Organization and Description of Business and Recent Developments | Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business and Recent Developments BTCS Inc. (formerly Bitcoin Shop, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in 2008. In February 2014, the Company entered the business of hosting an online ecommerce marketplace where consumers could purchase merchandise using Digital Assets, including bitcoin and is currently focused on blockchain and digital currency ecosystems. In January 2015, the Company began a rebranding campaign using its BTCS.COM domain (shorthand for Blockchain Technology Consumer Solutions) to better reflect its broadened strategy. The Company released its new website which included broader information on its strategy. In late 2014 we shifted our focus towards our transaction verification service business, also known as bitcoin mining, though in mid-2016 we ceased our mining operation at our North Carolina facility due to capital constraints. The Company acquires Digital Assets to provide investors with indirect ownership of Digital Assets that are not securities, such as bitcoin and ether. The Company acquires Digital Assets through open market purchases. We are not limiting our assets to a single type of Digital Asset and may purchase a variety of Digital Assets that appear to benefit our investors, subject to the certain limitations regarding Digital Securities. The Company has not participated in any initial coin offerings as it believes most of the offerings entail the offering of Digital Securities and require registration under the Securities Act and under state securities laws or can only be sold to accredited investors in the United States. Since about July 2017, initial coin offerings using Digital Securities have been (or should be) limited to accredited investors. Because we cannot qualify as an accredited investor, we do not intend to acquire coins in initial coin offerings or from purchasers in such offerings. Further, the Company does not intend to participate in registered or unregistered initial coin offerings. The Company will carefully review its purchases of Digital Securities to avoid violating the 1940 Act and seek to reduce potential liabilities under the federal securities laws. The Company is also seeking to acquire controlling interests in businesses in the blockchain industry. The Company is also internally developing a digital asset data analytics platform to provide information to users, such as tracking of multiple exchanges and wallets to aggregate portfolio holdings into a single platform to view and analyze performance, risk metrics, and potential tax implications. The market is rapidly evolving and there can be no assurances that we will be competitive with industry participants that have or may have greater resources than us. Amendment to Articles of Incorporation On April 5, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Nevada Secretary of State to effect a one-for 30 reverse split of the Company’s class of common stock. The Amendment took effect on April 9, 2019. No fractional shares were or will be issued or distributed as a result of the Amendment. Fractional shares resulting from the reverse split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. Numbers of shares of the Company’s preferred stock were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split; however, the conversion ratios have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split. |

Liquidity, Financial Condition and Management's Plans | Note 3 - Liquidity, Financial Condition and Management’s Plans The Company has commenced its planned operations but has limited operating activities to date. The Company has financed its operations since inception using proceeds received from capital contributions made by its officers and proceeds in financing transactions. Notwithstanding, the Company has limited revenues, limited capital resources and is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties that are typical of an early stage enterprise. Significant uncertainties include, among others, whether the Company will be able to raise the capital it needs to finance its longer-term operations and whether such operations, if launched, will enable the Company to sustain operations as a profitable enterprise. Our working capital needs are influenced by our level of operations, and generally decrease with higher levels of revenue. The Company used $2,973,003 of cash in its operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company incurred $2,556,094 net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company had cash of $524,135 and working capital of $1,043,057 at December 31, 2020. The Company expects to incur losses into the foreseeable future as it undertakes its efforts to execute its business plans. The Company will require significant additional capital to sustain its short-term operations and make the investments it needs to execute its longer-term business plan. The Company’s existing liquidity is not sufficient to fund its operations and anticipated capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. The Company is currently seeking to obtain additional equity financing, primarily through the Equity Line Purchase Agreement with Cavalry and seeking to obtain additional equity linked debt financing, however there are currently no other commitments of debt or equity in place for further financing nor is there any assurance that such financing will be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at all. Because of recurring operating losses, net operating cash flow deficits, and an accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not made adjustments to the accompanying financial statements to reflect the potential effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company continues to incur ongoing administrative and other operating expenses, including public company expenses, in excess of revenues. While the Company continues to implement its business strategy, it intends to finance its activities by: ● managing current cash and cash equivalents on hand from the Company’s past debt and equity offerings by controlling costs, ● seeking additional financing through sales of additional securities whether through Cavalry or other investors. