Why Bitwave Excels at Ethereum and Bitcoin Accounting

Ethereum and Bitcoin represent two fundamentally different design philosophies — and Bitwave supports both with precision:

Ethereum Accounting

  • ERC-20 & L2 Compatibility: Bitwave normalizes token activity across L1 and Layer 2 rollups like Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and more.

  • Smart Contract Parsing: Automated classification of staking, DeFi protocol interactions, and NFT activity.

  • Gas Fee Allocation: Accurately tracks and allocates gas fees to associated transactions and cost centers.

  • Token Treasury Management: Full support for tracking treasuries in volatile or illiquid ERC-20 tokens.

Bitcoin and Crypto Accounting

  • Cost Basis Calculations: Multiple FIFO/LIFO/Specific ID methods for accurate gain/loss tracking.
  • Bitwave ensures GAAP/IFRS-compliant subledger entries no matter how technical the blockchain layer gets.

The Bitwave Payment Network

As enterprise crypto usage matures, companies are increasingly turning to stablecoins, ETH, and BTC for real-world B2B payments. Enter the Bitwave Payment Network — your bridge to the future of money movement.

What is the Bitwave Payment Network?

A secure, enterprise-grade crypto payment infrastructure that allows:

  • Payers to create and manage vendor payments in ETH, BTC, or stablecoins.
  • Vendors to receive accurate, invoice-backed payments.
    Finance teams to automate GL entries, generate audit trails, and reconcile transactions instantly.

Example: An enterprise using Bitwave can generate a payable invoice in USDC on Ethereum, send it to a vendor, and execute a gas-optimized payment — all while maintaining compliant ledger entries in real time.

Enterprise-Scale Adoption

  • Used by crypto giants like Coinbase, who rely on Bitwave to move millions in vendor payments.
  • Built for interoperability, connecting with stablecoins, custodians, exchanges, and on/off-ramp providers.

Final Thoughts: Leading the Charge into Onchain Finance

As the crypto economy matures, finance leaders need systems they can trust. Bitwave has spent years building a battle-tested, enterprise-grade subledger for exactly this purpose. For companies dealing with Ethereum, Bitcoin, stablecoins, or any other digital asset, Bitwave is the gold standard.

Whether you’re attending EthCC or scaling your onchain business from startup to enterprise, Bitwave is your partner in compliance, clarity, and control.
