Strike's tax-form delivery page says it issues Form 1099-DA for a year in which a customer sold or otherwise disposed of bitcoin.

Strike's 1099-DA instructions do not name a tax year or identify the payer name on the form.

Treat that distinction as the starting point: Strike describes the document, but the form in your account establishes which year and payer apply to you.

This article focuses on the layout, tax-lot rows, and correction timing that you can check against your own records.

Does Strike issue a 1099-DA?

Strike's tax-form delivery page limits issuance to customers who sold or otherwise disposed of bitcoin during the year. Strike also says that every form it issues goes to the IRS. Its 1099-DA instructions do not name a tax year, so they do not establish that a particular 2025 form is available for every Strike customer.

Check the year printed on the actual document in your Documents section.

The IRS's 2025 Publication 544 describes Form 1099-DA gross-proceeds reporting for broker-effected digital-asset sales in 2025; that general rollout does not date Strike's particular form.

See which exchanges issue Form 1099-DA for the broader issuer picture.

Strike's page also does not name the payer printed on the form. Its statement is useful evidence of Strike's stated issuance condition, not a substitute for inspecting the PDF or record delivered to your account.

Where and when to find your Strike tax form

In the Strike app, open the Documents section.

Strike's delivery instructions say customers with taxable transactions receive a notice to access the form in the app by mid-February of the following year.

If the account has been closed, Strike says the notification is sent by email.

This is Strike's stated delivery timing, not an IRS filing deadline.

If the document is missing, use Strike's support route rather than assuming that no PDF means no reporting document. Keep the notice, downloaded form, and account-closure email with your transaction records.

Which document am I looking for?

Your documented situation Document to look for
Personal account with a bitcoin sale or other disposition Form 1099-DA
Business account with a bitcoin sale or other disposition The same Form 1099-DA
Business account that accepts payments A possible additional Form 1099-K
No stated taxable disposition or other listed activity Do not assume a form will be issued
Account closed after taxable activity Look for the email notification from Strike

The business payment form is separate from the bitcoin sale form. Strike's FAQ says a business accepting payments may also receive Form 1099-K; that does not date its 1099-DA instructions.

Who is named on the form?

Strike's support pages do not say whose name appears in the payer field on a customer's Form 1099-DA. The footer identifies Zap Solutions, Inc. dba Strike as a company identity, but that footer does not establish the payer printed on your form.

Open the received document and inspect the payer field itself. Record that name with the tax year and document type. Do not replace the field with a guess based on the app name or footer.

What the form reports and leaves out

Strike's form walkthrough describes a yearly summary showing total proceeds, total basis, realized gain or loss, and federal income tax withheld across six categories.

One sale can occupy several tax-lot rows because the disposal may draw from several acquisition lots. Those rows are not automatically several sales.

Each form section also indicates whether basis was reported to the IRS. That indicator helps select the applicable Form 8949 box, as described in the 2025 Form 8949 instructions. The basis shown to you and the basis sent to the IRS are separate questions.

The 2026 IRS Instructions for Form 1099-DA require brokers to report basis for covered assets and allow omission for noncovered assets (current figure at the IRS).

For bitcoin bought after 2025, the IRS covered-asset test requires acquisition in the broker's custodial account and holding there through disposal. Strike's support page does not describe a dated 2026 basis-reporting plan; use that custody test and the section's indicator when checking your form.

The same 2026 IRS instructions classify transferred-in bitcoin as noncovered, so basis reporting is optional for the receiving broker. Strike marks each section's basis-reporting status and links to cost-basis management. Compare the original acquisition record with the form and use the indicated Form 8949 box.

A blank or unreported basis does not mean the basis is zero.

The covered versus noncovered assets guide handles the broader phase-in and basis rules.