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 4- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements is as follows: Concentration of Cash The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions in checking accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of six months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had approximately $524,000 and $143,000 in cash. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $274,135 and $0 in excess of the FDIC insured limit, respectively. Digital Assets Translations and Remeasurements Digital Assets are included in current assets in the balance sheets. Digital Assets are recorded at cost less impairment. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted. Realized gain (loss) on sale of Digital Assets are included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The Company assesses impairment of Digital Assets quarterly if the fair value of Digital Assets is less than its cost basis. The Company recognizes impairment losses on Digital Assets caused by decreases in fair value using the average U.S. dollar spot price of the related Digital Asset as of each impairment date. Such impairment in the value of Digital Assets are recorded as a component of costs and expenses in our statements of operations. Internally Developed Software Internally developed software consisting of the core technology of the Company’s digital asset data analytics platform which is being designed to allow user to aggregate and analyze data from Digital Asset exchanges. For internally developed software, the Company uses both its own employees as well as the services of external vendors and independent contractors. The Company accounts for computer software used in the business in accordance with ASC 985-20 and ASC 350. ASC 985-20, Software-Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Property and Equipment Property and equipment consists of leasehold improvements, computer, equipment and office furniture and fixtures, all of which are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization is recorded using the straight-line method over the respective useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company uses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 - quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable Level 3 - inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions) Use of Estimates The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of indefinite life intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates, including the carrying amount of the indefinite life intangible assets, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates and assumptions. Income Taxes The Company recognizes income taxes on an accrual basis based on tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns. A tax position is defined as a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax filing that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Tax positions are recognized only when it is more likely than not (i.e., likelihood of greater than 50%), based on technical merits, that the position would be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are measured using a probability-weighted approach as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if all, or some portion, of such assets will more than likely not be realized. Should they occur, the Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties related to tax positions as income tax expense. Since the Company’s inception, no such interest or penalties have been incurred. Employee Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment (“SBP”) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans and stock incentive shares. Under ASC 718 awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in a charge to operations. Advertising Expense Advertisement costs are expensed as incurred and included in marketing expenses. Advertising expenses amounted to approximately $6,000 and $10,000 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net Loss per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, convertible notes and warrants. Diluted loss per share excludes the shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock, notes and warrants from the calculation of net loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. The following financial instruments were not included in the diluted loss per share calculation as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 because their effect was anti-dilutive: As of As of December 31, 2020 2019 Warrants to purchase common stock 2,502,915 937,904 Series C-1 Convertible Preferred stock 196,093 196,093 Convertible notes 8,097,166 3,676,471 Total 10,796,174 4,810,468 Preferred Stock The Company applies the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” when determining the classification and measurement of preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. The Company classifies conditionally redeemable preferred shares (if any), which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control, as temporary equity. At all other times, the Company classifies its preferred shares in stockholders’ equity. The Company’s preferred shares do not feature any redemption rights within the holders’ control or conditional redemption features not within the Company’s control as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Accordingly, all issuances of preferred stock are presented as a component of stockholders’ equity. Convertible Instruments The Company has evaluated the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) component of the Private Placement and determined it should be considered an “equity host” and not a “debt host” as defined by ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. This evaluation is necessary in order to determine if any embedded features