I’d like to share my recent experience with Blockchain.com, because it is very similar to other reports I’ve found (for example this blog post: “I almost lost my Bitcoin wallet because of Blockchain.com” ).giuliomagnificoJ-ai-failli-perdre-mon-portefeuille-Bitcoin-a-cause-de-Blockchain.com-_-etcetera.pdf
- I have a legacy Bitcoin address
151qbpcxq7VCtNC7TUmyzF1c9fU5qdVFNAthat I have been using since 2016. - This address is clearly shown on Blockchain.com’s own explorer with a current balance of 0.01951587 BTC, and the payout transaction from 20 May 2026 (
bb141aea5f72a19a7d64db3a5f9be9031d73bc7d2eb05067b28fc8170c591dc8) is fully confirmed on-chain.Peuves.jpg+1 - The same address successfully received payouts from my provider Smart IT in 2021 and April 2024, which appeared correctly in my Blockchain.com wallet and were spendable without any issue.image.jpg+1
In the current mobile app:
- Under the Bitcoin section, the sub‑wallet called “My Bitcoin Wallet 2” shows exactly those 0.0195 BTC and even the outgoing transactions I made in 2024 and 2026 (“Envoyé BTC” history is visible).image-2.jpg
- On the global “Wallet” tab, the CHF value of these BTC is included in my total balance (around 1 000 CHF).LEGACY-2.jpg
However, when I tap Send:
- The send screen only offers two empty accounts as sources: “Trading account” and “My Bitcoin Wallet”, both at 0 BTC.image.jpg
- “My Bitcoin Wallet 2” – the one that actually holds the coins – does not appear at all as a sending source.
- As a result, I have a wallet that is fully recognized (balance and history), but the new UI simply refuses to let me send or withdraw anything from it.
I tried to restore my 12‑word recovery phrase in Electrum with BIP39 and Legacy (p2pkh) derivation:
- Electrum correctly derives a set of addresses, but it does not derive
151qbpcxq7VCtNC7TUmyzF1c9fU5qdVFNA. - This strongly suggests that this address is part of an imported / private key wallet (“My Bitcoin Wallet 2”) that is not covered by the standard BIP39 seed, exactly as described in other reports about Blockchain.com’s legacy/imported wallets.blockchain+1
I contacted Blockchain.com support with:
- the address,
- the txid,
- explorer screenshots,
- app screenshots showing the balance and the broken Send flow.
After a few generic replies, they have now been silent for more than a week, with no technical explanation and no solution.
So, to summarise:
- My BTC are clearly on-chain at a valid legacy address, confirmed by Blockchain.com’s own explorer.
- The mobile app sees the balance and full history in “My Bitcoin Wallet 2”.
- But the new interface does not allow sending from that wallet nor exporting the private key, effectively trapping the funds behind their UI.
- Other users have documented similar issues after Blockchain.com’s login/wallet changes (e.g. the user who had to find a hidden link to the old login page to recover his wallet).J-ai-failli-perdre-mon-portefeuille-Bitcoin-a-cause-de-Blockchain.com-_-etcetera.pdfrewallet
I’m posting this to:
- Warn others who still keep funds on legacy or imported wallets in Blockchain.com.
- Ask if anyone has successfully recovered a similar “hidden” legacy / imported wallet (e.g. by exporting the private key or using an older version of the interface).
- Put public pressure on Blockchain.com to acknowledge and fix this bug, or at least provide a way to export the private key of affected wallets.
Any concrete technical advice or shared experience would be greatly appreciated.
