Trezor Cuts the Number of Shops Allowed to Sell Its Hardware Wallets

Based on Trezor’s own post on X and a letter to partners posted by its Chief Commercial Officer.

Trezor, which makes hardware wallets for storing cryptocurrency, is cutting the number of resellers authorised to sell its devices. It says the aim is to check closely every partner that remains [1][2].

“Following recent supply-chain incidents, we decided to reduce the number of resellers so we can more effectively check those we work with,” Trezor posted on 13 October 2026 [1].

Trezor has not said how many resellers are affected or which countries they are in.

“Not a single piece of evidence”

“Let us be very clear: there is not a single piece of evidence that Trezor devices have been compromised,” Trezor said. “This is a preventive step, taken out of an abundance of caution” [1].

This is Trezor’s own statement. TSN has not been able to check it independently.

What the letter says

Danny Sanders, Trezor’s Chief Commercial Officer, posted a letter to resellers on X (@Dantoshi) [2]. It says:

• Why: “The recent supply-chain attack on another hardware wallet brand confirmed what we have always known. A hardware wallet is only as safe as the path it travels to reach its owner.” The letter does not name the other brand.
• When: “If you are receiving this letter, your authorization ends on 1 January 2027. On that date we will remove you from our list of authorized Trezor resellers.”
• Stock: “We will not ship new stock to you after today,” but affected resellers can keep selling what they have until 1 January, through Black Friday and the holiday season.
• How it chose: “We looked at every country on its own, weighing revenue and distribution against Trezor’s own presence and reach there.”
• Not a verdict: “This is not a verdict on your business or on the safety of the devices you sell. It is about how many partners we can check closely ourselves.”
• Remaining partners: they face “an updated legal framework and closer checks on how devices are sourced, stored and handled.”

The letter adds: “If things change in the future, we will review it” [2].

What this means

• Fewer places to buy a Trezor. Some shops lose their authorised status on 1 January 2027. Trezor hasn’t said which.
• Tighter checks for the rest. Shops that stay on the list face new legal terms and closer checks on how devices are handled.
• No known problem with Trezor devices. Trezor says this is a precaution and that it has no evidence its devices were compromised.