require bifurcation and, therefore, separate accounting as a derivative liability. The Company’s analysis followed the “whole instrument approach,” which compares an individual feature against the entire preferred stock instrument which includes that feature. The Company’s analysis was based on a consideration of the Preferred Stock’s economic characteristics and risks and more specifically evaluated all the stated and implied substantive terms and features including (i) whether the Preferred Stock included redemption features, (ii) whether the preferred stockholders were entitled to dividends, (iii) the voting rights of the Preferred Stock and (iv) the existence and nature of any conversion rights. As a result of the Company’s determination that the Preferred Stock is an “equity host,” the embedded conversion feature is not considered a derivative liability. Beneficial Conversion Feature of Convertible Notes Payable The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the guidelines established by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The beneficial conversion feature of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued. The discounted face value is then used to measure the effective conversion price of the note. The effective conversion price and the market price of the Company’s common stock are used to calculate the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. The intrinsic value is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount from the face amount of the note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to interest expense. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity |

Note Payable | Note 5 - Note Payable 2019 Promissory Note On November 7, 2019, the Company issued Cavalry Fund I LP (“Cavalry”) a $200,000 promissory note (the “2019 Promissory Note”). The 2019 Promissory Note is due on August 7, 2020 and is: (i) convertible at a 20% discount to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date before exercise with a floor price of $0.02 per share, (ii) shall bear interest at 12% per annum (payable at maturity) and in the event of default bears interest at a rate of 20%, (iii) convertible at the Company’s option subject to certain limitations as set forth in the 2019 Promissory Note, and (iv) may be prepaid by the Company. In addition, the Convertible Note does not contain any embedded features that require bifurcation pursuant to ASC 815-15. At the issuance date, the Convertible Note was convertible into 2,173,913 shares of common stock at $0.09 per share, but the Company’s fair value of underlying common stock was $0.12 per share. As such, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature, resulting in a discount to the Notes of approximately $50,000 with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. On April 6, 2020, the Company issued a total of 735,294 shares of the Company’s common stock for the conversion of $50,000 of principal on the 2019 Promissory Note. On May 7, 2020, the Company issued a total of 632,736 shares of the Company’s common stock for the conversion of the remaining $150,000 of principal and $2,000 of interest on the 2019 Promissory Note. On May 11, 2020, the Company issued a total of 35,824 shares of the Company’s common stock for the conversion of the remaining accrued interest of $9,458 on the 2019 Promissory Note.

Equity [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) | Note 6 - Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) Amendment to Articles of Incorporation On April 5, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Nevada Secretary of State to effect a one-for 30 reverse split of the Company’s class of common stock. The Amendment took effect on April 9, 2019. No fractional shares were or will be issued or distributed as a result of the Amendment. Fractional shares resulting from the reverse split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. Numbers of shares of the Company’s preferred stock were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split; however, the conversion ratios have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split. Preferred Stock We are authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock in one or more series with such designations, voting powers, if any, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and such qualifications, limitations and restrictions, as are determined by resolution of our board of directors. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by shareholders and could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of common stock. In certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could depress the market price of the common stock. Series C-1 Preferred Stock We have 29,414 shares of outstanding Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C-1”) which converts into 196,093 shares of common stock. Each share of Series C-1 converts into approximately 6.667 shares of common stock. The Certificate of Designation contains what is commonly referred to as a blocker which limits the number of shares of common stock which the holder may “beneficially own” to 4.99% of the common stock issued and outstanding. Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, in determining beneficial ownership the holder must consider shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion or exercise of other securities within 60-days of the date of calculation and which are not subject to any limitation on conversion or exercise. The Series C-1 also contains a provision requiring the Company to treat all holders equally. 