Bitcoin treasury for general contractors
Progress payments arrive in bursts and disappear into subs, materials, and payroll. BitReserve buys Bitcoin on a rule you choose — a fixed monthly amount or a percentage of QuickBooks net income — and posts every buy to QuickBooks, already balanced.
You choose the rule · You can pause anytime · Your books stay current
Three simple steps
Connect your company and choose the QuickBooks accounts BitReserve should use. Setup takes about two minutes.
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.
When a buy settles, BitReserve posts a balanced journal entry to the accounts you chose.
Built for your books
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.

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.

River, Bitcoin Adoption 2026A net-income rule follows your actual results: a profitable stretch of pay apps sets aside more, a slow January sets aside less, and none of it changes your bid math. Model a hypothetical revenue share in the calculator below, then pick the rule type that fits how your books really run.
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.
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.
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.
Setup takes about two minutes. Pause anytime.
Put it to work
When an owner drags a retainage check, cash savings carry payroll first. A Bitcoin reserve you can sell down in days is one more option behind them — though its value can be down exactly when you reach for it, so it complements a cash buffer rather than replacing one.
Seed the truck fund from strong months instead of financing the whole replacement at dealer rates the week the old one dies mid-project — knowing the fund’s value will swing along the way.
Every settled buy leaves a traceable asset and cost-basis history in QuickBooks, giving your accountant and bond agent clean records to evaluate on their own terms.
Pick the one that matches the swing. A percentage of QuickBooks net income contributes more after big draw months and less in a slow stretch, while a fixed amount stays constant — and you can change or pause either from the dashboard between projects.
No. Each buy posts as a balanced journal entry to the treasury accounts you pick during setup — it never touches your job-level income, cost codes, or WIP schedule.
You can sell back to dollars whenever you choose, and the sale is recorded the same way the buys are — in BitReserve and in your ledger. Just remember the price may be below what you paid; the reserve is a long-horizon holding, not a payroll account.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Anytime, from the dashboard. No lockups.
Connect QuickBooks, set your rule, and let it run. Setup takes about two minutes.
