IS MY CRYPTOCURRENCY DONATION TAX-DEDUCTIBLE?

In the US, the IRS classifies cryptocurrencies as property, so cryptocurrency donations to 501(c)(3) charities receive the same tax treatment as stocks. Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it from your taxes. Please contact your tax or financial advisor for more information.