2019 Activities On April 18, 2019, the Company issued 16,860 shares of Common Stock in connection with the one-for 30 reverse split resulting from the rounding up of fractional shares of Common Stock to the whole shares of Common Stock. During 2019, the Company issued 4,642,108 shares of Common Stock (including 333,334 commitment shares and 68,532 pro-rata commitment shares) under the Purchase Agreement with Cavalry resulting in aggregate proceeds of approximately $1.16 million. During 2019, the Company issued 725,564 shares of Common Stock for the cash exercise of Series A Warrants, Additional Warrants, and Bonus Warrants resulting in aggregate proceeds of $228,000 to the Company. During 2019, the Company issued a total of 1,931,788 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for the conversion of approximately $200,000 of principal and $18,000 of interest on the Convertible Note. Equity Line Purchase Agreement On May 13, 2019, the Company entered into an equity line purchase agreement with Cavalry (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Cavalry agreed to purchase from the Company, at Company’s sole discretion, up to $10,000,000 of common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over a 36-month period. In consideration for entering into the $10 million Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Cavalry 333,334 shares of common stock as a commitment fee and will issue up to 583,334 shares of common stock pro rata as Cavalry purchases additional shares. Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement on May 13, 2019, the Company and Cavalry also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), no later than May 23, 2019 to register for resale by Cavalry under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), the shares of common stock that the Company may elect to issue and sell to Cavalry from time to time under the Purchase Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that in the event the Company is unable to register sufficient shares under the Registration Statement, the Company will be required to file additional registration statements such that sufficient registered shares are available for issuance and sale to Cavalry under the Purchase Agreement. The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 seeking to register 4,374,741 shares. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on May 28, 2019. Provided the Registration Statement remains current and effective and the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied, the Company may, from time to time and at its sole discretion, direct Cavalry to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock during trading hours (“Intraday Puts”) and after trading hours until 7 p.m. New York time (“Aftermarket Puts”) (either an Intraday Put or an Aftermarket Put may be referred to as a “Put”). The Company may make multiple Puts each day subject to delivery of the shares associated with prior Puts. The number of shares that may be sold under an Intraday Put shall be equal to the total daily trading dollar volume (“Daily Trading Dollar Volume”) for the trading day prior to the applicable Put date, divided by the Intraday Purchase Price (such shares being the “Intraday Put Share Limit”). The “Intraday Purchase Price” means the lower of: (i) 94% of the lowest sale price on the trading day prior to the applicable Put date, and (ii) 94% of the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing prices for the Company’s common stock during the 12 consecutive trading days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Put date. The number of shares that may be sold under an Aftermarket Put shall be equal to the Daily Trading Dollar Volume, divided by the Aftermarket Put Price (such shares being the “Aftermarket Put Share Limit”). The “Aftermarket Put Price” means: the lower of: (i) the lowest Sale Price on the applicable Put date, and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing prices for the Company’s common stock during the 12 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding such Put date. Upon mutual agreement of Cavalry and the Company and subject to written confirmation by Cavalry that such agreement will not result in violation of the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, the Company may increase the Intraday Put Share Limit or the Aftermarket Put Share Limit, as applicable, for any Put to include an amount equal to $2,000,000 in Put shares at the applicable Purchase Price, in each case in addition to the applicable Intraday Put Share Limit or Aftermarket Put Share Limit. In all instances, the Company may not sell shares of its common stock to Cavalry under the Purchase Agreement if it would result in Cavalry beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock or if the closing price the trading day immediately preceding the Put date is below $0.005. As of December 31, 2019, the Company sold all 4,374,741 shares available for sale under the Registration Statement for total proceeds of $1,146,014, net of cost of $12,625. The Company also issued 333,334 commitment shares and 68,532 pro-rata commitment shares which were registered under the Registration Statement. On September 5, 2019, the Company filed a second Registration Statement on Form S-1 seeking to register 6,454,000 shares. The second Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on December 20, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company sold 267,367 shares available for sale under the second Registration Statement for total proceeds of $15,986. 2020 Activities During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 6,186,633 shares of common stock (including 24,219 pro-rata commitment shares) under the second Registration Statement pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with Cavalry resulting in aggregate proceeds of approximately $415,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, Company issued 9,045,000 shares of common stock (including 84,303 pro-rata commitment shares) under the third Registration Statement pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with Cavalry resulting in aggregate proceeds of approximately $1,445,000 million. On April 6, 2020, the Company issued a total of 735,294 shares of the Company’s common stock for the conversion of $50,000 of principal on the 2019 Promissory Note. On May 7, 2020, the Company issued a total of 632,736 shares of the Company’s common stock for the conversion of the remaining $150,000 of principal and $2,000 of interest on the 2019 Promissory Note.

