Ledger crypto accounting

Connect Ledger to CryptaCount with your public addresses or a Ledger Live CSV and turn cold-wallet activity into clean books. CryptaCount reads your history, calculates cost basis, and posts journal entries to your ERP — with the detail held in the sub-ledger.

Your hardware wallet as a source for the sub-ledger

Treasury held on a Ledger is invisible to your accounting system until someone reconciles it by hand. CryptaCount reads that activity into a crypto sub-ledger, applies cost basis and your measurement policy, and produces summarized journal entries for your general ledger.

How to connect

Ledger is a hardware wallet, so there's no API key — you connect by public address or CSV (a read-only, watch-only view):

1. Public addresses. For each chain your Ledger holds (Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others), copy the public address (or extended public key, where used) from Ledger Live. In CryptaCount, go to Integrations → Add wallet → Ledger and paste it.
2. Ledger Live CSV. In Ledger Live, export your operation history as a CSV and upload it — one file covering all accounts.

Never enter your 24-word recovery phrase. CryptaCount only needs your public addresses or a CSV — both watch-only and read-only. Your recovery phrase stays on your device.

What flows into your books

On-chain activity across the chains and accounts Ledger manages: buys and sells, transfers, swaps, staking and rewards, and fees — each classified for accounting, with transfers between your own wallets matched.
