Satori Coins, a line of physical Bitcoin collectibles originally issued in 2016, returned on September 25th, 2025 with a new premium model.
Satori will come back after the break
Satori Coins first appeared as a low-cost “poker chip” style token preloaded with a small fraction of Bitcoin. After the Casashius Coins created by Mike Caldwell from 2011 to 2013, concrete Bitcoins have become unusual. In 2016, Satori Coins entered the scene, but quickly paused. Almost ten years later, the project will be back and will be launched again this year.
On August 27, 2025, the project’s X account wrote: “We are pleased to announce the launch of the Satori Coin Gi on September 25th. We can safely and securely order our latest model, the Satori Coin Gi.
The flagship Satori Coin Gi emphasizes Japanese craftsmanship. The aluminum piece uses a screw top design to access the private key and incorporates three holograms containing one edge. The body pattern was created by Ise Katagami Craftsman Hajime Ito. Security employs a 2-of-2 multi-signature scheme.
Prior to general sales, GI low serial numbers #0001–#0010 are occup eastern from September 9, 2025 to September 9, 2025 to September 11, 2025 at 3pm. Each coin placed at auction is preloaded with 0.01 bitcoin, with revenue going to five nonprofit organizations. Serial #0001 is a standalone sale.
The maximum mintage of GI is 3,000. The companion model, Satori Coin Chi, is planned as a low-cost option similar to the 2016 chips. General sales prices are not disclosed. CHI is expected to reflect its original goal of targeting entry-level gifting and education, and to introduce practical Bitcoin that is accessible worldwide.
Teams frame new issues as collectibles and gifts, bringing them independent. The revival of Satori Coins reflects a growing interest in merging physical Bitcoin artistry, tradition, security and utilities. Whether pursued as collectibles or educational tools, these designs highlight a lasting desire to connect digital values with concrete, monetary BTC representations.