Income Taxes | Note 8 - Income Taxes The Company had no income tax expense due to operating loss incurred for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The tax effects of temporary differences and tax loss and credit carry forwards that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2020 and 2019 are comprised of the following: As of December 31, 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets: Net-operating loss carryforward (federal & state) $ 2,166,158 $ 1,558,626 Other - - Total Deferred Tax Assets 2,166,158 1,558,626 Valuation allowance (2,166,158 ) (1,558,626 ) Deferred Tax Asset, Net of Allowance $ - $ - At December 31, 2020, the Company had net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards for federal and state tax purposes of approximately $9.23 million and $3.61 million respectively which begins to expire in 2034. The NOLs carryforward amounts identified in the table above are comprised of both the federal NOLs and state NOLs. The tax effected federal NOL is $1.94 million and the state NOL carryforward available is $0.228 million. The state NOL carryforward available to the Company is taken from the actual state tax returns filed in previous years. The only state whereby NOL carryforwards are available is Maryland as that is the only state that has losses apportioned to it based on state income tax rules. The other state in which the Company has filed and continues to file corporate income tax returns is Pennsylvania. Because Pennsylvania uses the single receipts factor to apportion taxable income (loss), since there are no receipts earned by the Company, the Pennsylvania state apportionment factor is zero and there are no Pennsylvania NOLs available to be carried forward. The 20-year carryforward period has been replaced with an indefinite carryforward period for these NOLs generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and future years. Prior to the February 5, 2014 merger, the Company had generated net operating losses, which the Company’s preliminary analysis indicates would be subject to significant limitations pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company has not completed its IRC Section 382 Valuation, as required and the NOL’s because of potential change of ownerships might be completely worthless. Therefore, management of the Company has recorded a Full Valuation Reserve, since it is more likely than not that no benefit will be realized for the Deferred Tax Assets. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and taxing strategies in making this assessment. In case the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of the deferred tax assets at December 31, 2020 and 2019. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $0.607 million as of December 31, 2020. The expected tax expense (benefit) based on the U.S. federal statutory rate is reconciled with actual tax expense (benefit) as follows: For the years ended December 31, 2020 2019 Statutory Federal Income Tax Rate (21.0 )% (21.0 )% State Taxes, Net of Federal Tax Benefit (6.3 )% (6.3 )% Federal tax rate change 0.0 % 0.0 Other 27.3 % 27.3 Change in Valuation Allowance (0.0 )% (0.0 )% Income Taxes Provision (Benefit) - % - % The Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions requiring a reserve as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. |

The 2021 December Promissory Note is (i) due on November 15, 2021, (ii) convertible at a 35% discount to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date before exercise with a floor price of $0.75 per share and (iii) shall bear interest at 12% per annum (payable at maturity). Subject to certain limitations, the Company may force conversion of the Promissory Note. The 2,000,000 Series D Warrants are exercisable for cash only at $2.16 per share, over a two-year period, and do not contain anti-dilution or price protection. On January 15, 2021, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Cavalry upon the exercise of all their Series C warrants and payment of the exercise price of $400,000. Cavalry and the Company entered into an agreement whereby the Cavalry would exercise early for cash provided that the Company register the underlying shares of Common Stock within 30 days of exercise. All of the above offerings and sales were deemed to be exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. The offerings and sales were made to a limited number of accredited investors, and transfer was restricted by us in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. Each investor agreed that it was purchasing for investment and not with a view to distribution. On January 21, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Withdrawal with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Certificate of Withdrawal, which was effective upon filing, eliminated from the Articles of Incorporation of the Company all matters set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Designation with respect to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock that had been previously filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on December 9, 2016. No shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were issued or outstanding at the time of the filing of the Certificate of Withdrawal, and none will be issued. On January 21, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Withdrawal with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Certificate of Withdrawal, which was effective upon filing, eliminated from the Articles of Incorporation of the Company all matters set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Designation with respect to the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that had been previously filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on March 15, 2017. No shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were issued or outstanding at the time of the filing of the Certificate of Withdrawal, and none will be issued. On January 6, 2021, the Company issued Series C-2 Preferred Stock to Messrs. David Garrity, a director, and Charles Allen and Michal Handerhan, executive officers and directors of the Company. After further review, the Company determined that there was a scrivener’s error in Section 6 (Ant-Dilution Adjustment) of the Certificate of Designation. The formula was meant to be the product of (i) 0.0000004 (as opposed to the filed 0.000002), and (ii) the aggregate amount of all capital raised by the Company after the initial issuance date, subject to a $13 million cap. On January 21, 2021 the Company filed a Certificate of Correction in the state of Nevada to fix this error. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Concentration of Cash | Concentration of Cash The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions in checking accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of six months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had approximately $524,000 and $143,000 in cash. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $274,135 and $0 in excess of the FDIC insured limit, respectively. |
