Crypto Tax and Accounting Platform Bitwave Raises $7.25M
Blockchain Capital led the firm's seed round as VC bets on crypto tax plays pick up steam.

Bitwave, a crypto tax and accounting software provider, has raised $7.25 million in a seed funding round led by Blockchain Capital. Nascent, Nima Capital and Arca also joined in.
The San Francisco-based company, which was founded in 2018, provides services such as tax tracking, bookkeeping and cryptocurrency accounting. According to Pat White, Bitwave’s CEO and co-founder, the platform is currently used by over 30 companies, including mining firms Greenidge Generation, Core Scientific’s Blockcap and Elite Mining.
As crypto goes mainstream, more companies – including firms like AMC Theatres that aren’t crypto companies – are putting their fingers in the blockchain pie. The $2 trillion cryptocurrency market is growing, and with it, regulatory scrutiny and shifting tax reporting guidelines.
There is a growing need for streamlined digital asset management for businesses, which is where companies like Bitwave and one of its larger competitors, TaxBit, come into play.

Bitwave’s White told CoinDesk the funding round will be used to add staff to the firm’s 10-person team, as well as expand its advertising and outreach operations.
“The next two to three years is all about the Fortune 500 companies,” White told CoinDesk. “We’re going from the crypto-native companies, power generators and people on the front edge of the curve to publicly-traded customers.” He continued, adding:
“That’s the world we see – a world where CFOs at Fortune 500 companies are getting serious about crypto. To us, that’s really exciting, so we’re positioning ourselves to support that.”

Specialized AI detects 92% of real-world DeFi exploits

New research claims specialized AI dramatically outperforms general-purpose models at detecting exploited DeFi vulnerabilities.
What to know:
- A purpose-built AI security agent detected vulnerabilities in 92% of 90 exploited DeFi contracts ($96.8 million in exploit value), compared with 34% and $7.5 million for a baseline GPT-5.1-based coding agent running on the same underlying model.
- The gap came from domain-specific security methodology layered on top of the model, not differences in core AI capability, according to the report.
- The findings come as prior research from Anthropic and OpenAI shows AI agents can execute end-to-end smart contract exploits at low cost, accelerating concerns that offensive AI capabilities are scaling faster than defensive adoption.
