Holder cost basis refers to the original price or value at which a digital asset was acquired by its current owner, including any associated fees. This metric is fundamental for calculating capital gains or losses when the asset is eventually sold. It represents the initial investment made by the holder. Accurate determination of this basis is critical for tax reporting and financial analysis.
Context

Discussions frequently involve methods for tracking cost basis across various exchanges and wallets, especially with activities like staking, airdrops, or hard forks complicating calculations. Regulatory bodies are increasingly providing guidance on how to correctly ascertain and report this financial data for digital asset holdings.
