“Great journeys begin with the first step.”
That is exactly what the Shrimp Edition stands for.
In Bitcoin terminology, the term “Shrimp” refers to people who hold comparatively small Bitcoin positions. Often, these are Bitcoin enthusiasts who are still at the beginning of their journey.
The term may sound small, but within the Bitcoin community it stands for something entirely different: conviction. It represents taking the first step with the resources available. And above all, it represents being part of the movement.
Crafted from 21 grams of .999 fine silver, the Shrimp Edition perfectly expresses this philosophy. The inscription 21,000,000 micrograms deliberately appears on the minting — equivalent to 21 grams, the weight of the medal itself. Naturally, this is a tribute to the maximum supply of 21 million Bitcoin.
Yet this edition — like all products of the Core Series — is far more than just a symbolic concept. Artists, specialists in advanced minting technology, experts in selective finishing, and crypto specialists all contributed to the creation of this project. The goal was to create an edition that combines technological vision, artisanal precision, and modern collectible culture.
The extraordinarily detailed minting in premium Proof-Like quality often reveals its true character only upon closer inspection. Even the smallest elements such as hashes, binary codes, and cryptographic details visible in the enlarged product images have actually been physically embedded into the surface. Many of these fine details remain nearly invisible to the naked eye — and that is precisely what gives this edition its unique fascination.
The design is further enhanced by a selective rose gold plating that gives the iconic motif a stylish yet modern frame.
The combination of silver and rose gold merges premium precious metal aesthetics with the visual language of the digital age.
For every sold product of the Shrimp Edition, 1,000 Satoshi are sent to the famous Genesis Wallet — the historic wallet closely connected to the origins of Bitcoin. This value is also reflected on the minting itself. The transaction is intended as a symbolic gesture and a tribute to the idea that gave birth to Bitcoin. The buyer does not receive access to these Satoshi. Their value lies not in ownership, but in their meaning. It is a collective transaction that can be verified through the included transaction hash.
Each piece also bears the CCM hallmark of an officially authorized assay and hallmarking office, certifying its verified silver content. Together with the transparently traceable blockchain transaction, the hallmark further emphasizes the authenticity and distinctive character of each individual piece.
The presentation itself also reflects the premium standard of this edition. Depending on the version, the Shrimp Edition is delivered either in a particularly high-quality and secure ApoPAXX® packaging or in an elegant acrylic capsule presented within a premium wooden case. Both variants optimally protect the medal while simultaneously transforming it into a stylish display piece.
The Shrimp Edition is intended for individuals who do not need to be loud in order to know what they stand for. For collectors, enthusiasts, and visionaries who have arrived in the digital age and recognized the value of scarcity, patience, and conviction.
