# Cryptocurrencies

> Track your cryptocurrency holdings.

This page shows how to record your cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin or Ethereum) so they appear in your investment portfolio, with cost basis, market value, and returns calculated automatically.

You track them the same way you track stocks, ETFs, and certificates: record your buys and sells, and guito does the rest.

<Info>
  Cryptocurrencies are available to everyone, at no cost.

## Add a cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrencies use the same search and add flow as your other investment holdings, with no separate screens.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Investments">
    Open **Investments** in the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Add">
    Use the **Add** button to start recording a new holding.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Search for the coin">
    Search for the coin (for example, Bitcoin or Ethereum) in the same search box where you look up stocks and certificates, then select it from the results.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the pair you traded">
    When available, choose the pair you actually traded, for example BTC/USD or BTC/EUR.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Record the transaction">
    Indicate whether it was a buy or a sell and fill in the date, quantity, and unit price.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Confirm to save. The holding now appears in your investment portfolio.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Instead of recording trades one by one, you can import an exchange's history by CSV, using the same investments importer, as long as the coin is one that guito tracks. See [Import and export data](/en/features/import-export).
</Note>

## Currency pairs and exchange rates

Every coin always has a pair quoted in US dollars (USD) and, when one exists in the quote feed, a pair in euros (EUR) as well. Always choose the pair you actually traded.

<Note>
  Your cost basis and value reflect the currency you bought in:

  * A **EUR** pair is recorded in euros, with no conversion.
  * A **USD** pair is converted to euros at the daily exchange rate.
</Note>

## Where they appear in your portfolio

Cryptocurrencies show up in your investment portfolio alongside stocks and ETFs. You can isolate them with the dedicated **Crypto** filter, and they count toward the investments line of your [net worth overview](/en/features/net-worth-overview).

Like any other holding, you can open the details to see market value, gains or losses, returns, and the full transaction history.