Strike form field or feature What Strike says it shows Record to compare Action when it differs
Summary proceeds Yearly total proceeds across six categories Exported transaction history and disposition dates Identify the transaction rows behind the total
Summary cost basis Yearly total basis Acquisition records, including transferred-in bitcoin Separate customer-visible basis from basis reported to the IRS
Tax-lot rows Several rows may represent one sale Lot-level acquisition and disposition history Do not count each row as a separate sale
Basis-reported indicator Whether each section's basis went to the IRS The relevant Form 8949 reporting box Follow the indicator while preserving your own basis records
Correction version A replacement or additional updated copy Original download and corrected document Keep both versions and follow Strike's timing instructions

Form-versus-record checklist

  1. Take the tax year, payer name, and document type from the actual form.
  2. Compare disposition dates and proceeds with your exported Strike history.
  3. Locate the original acquisition record for any transferred-in bitcoin.
  4. Record the basis-reported status shown for each section.
  5. Preserve the original and any correction, and note the Strike support path used.

Other forms and business accounts

Strike's business tax-form FAQ says business accounts receive the same Form 1099-DA for bitcoin disposals. A business that accepts payments may also receive Form 1099-K, which concerns payment acceptance rather than replacing the sale form.

Do not use the possible 1099-K as evidence that a bitcoin sale is missing from the 1099-DA. Start with the activity that produced each document, then match the document to the account records. The River's four-form split page is a separate exchange example and does not establish Strike's form set.

Corrections and Strike support

Strike's correction instructions tell customers to update their account details or contact support when information needs correction. Its documented sequence uses April 15:

  • Before April 15, a corrected copy replaces the original in the app.
  • After April 15, the updated copy appears alongside the original.
  • Strike says the later copy supersedes the original in IRS systems.

That sequence tells you which document to preserve and compare. It does not promise the day a correction will appear, and it does not decide whether a return already filed needs an amended return.

Download the original before requesting a change. Afterward, save the updated copy beside it and note the date of the request, the changed field, and the support conversation. If a correction appears after April 15, do not delete the original simply because the newer copy is the one Strike says supersedes it in IRS systems.

The Venmo's correction email page describes a different documented correction route. Do not import that process into a Strike account.

What this means for your filing

Start with the downloaded form beside transaction history, then move to the acquisition records when a row or basis figure does not fit. Several tax-lot rows can look like several sales at a glance (count the disposals, not just the rows). Strike documents the app path, layout and correction sequence; take the year and payer from your actual form.

Use this sequence:

  1. Open Documents and write down the year, payer, and form type shown on the actual document.
  2. Match total proceeds to the transaction export, checking dates and each sale's lot rows.
  3. Review total basis and the basis-reported indicator section by section.
  4. Trace transferred-in bitcoin to the original acquisition record instead of treating a missing reported basis as zero.
  5. Keep the original and corrected versions together.

The check the broker form against your records calculator can organize that comparison. If the basis field is blank, see why the basis field is blank. Once the records agree, use the report reconciled sales on Form 8949 guide for the form-box connection.

Questions about Strike's form

Which tax year does Strike's support page cover?

Strike's 1099-DA instructions do not name a tax year. Check the year printed on the form in the Documents section; the general IRS rollout does not date Strike's particular return.

Who is listed as the payer on my Strike 1099-DA?

Strike's page does not say. Inspect the payer field on the received form, and do not treat the Zap Solutions, Inc. dba Strike footer as that field.

Will Strike email me if I closed my account?

Yes, Strike says a customer with taxable activity in the preceding year receives a notification email after account closure. The form and the tax year still need to be checked in the delivered document.

Does a Strike business account get a different form for bitcoin sales?

No. Strike says the same Form 1099-DA applies to a business account's bitcoin disposals. A business accepting payments may also receive a separate Form 1099-K.

For the broader issuer picture, see which exchanges issue Form 1099-DA. Bitcoin-only comparisons include River's four-form split and Swan's covered and uncovered bitcoin.

The linked covered versus noncovered assets and report reconciled sales on Form 8949 guides cover the surrounding records work without applying another exchange's policy to Strike.

Open your Strike Documents, confirm the tax year and payer on the actual form, then check the form against your transaction records.
