# Asset token balance

Asset token balance provides an overview of your token pool and token location or designated purpose.

The **total balance** shows how many tokens are currently in circulation. This number is broken down into subcategories by location and purpose.

* **Issuance wallet (controlled by you)**
  * **Treasury balance** - Newly minted tokens not yet allocated to any specific purpose
  * **Reserved investments balance** - Tokens allocated to investments awaiting completion (payments, agreements, etc.)
  * **Confirmed investments balance** - Tokens allocated to completed investments, ready for distribution
* **Redemption wallet (controlled by you)**
  * **Redeemed balance:** Tokens returned by investors to redemption wallets, awaiting burning
* **Investor wallets (controlled by investors)**
  * **Distributed:** Tokens circulating in investor-owned wallets

Considering `TKN` tiker for this asset with 4 decimals:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```json
{
    "total": {
            "value": 600000,
            "text_value": "60",
            "ticker": "TKN",
            "decimals": 4
    },
    "treasury": {
            "value": 205500,
            "text_value": "20.55",
            "ticker": "TKN",
            "decimals": 4
    },
    "reserved_investments": {
            "value": 104500,
            "text_value": "10.45",
            "ticker": "TKN",
            "decimals": 4
    },
    "confirmed_investments": {
            "value": 30000,
            "text_value": "3",
            "ticker": "TKN",
            "decimals": 4
    },
    "distributed": {
            "value": 35200,
            "text_value": "3.52",
            "ticker": "TKN",
            "decimals": 4
    },
    "redeemed": {
            "value": 0,
            "text_value": "0",
            "ticker": "TKN",
            "decimals": 4
    }
}
```

{% endcode %}

</details>

This breakdown helps you understand not just how many tokens exist, but their current state and relationship to your tokenization workflow.

{% hint style="info" %}
When you burn tokens, they disappear from the asset balance entirely. You can see all mint/burn activity in the asset events log or asset balance log.
{% endhint %}

## Changes in token balance

Changes in asset token balance result from these activities:

{% columns %}
{% column width="50%" %}

* **Minting or burning tokens** - Affects treasury balance when adding tokens for distribution or removing excess tokens. Also affects redeemed balance when burning tokens received through redemptions.
* **Investment flow** - Token shifts between treasury balance and reserved/confirmed investment balances as investors progress through the purchase process.
* **Distribution** - Transfers tokens from confirmed investments to distributed balance when tokens reach investor wallets.
* **Redemptions** - Moves tokens from distributed to redeemed balance when investors return tokens (if redemption is enabled).
  {% endcolumn %}

{% column width="50%" valign="middle" %}

{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}

You can view all these events and changes in the token balance logs for detailed tracking.

## Special cases

Some token operations have unique effects on balance tracking that are worth understanding:

* **Wallet freezing** - Temporarily restricting token transfers (e.g., for regulatory requests) doesn't affect token balances, only transfer capability.
* **Wallet recovery** - When investors lose access and tokens are reissued to new wallets, this may cause temporary balance fluctuations during the recovery process but shouldn't affect end-of-day totals.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://taas-docs.stokr.io/asset-distribution/asset-token-balance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
