What TrackBTC observes, associates, and calculates.

1. Entity-only reporting

TrackBTC measures observed Bitcoin activity for tracked wallet groups. It may use commercially licensed attribution information as an input. Where available information supports an association, a published entity name describes a wallet group likely associated with that organisation or organisational service. TrackBTC reports entity names, not natural-person identities.

Coverage is selective and can be incomplete. The absence of an entity name does not mean an address is unaffiliated, and an association does not mean every address or transaction connected to an entity is included.

2. Three evidence layers

• Observed facts: identified Bitcoin transactions, amounts, direction, completed period, wallet-group coverage, reported balances or movements, and stated calculations.
• Association and analysis: a qualified organisation or service relationship and defined report categories used to organise observed activity.
• Outside the claim: natural-person identity, beneficial ownership of every asset, trade intent, legal status, misconduct, market causation, and price forecasts.

Short public alerts may combine an observed movement with a qualified entity association. Their linked on-chain details support the observed transaction and calculation; they do not turn a qualified association into proof of ownership or intent.

3. Wallet-group associations

An association is a statement about the likely relationship between a wallet group and an organisation or organisational service within the stated coverage. It does not establish that the organisation beneficially owns every asset in the group, initiated or directed every movement, controls every related address, bought or sold Bitcoin, or acted with a particular motive.

Associations may rely on multiple inputs and may change as information improves. TrackBTC may correct, qualify, withdraw, or supersede wording it controls. A commercial input does not make its supplier the publisher of a TrackBTC report.

4. Amounts, balances, ranks, and categories

Report numbers are calculations over the stated Bitcoin coverage and completed period. Amounts can describe transfers or net movement; balances describe covered outputs at a stated point; rankings compare the eligible population defined in the report; and categories apply the definitions shown in that report.

One observed transfer may include change, internal movement, service operations, or another purpose that cannot be established from the transaction alone. A price-context measure aligns accepted market-price information with a stated time boundary and does not prove that a particular party traded at that price or caused a market move. Rounding, thresholds, grouping, and incomplete coverage can affect reported values.

5. Completed periods and report formats

Each report states the evidence available for its completed period or point in time. Later activity is not silently treated as if it were known earlier. Monthly and four-hour are report formats. They do not promise a publication cadence, a minimum number of reports, or continuous availability.

A later report can add context without changing what was observed at the earlier boundary. When a correction changes a material controlled fact, TrackBTC uses the process in the Corrections Policy.

6. Use and limitations

Blockchain records are public but do not by themselves explain identity, control, purpose, or intent. Attribution and analytical categories involve judgment and can be incomplete or wrong. Operational Reports are informational and are not investment, trading, legal, tax, accounting, or compliance advice.
