Question 1

How do I check a Bitcoin wallet balance?

Accepted Answer

Paste any Bitcoin (BTC) address into the box above and click "Check Balance". You will instantly see the confirmed balance in BTC along with its current value in USD or KRW. No account is required.

Question 2

Is the Bitcoin Wallet Checker free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The checker is completely free and requires no login or signup. We do not store the addresses you look up.

Question 3

Which Bitcoin address formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

All common mainnet formats are supported: legacy addresses starting with "1", P2SH addresses starting with "3", and native SegWit (bech32) addresses starting with "bc1".

Question 4

Where does the balance data come from?

Accepted Answer

Balances are read directly from the public Blockstream Bitcoin explorer, and prices come from CoinGecko. Results are cached briefly for performance, so a very recent transaction may take up to a minute to appear.

Question 5

Can I scan a QR code instead of typing the address?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On a device with a camera, tap "Scan QR" to scan a wallet QR code. The camera runs entirely in your browser, the image is never uploaded, and the camera turns off as soon as the code is read.

Question 6

Why does the "Locked" amount always show 0 for Bitcoin?

Accepted Answer

Unlike staking chains, Bitcoin has no native lockup mechanism, so the entire confirmed balance is spendable. The locked field is therefore always 0 for Bitcoin addresses.
