About cryptoBASIS.
An audit-and-reconciliation tool for cryptocurrency tax positions. Built by someone with skin in the game.
Origin.
cryptoBASIS started as a personal project. The creator — operating an Ethereum validator business through an S-Corp, a self-directed IRA holding crypto, and an individual taxpayer position alongside both — needed to audit his own returns before filing. The tools available either focused on transaction-level math or required CPA engagement to interpret. Neither tied the math to defensible tax positions. So he built one that did.
Methodology.
The audit methodology — the indicators, the rules, the License + Constructive Receipt framework — is the creator's personal IP, licensed to Cryptobasis Technologies LLC for the company's use in crypto-tax services. Practically: the thinking is his; the company's job is to apply it consistently for customers. If the LLC ever winds down or sells, the methodology returns to the creator cleanly.
