# Withdraw BTC From the Stacks Legacy Wallet

Withdraw BTC left in the Stacks legacy wallet with Electrum, with or without a hardware wallet.

The Stacks legacy wallet stored BTC on a path that Leather does not use. To reach that BTC, open the legacy wallet in Electrum, a third-party Bitcoin wallet, and send the BTC to Leather.

Electrum is not made by Leather. Leather cannot vouch for its security. Download it only from [electrum.org](https://electrum.org/).

## Withdraw with your seed phrase

1. Install Electrum and open it.
2. Keep the wallet name "default\_wallet" and click "Next".
3. Select "Standard wallet" and click "Next".
4. Select "I already have a seed".
5. Enter the seed phrase of your Stacks legacy wallet.
6. Click "Options" and check "BIP39 seed".
7. Select "legacy (p2pkh)" first. Then replace the derivation path with `m/44'/5757'/0'`. If you change the path before you select "legacy (p2pkh)", Electrum resets it, and your BTC will not show.
8. Check "Encrypt wallet file" and click "Next".
9. On the "Send" tab, enter your Leather Native SegWit address as the recipient and send the BTC.

## Withdraw with a hardware wallet

1. Install Electrum.
2. Connect the hardware wallet over USB and unlock it with its PIN. On Linux, Ledger and Trezor devices may need [udev rules](https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/tree/master/contrib/udev#udev-rules) first.
3. Open Electrum, keep the wallet name "default\_wallet" and click "Next".
4. Select "Standard wallet" and click "Next".
5. Select "Use a hardware device" and click "Next".
6. Select your device.
7. Select "legacy (p2pkh)" first. Then replace the derivation path with `m/44'/5757'/0'`.
8. Check "Encrypt wallet file" and click "Next".
9. On the "Send" tab, enter your Leather Native SegWit address as the recipient and send the BTC.

To find your Native SegWit address, click "Receive" in Leather. See [Receive Bitcoin (BTC)](/transactions/receive-btc.md).
