How We Calculate Your Savings

1

Track Your Lots

Each time you buy Bitcoin, it creates a "lot" with a specific cost basis. We track every lot individually to identify harvesting opportunities.

2

Identify Losses

When Bitcoin dips, some of your lots fall below their purchase price. Historically, BTC experiences 10-15 significant dips (8%+) per year.

3

Harvest & Rebuy

We sell the losing lot and immediately repurchase. You keep your Bitcoin position but lock in a tax-deductible loss. No wash sale rules for crypto.

Our Assumptions

These estimates are based on historical Bitcoin volatility patterns. Your actual results may vary.

Historical Volatility

  • • Bitcoin averages 10-15 dips of 8%+ per year
  • • Average recoverable loss per qualifying lot: ~10%
  • • Approximately 60% of lots qualify for harvesting annually

Tax Assumptions

  • • Short-term capital gains taxed as ordinary income
  • • Losses offset gains dollar-for-dollar
  • • Up to $3,000 in excess losses deductible against income
