Help & Documentation

Welcome to the Litecoin Register. This guide explains how to navigate the dashboard, filter data, and understand the metrics we track.

What is the Litecoin Register?

The Litecoin Register is an open-source, community-maintained database tracking the world’s largest Litecoin portfolios. We monitor public companies, investment funds, government reserves, exchanges, and ecosystem projects to provide a real-time view of institutional Litecoin adoption.

Disclaimer: The Litecoin Register is not a broker-dealer, financial advisor, or regulated financial entity. Data is gathered from public filings, blockchain analytics, and voluntary disclosures. It may be incomplete, outdated, or erroneous. Do not use this dashboard for making investment decisions.

Data Integrity

Update Frequency: Data is updated sporadically based on the availability of public reports.
Verification: Entities are only listed if their holdings can be tied to a verified source (SEC filing, audited financial report, or signed wallet message).
Forward-Fill: When data is missing between days on charts, the previous day’s value is carried forward.
Double Counting: Litecoin could be double counted across multiple entities. For example, a company’s treasury could be deployed to a DeFi protocol.
Delayed updates: Public holdings changes are not usually announced until a much later date after the buy/sell has actually occurred. For example, SEC filings can be filed months after the actual reporting period. Therefore current displayed totals do not necessarily represent the true current holdings and charts are sometimes retroactively updated to reflect the latest data.

📊 Dashboard Summary Tiles

At the top of the page, you will find five summary tiles. These metrics update instantly whenever you change your sector filters.

Total Tracked Holdings: The aggregate amount of Litecoin held by the currently selected entities. Includes a pie chart breaking down holdings by sector.
30-Day Net Flow: Shows whether the selected entities have accumulated (+) or distributed (-) Litecoin over the past 30 days. Includes a bar chart comparing sector flows.
Monitored Entities: The total number of individual funds, companies, or addresses currently included in your view. Includes a pie chart showing entity distribution by sector.
% of Total Supply: Two progress bars. The top bar shows the percentage of the 84,000,000 LTC hard cap held by your filtered selection. The bottom bar shows the total tracked across our entire database.

🔍 The Full Taxonomy

You can customize the dashboard using the Sector Checkboxes located above the data table. However, under the hood, the Litecoin Register categorizes entities using a strict taxonomy of Sectors, Subsectors, Regions, and Countries.

1. Sectors & Subsectors (Types)

Ecosystem: sidechain, defi, collectible
- Sidechains, decentralized protocols, and community projects holding LTC.
Treasury: public-company
- Publicly traded corporations holding Litecoin on their corporate balance sheets.
Government: seizure
- Litecoin seized or held by national governments and law enforcement agencies.
Investment: single-asset, index-fund
- ETFs, trusts, and regulated investment vehicles offering LTC exposure.
Exchange: proof-of-reserves, hot-wallet
- Known exchange wallets and verifiable Proof-of-Reserves.

2. Regions & Countries

North America: united-states, canada
Europe: eurozone, sweden
Middle East: united-arab-emirates
Global: Entities without a single defining jurisdiction.

(Note: When filtering, multi-word terms are hyphenated in lowercase. For example: public-company or north-america).

🔗 Advanced URL Parameters

Every time you click a filter or change the time range, the URL in your browser updates automatically. You can share this URL to send someone an exact view of the dashboard.

For advanced users, you can manually craft URLs using parameters that go beyond the standard UI checkboxes. Multiple values can be separated by commas.

Supported Parameters:

?sector= Filters the dashboard to specific sectors or subsectors.
- Example: /?sector=investment,treasury
- Example: /?sector=public-company
?region= Filters the dashboard by geographic region or specific country.
- Example: /?region=north-america
- Example: /?region=sweden,canada
?include= Forces specific entities to appear, regardless of other filters. Uses the entity’s profile slug.
- Example: /?region=sweden,canada&include=ltcn,lits
?exclude= Removes specific entities from the dashboard entirely.
- Example: /?exclude=mweb

Combined Example: To view all North American public companies, while explicitly excluding a specific entity, your URL would look like this: /?sector=public-company&region=north-america&exclude=lits
