Unrealized vs realized

This tool marks your stack to spot. Gains become taxable events when you dispose of crypto under common US rules—confirm with a professional.

Cost basis hygiene

Enter total USD spent (or basis) for the BTC amount shown. Mixed lots, gifts, and transfers need software like Koinly or CoinTracking—see our tax desk.

Sources & methodology

Factual claims cite primary documentation. Interpretation and calculator assumptions are labeled separately so you can verify the source yourself.

  • Source: IRS — Digital assetsThe IRS treats digital assets as property for federal tax purposes; selling, exchanging, or otherwise disposing of crypto can be a taxable event.
