Save on your Taxes by Donating Cryptocurrency

Why Donate Crypto Directly? Taxes!

There’s a reason high net worth individuals tend to donate stocks and other property instead of cash. Donating cryptocurrency directly to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit is more tax efficient and can save you money.

The IRS classifies cryptocurrency as property for tax purposes, which means it is often the most tax efficient way to support your favorite non-profits.

When donating crypto, you receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the crypto, and you avoid the capital gains tax you would have incurred if you had sold the crypto and then made a donation. That means you’re able to donate more, and deduct more on your tax return. The difference? Sometimes more than 30%. In other words, the cost of donating $1 of crypto can be only $0.70 or less.
