Bitcoinica
Early Bitcoin trading platform that suffered repeated thefts in 2012 and ceased operations; one of the first high-profile venue failures.
Quick answer
Bitcoinica is tracked in the CTD crypto project cemetery so former users can reconstruct venue history, claim status, and tax-relevant records. Start with CSV exports, account statements, explorer history, and any claim-portal documents before asking software or an accountant to review the case.
1. History reconstruction
Where leftover records may still live.
CSV / statements: User local history only if any.
- Pre-modern exchange CSV standards — expect manual ledgers.
2. Sources
- Bitcoin Wiki — Bitcoinica secondary
CTD summarizes public history and recovery clues for education. It does not determine loss treatment, claim value, or filing treatment.
