What Is the Bitcoin DCA Tracker?

If you dollar-cost average into Bitcoin, you need a way to track every purchase, understand your average cost basis, and — when you eventually sell — calculate your capital gains taxes. That's exactly what this app does.

No spreadsheets. No manual tax math. No subscription fees.

Getting Started: 5-Minute Setup

Step 1 — Set Your Cash Deposited Amount

Go to Settings and enter the total USD you've deposited into your exchange. This establishes your cash baseline so the app can track your available balance.

Step 2 — Add Your Purchases

Click Add Entry, select Buy, and log each Bitcoin purchase with:

  • Date and time of purchase
  • Amount in BTC (or USD — the app converts both ways)
  • BTC price at purchase (one-click to use current price)
  • Optional notes (e.g., "Weekly DCA buy")

Step 3 — Record Sales (When You Sell)

Switch to Sell mode. The app automatically:

  • Selects tax lots using FIFO (First-In-First-Out) for optimal cost basis
  • Calculates your gain or loss
  • Estimates tax based on holding period (short-term vs long-term)
  • Shows tax impact before you confirm

Step 4 — Monitor Your Dashboard

The Dashboard gives you a real-time snapshot:

  • Current BTC price with 24h change
  • Total BTC held and USD value
  • Average buy price vs current price
  • Realized P&L and estimated tax liability
  • Portfolio value vs invested chart

Step 5 — Generate Tax Reports

When tax season arrives, go to Settings → Reports:

  • Download Form 8949 (sales and dispositions)
  • Download Schedule D (capital gains summary)
  • Download Schedule 1 (additional income)
  • Export Capital Gains CSV with every transaction detail

All forms are pre-filled and IRS-formatted. Hand them to your CPA or attach them to your filing.


Why We Built This

Most Bitcoin DCA investors track everything in spreadsheets. That works — until you sell. Then you're manually calculating cost basis across dozens of buys, figuring out holding periods, and guessing at tax liability.

We built the DCA Tracker to make this automatic, accurate, and affordable. One payment. No subscription. Your data stays private and encrypted.


Pricing

$4.99 — one-time payment. No recurring charges, no hidden fees, no subscription fatigue.

  • Mobile-responsive improvements
  • More exchange CSV import formats
