The 3 Most Common Causes of “Balance Mismatch”
Blockpit reads the synced balance straight from the chain and holds it against the sum of the imported transactions.
Missing bridge side
A bridge has two sides, often under different token names. If one is missing, Blockpit sees the holding but not its inflow.
API import without history
Exchange APIs deliver only from the connection date. Trades from earlier years are missing, and with them the inflow that explains the holding.
Booked manually instead of merged
If a transaction is added manually instead of merging both sides into one transfer, it sits twice in the data.
What the difference does to the tax report
When the calculated balance deviates, a bridge side or an API import without history is almost always missing. The holding can be balanced out, the origin of the coins cannot.
“+ Balancing” in the tax report
If a negative holding is left standing, the report balances it with a “+ Balancing” entry and sets the cost basis to zero.
Auto-correction in the transaction list
The auto-correction label balances missing history with a cost basis of zero as well. The hint in the tool still stays.
A negative holding under another name
If the calculated balance shows more outflows than inflows, it is negative. The same root problem as missing history, only named differently.
Visually clean, arithmetically wrong
The holding adds up again, the calculation does not. The fictitious gains often surface only at the DAC8 reconciliation.
Cause first, then the balance.
Tipping point found
Ledger Mode shows the balance history per asset. The transaction before the point where it turns negative is usually the cause.
Counterpart added
Both sides get imported and linked as a transfer. Missing sources come from CSV exports and from the block explorer.
Recalculated
Only then does TX-Partner trigger the recalculation. Blockpit updates nothing by itself, otherwise the report keeps the old state.
