Bitcoin treasury for architecture & engineering

You design for decades. Hold a reserve that thinks the same way.

A&E fees arrive by phase — SD, DD, CD, CA — while salaries arrive every two weeks. BitReserve turns your rule, fixed dollars or a share of QuickBooks net income, into Bitcoin each month, with every buy posted to QuickBooks automatically.

Model my reserve

You choose the rule · You can pause anytime · Your books stay current

Three simple steps

How it works

1

Connect QuickBooks

Connect your company and choose the QuickBooks accounts BitReserve should use. Setup takes about two minutes.

2

Pick your rule

Choose a fixed monthly dollar amount, or a percentage of the net income QuickBooks reports. You stay in control and can change or pause it.

3

Your books stay current

When a buy settles, BitReserve posts a balanced journal entry to the accounts you chose.

Built for your books

The accounting is already done

BitReserve posts every settled buy to QuickBooks as a balanced journal entry, so the accounting does not become a separate monthly task.

  • Posted when the buy settles.

    No exchange CSV to import and no transaction to key in by hand.

  • Mapped to your chart of accounts.

    The entry uses the accounts you approve during setup and lands balanced and dated.

  • Ready for review.

    Your general ledger keeps a clear transaction and cost-basis history for your bookkeeper or CPA.

Illustrative example sized from this page’s calculator scenario, not from your rule. Accounts and amounts follow the mapping you choose during setup.

Illustration only: this calculator models a hypothetical share of monthly revenue. The production BitReserve rule does not track gross revenue; at launch, you choose either a fixed monthly dollar amount or a percentage of the net income QuickBooks reports.

What could your reserve become?

Why it fits an A&E practice

Your backlog is tied to construction cycles you can see coming but not stop. Building a long-horizon reserve during design booms is the counter-cyclical move a phase-based fee structure quietly makes easy — as long as the operating buffer comes first.

Small businesses feel inflation first.

For businesses with thin margins or limited pricing power, rising costs can land quickly. A cash reserve can lose purchasing power to inflation while it protects you — which is why some owners route a slice of true surplus into something else, accepting volatility in exchange.

Small businesses can move fast.

No board, no committee, no quarterly treasury review. River's research found concentrated ownership is exactly why small firms adopt Bitcoin ahead of big ones — one decision-maker, one decision.

Discipline beats timing.

Manual buying can be easy to postpone after a dip or during a busy month. A modest automated rule can make the schedule consistent without watching the price or allocating money the business needs next quarter.

What A&E firms build the reserve for

Add depth for a construction-cycle downturn.

When developers pause, design fees pause with them. A reserve built in the boom is one more resource for keeping licensed staff — worth whatever the market says in the trough, which is exactly why it sits behind cash savings, not in front of them.

Fund the studio move without a build-out loan.

A bigger studio, the furniture, the fit-out — a reserve given years to build can turn the expansion from a borrowing event into a scheduled one, if the market cooperates.

Absorb the software-and-insurance ratchet.

BIM seats, licenses, and professional liability premiums keep pressuring overhead. A separately funded treasury line gives the firm another option when those costs reset higher.

Frequently asked

Our fees pay out by project phase. Which months does the rule run?+

Every month, on the rule you choose — a fixed amount ignores phase timing entirely, and a net-income percentage follows what QuickBooks says the month actually earned. Pause anytime an invoice slips a quarter.

Who at the firm sees and controls this?+

Whoever you give access — typically a principal and the office manager. Control stays with you: the rule, the accounts, and the pause button are all yours.

Is the Bitcoin actually mine?+

Yes. Purchases run through our payment partner Strike and the Bitcoin is held in your name. Every transaction is tracked and recorded — in BitReserve and in your QuickBooks ledger.

How is the monthly buy amount actually calculated?+

At launch you choose between two rule types: a fixed dollar amount, or a percentage of the net income QuickBooks reports for the period. The calculator on this page models a hypothetical share of monthly revenue so you can explore scenarios — it is an illustration, not how the production rule is computed.

What shows up in my QuickBooks?+

One balanced journal entry per buy: a debit to the Bitcoin asset account you chose, the fee, and the matching credit to cash. You pick the accounts during setup, so everything lands where your bookkeeping expects it.

What if Bitcoin's price drops?+

Your rule keeps running unless you pause it, and the same dollars buy more Bitcoin at lower prices — but a drop is a real loss on what you already hold, and there is no guarantee of recovery on any timeline. That is why the rule should only route in money the business can leave alone for years.

Can I change my amount or pause?+

Anytime, from the dashboard. No lockups.
