1. Rewards from the 'Earn' program are not provided by the Bitrue API. If you have received staking or lending rewards then you will need to import those using CSV files. The CSV file that includes this data is called 'Bonuses'.
2. Futures and dust conversions are not provided by the API. There is also no CSV file for these types so if you have these transactions, they need to be added manually.
How to integrate Bitrue with Koinly using CSV
You'll need to start by downloading a CSV file with your full trading history from Bitrue before you can upload it to Koinly - here's how.
How to download and export your transaction history CSV file from Bitrue
- Log in to your Bitrue account.
- In the top right corner, select assets.
- From the drop-down menu, select overview.
- Select export transaction history.
- Select the date range. Bitrue has a date range limit of 1 year, so you may need to download multiple files to cover your entire transaction history.
- Under account and coin type, select all.
- Select generate. Your files may take up to 24 hours to finish generating, and you will have 7 days to download them! Bitrue will send you an email to confirm that your files are ready.
- Once the file status is successful, select download.
How to upload your Bitrue CSV to Koinly
Now you've got your CSV file, here's how to upload it to Koinly.
- Sign up or log in to your Koinly account and go to the wallets page.

- Upload your CSV files.
Important
1. Bitrue only lets you export data in 3 month periods. You'll need files that cover your entire trading history on Bitrue for Koinly - so this may end up being multiple CSV files for long-term users. If this is the case for you, we recommend using the API integration method instead.
2. Don't forget to tag your airdrops and forks. This will ensure that they show up correctly as income in your Bitrue tax reporting.

Does Bitrue have tax documents?
No, Bitrue does not provide tax documents. It is difficult for any crypto exchange platform or wallet provider to provide a blanket tax report because crypto investors generally aren’t using just one exchange or wallet. However, Bitrue lets you download a CSV file of your transaction history which can be used to generate a Bitrue tax report.
How do I get Bitrue tax forms?
While Bitrue might not provide tax forms and documents, it does offer two easy ways to export transaction and trade history. You can either export your transaction history via API or CSV file import to make reporting your crypto taxes easy.
Do you get a 1099 from Bitrue?
Bitrue doesn’t have mandatory KYC - it’s only if you want to withdraw large amounts daily that you’ll need to complete KYC verification. With this in mind, it’s unlikely that Bitrue is issuing 1099 forms to users or the IRS.
Does Bitrue provide financial or end of year statements?
No, Bitrue does not supply a financial statement. But you can use your Bitrue transaction history CSV file as an alternative to a financial statement, or get a tax report by connecting with a crypto tax app via API.
Do I have to pay taxes on Bitrue?
Yes - if you have capital gains or income as a result of your crypto investment activities on Bitrue, you'll need to report these to your tax office and pay taxes on them.
Does Bitrue have proof of reserves?
Bitrue has not yet released proof of reserves but has issued a statement saying they're actively working on releasing an proof of reserves audit.