Digital Assets Translations and Remeasurements | Digital Assets Translations and Remeasurements Digital Assets are included in current assets in the balance sheets. Digital Assets are recorded at cost less impairment. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted. Realized gain (loss) on sale of Digital Assets are included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The Company assesses impairment of Digital Assets quarterly if the fair value of Digital Assets is less than its cost basis. The Company recognizes impairment losses on Digital Assets caused by decreases in fair value using the average U.S. dollar spot price of the related Digital Asset as of each impairment date. Such impairment in the value of Digital Assets are recorded as a component of costs and expenses in our statements of operations. |
Internally Developed Software | Internally Developed Software Internally developed software consisting of the core technology of the Company’s digital asset data analytics platform which is being designed to allow user to aggregate and analyze data from Digital Asset exchanges. For internally developed software, the Company uses both its own employees as well as the services of external vendors and independent contractors. The Company accounts for computer software used in the business in accordance with ASC 985-20 and ASC 350. ASC 985-20, Software-Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment consists of leasehold improvements, computer, equipment and office furniture and fixtures, all of which are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization is recorded using the straight-line method over the respective useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company uses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 - quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable Level 3 - inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions) |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of indefinite life intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates, including the carrying amount of the indefinite life intangible assets, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates and assumptions. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company recognizes income taxes on an accrual basis based on tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns. A tax position is defined as a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax filing that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Tax positions are recognized only when it is more likely than not (i.e., likelihood of greater than 50%), based on technical merits, that the position would be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are measured using a probability-weighted approach as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if all, or some portion, of such assets will more than likely not be realized. Should they occur, the Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties related to tax positions as income tax expense. Since the Company’s inception, no such interest or penalties have been incurred. |
Employee Stock-Based Compensation | Employee Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment (“SBP”) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans and stock incentive shares. Under ASC 718 awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in a charge to operations. |
Advertising Expense | Advertising Expense Advertisement costs are expensed as incurred and included in marketing expenses. Advertising expenses amounted to approximately $6,000 and $10,000 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, convertible notes and warrants. Diluted loss per share excludes the shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock, notes and warrants from the calculation of net loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. The following financial instruments were not included in the diluted loss per share calculation as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 because their effect was anti-dilutive: As of As of December 31, 2020 2019 Warrants to purchase common stock 2,502,915 937,904 Series C-1 Convertible Preferred stock 196,093 196,093 Convertible notes 8,097,166 3,676,471 Total 10,796,174 4,810,468 |
Preferred Stock | Preferred Stock The Company applies the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” when determining the classification and measurement of preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. The Company classifies conditionally redeemable preferred shares (if any), which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control, as temporary equity. At all other times, the Company classifies its preferred shares in stockholders’ equity. The Company’s preferred shares do not feature any redemption rights within the holders’ control or conditional redemption features not within the Company’s control as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Accordingly, all issuances of preferred stock are presented as a component of stockholders’ equity. |
Convertible Instruments | Convertible Instruments The Company has evaluated the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) component of the Private Placement and determined it should be considered an “equity host” and not a “debt host” as defined by ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. This evaluation is necessary in order to determine if any embedded features require bifurcation and, therefore, separate accounting as a derivative liability. The Company’s analysis followed the “whole instrument approach,” which compares an individual feature against the entire preferred stock instrument which includes that feature. The Company’s analysis was based on a consideration of the Preferred Stock’s economic characteristics and risks and more specifically evaluated all the stated and implied substantive terms and features including (i) whether the Preferred Stock included redemption features, (ii) whether the preferred stockholders were entitled to dividends, (iii) the voting rights of the Preferred Stock and (iv) the existence and nature of any conversion rights. As a result of the Company’s determination that the Preferred Stock is an “equity host,” the embedded conversion feature is not considered a derivative liability. |
Beneficial Conversion Feature of Convertible Notes Payable | Beneficial Conversion Feature of Convertible Notes Payable The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the guidelines established by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The beneficial conversion feature of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued. The discounted face value is then used to measure the effective conversion price of the note. The effective conversion price and the market price of the Company’s common stock are used to calculate the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. The intrinsic value is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount from the face amount of the note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to interest expense. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity |
