▣About Tangem

Tangem is a Swiss blockchain hardware company founded in 2017 that builds NFC smartcard cold wallets and mobile software designed to make self‑custody simple and seedless for mainstream users worldwide (headquartered in Switzerland). The company is best known for its Tangem Wallet — a slim, bank‑card–like device used for Bitcoin and other crypto custody and integrated with a growing ecosystem of partners and third‑party services; Tangem reports global distribution across 170+ countries and enterprise partnerships to scale mass adoption. Tangem was co‑founded by Andrey (Andrey) Kurennykh and Andrew (Andrew) Pantyukhin, with Kurennykh serving as CEO; the firm’s public leadership team also includes senior product and legal executives such as Andrey Lazutkin and Patrick Storchenegger among others. Tangem has attracted strategic investment to accelerate adoption (notably a $15M investment from SBI’s crypto arm in 2019) and positions itself as a non‑custodial hardware provider rather than a financial intermediary.
