Use these for Bitcoin you can’t connect, and for Bitcoin ETF shares. You keep them up to date yourself.
  1. Select Add Account → Manual Entry.
  2. Pick Bitcoin Holdings or Bitcoin ETF Holdings.
Manual Entry type choice: Bitcoin or ETF

Pick a holding type.

Manual and ETF holdings count in your totals. They can’t go on a statement, because there is nothing to verify.

Manual Bitcoin

For cold storage, paper wallets, or Bitcoin held elsewhere.
  1. Enter a Display Name and Balance (BTC).
  2. Set the As of Date. It defaults to today.
  3. Select Add Holding.

Manual holding page with Update Balance and Add Transaction sections

Update the balance, or log a transaction.

  • Update Balance: enter the new total and its date. Select Update.
  • Add Transaction: log a Buy, Sell, Transfer In, or Transfer Out. Check Add this amount to balance to change the balance too.
Things to know:
  • A Sell or Transfer Out can’t take the balance below zero. Update the balance first if needed.
  • Deleting a transaction always reverses it in the balance, even if you didn’t check Add this amount to balance.
  • Deleting a transaction has no confirmation.

Bitcoin ETFs

  1. Enter a Display Name, such as your brokerage.
  2. For each fund, pick the ETF and enter Shares. Date Purchased is optional.
  3. Select + Add Another ETF for more funds.
  4. Select Add ETF Holdings.
Bitcoin ETF holdings form

ETF holdings with an estimated BTC total.

Supported funds: IBIT, FBTC, GBTC, ARKB, BITB, HODL, BTC (Grayscale Mini Trust), and MSBT.

How the BTC amount is worked out

Shares × Bitcoin per share. Bitcoin per share is a fixed reference figure for each fund. It goes down a little each day to reflect the fund’s fees.
This is an estimate. It is not live fund data. Your broker’s figure may differ slightly.

Change your holdings

Open the ETF account. Under Holdings, select Add Holding or Remove. To change a share count, remove the row and add it again.

Manual and ETF accounts can’t be renamed yet. To rename one, remove it and add it again.
