Passing the torch. The next generation of collectors.

THE FEELING
THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT CARDBOARD
Sports cards with your dad in the '80s. Magic with your best friends in the '90s. A weekend card show today, chasing the same butterfly feeling at forty that you had at nine.
For over a century, this hobby has done one thing better than anything else on earth: it hands memory from one generation to the next, ten cards at a time.
THE PROBLEM
THE AGE OF INFINITE SUPPLY
Every run is capped, counted, and closed forever. Once the last card is printed, that's it - no reprints, no restocks, no quietly padding the supply when demand spikes. Scarcity isn't a marketing gimmick here; it's the whole point. What you hold is finite by design, and the checklist proves it.
THE ANSWER
WE PRINT LESS. ON PURPOSE.

“SCARCITY IS A VITAL ASPECT OF LIFE, AND ART IS THE MOST POWERFUL THOUGHT PROVOKER ON THE PLANET.”

THE COLLECTIVE
Art First. Always.
BTCTC is a high-end art collective of world-class artists, museum-grade craftsmanship, and a community of collectors who'd rather hold history than scroll past it. Everything we make stands on three commitments:
Peace
The hobby at its best generous, patient, and shared across generations. Everyone rips their first pack somewhere.
Freedom
Bitcoin's story the pioneers, the ideas, the fight told through art you can hold in your hands.
Tangible Truth
Finite runs. Published checklists. Numbered cards. If we printed it, it's on the record forever.
V
The Backers
Backed by the best. Built for the bold.
We don't just feature legends we stand with them. BTCTC is supported by the pioneers, thinkers, and rebels shaping the future of freedom. A movement you can now hold in your hands.

Let customers speak for us
The thought and detail that goes into Based trading cards is unlike anything I have experienced in all my years in collecting. I am very excited about the future of this brand and what they do next.
This is one amazing product. Not only is it top notch quality, but you are guaranteed something amazing. From the printing plate, serialized poster, serialized box (24 packs), the key pack (with a chance to win a car) you are bound to pull something amazing. There are still a huge number of 21s and 1/1 left in these experience boxes.
They thought if everything you would need, down to white gloves to handle the cards with and high quality scissors to open the packs with. If you haven’t ripped an experience box, what are you waiting for?! You next favorite card is waiting in one of these boxes. Great job Alladan and Team!
Just got my hands on an experience box! And now I understand why its called that. This has been one incredible experience ripping the packs and going through all the extra collectibles inside. Best trading cards ever! Hands down..
These cards are on a level I have never seen before. The quality and amount of hits you get in one pack beats most hobby boxes I have ever opened. I am a collector for life!
I just got a new hobby box of series 4 "the simulation" and all i can say is wow!! These cards are absolutely next level. The quality, variety, and scarcity makes opening these packs up so much fun. After experiencing this, im definitely making my next move to get an experience box for sure!
![Genesis Box (100 Packs) + Exclusive Box Topper [EDUCATIONAL - NO CHASE CARDS]](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0683/1757/7494/files/Untitleddesigncopy2_d38d8ddf-4e1e-4dd5-842e-8bbdc95ace43_70x70.png?v=1784270121)
These Genesis packs are great. I give them away to anyone that purchases something from me or anyone that I make a trade with. I even give them out on Halloween. I recently ordered another box as my inventory was running low. The company hooked it up with additional packs and a few extra goodies as well. I haven’t opened my Boxtopper yet but plan to do so soon. Fingers crossed, we pull a 1/1. Get your box today!
These cards have helped get friends and family intrigued and educated on Bitcoin. These are an amazing way to break the ice and discuss Bitcoin. They have helped me educate and open eyes in awe telling stories with art and knowledge. Greatest thing out of the bear market! BTCTC!
As someone who got caught up in S3 and aped in hardcore, I have fallen in love with this movement. The educational aspect is great for kids, who also love the art. The design and beauty of these cards is breathtaking. I can’t wait for S4!
Genesis Packs are one of the best ways to onboard new people to Bitcoin. These educational starter packs are a great way to share the beautiful artwork BTCTC has created with a powerful message to guide people to the best monetary network in history.
I joined the community in February 2025 after discovering Bitcoin art wrapped into one of the highest quality trading card collectibles out there. The transparency in the print runs is unmatched and every series delivers a real chase in every pack. The experience feels premium, intentional, and crafted for collectors who appreciate rarity and culture.
If you want a trading card chase of the highest caliber and a community driven by culture and the Spirit of Satoshi, you are in the right place.
These big cases have a 94? 96%? chances of hitting a 21 club (/21!). The odds are like nothing seen anywhere else in the hobby... and the value of the cards inside easily suprass that of the case without a question. Card quality is amazing and the chase with parallels is wild - hands down the best chase out there. Plus, these can be graded with TAG or PSA!
Go Big or Go Home! When you buy a Case of Series 3 Warriors vs Villains you know what the Odds are of Hitting a Big Chase Card! This is the only company in the trading card hobby that is transparent with showing the odds and the hit list of their packs, boxes and cases. I was lucky enough to hit a 1/1 card in Series 3 and it's absolutely stunning! These cards are next level and keep me coming back for more.
The Spirit of Satoshi collaborative set captures the Matrix theme and brings it to life in a physical trading card set! As a big fan of the Matrix, this set immediately captured my attention. It combines the Matrix theme with Bitcoin lore, Bitcoin influencers, and artists. It's a cool concept that is made better by it's limited print run which keeps it scarce which is important to me as a collector.
As my first box from BTCTC, I eased in with a Spirit of Satoshi box and thought these are really high quality cards! They have three rarities (base, holofoil, and chase) and each one is beautiful.
After my first box purchased back in March or so, I have comeback 3 more times for additionally boxes, including earlier today when I had to have one more! Keep making amazing cards for your collectors!
As someone who ordered a Crab bundle, and numerous cases, this series was perfection in a pack. All cards and parallels are exquisite to behold and even the base cards are beautiful. Great job by the team and Based Trading Cards for creating a collector out of someone who just learned about these cards earlier this year. S3 was perfection, so I don’t have works for what I expect form Series 4
