Are crypto donations tax-deductible?
Yes! Crypto donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to charity. Your crypto donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law if you pay taxes in the U.S. By making a charitable gift, you may also be eligible to significantly reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes.
As with any tax-related questions, be sure to consult with a qualified, professional tax advisor. Get more information about lowering your crypto taxes.
Isn’t cryptocurrency bad for the environment?
It’s true that the computational power required to run blockchain protocols has an energy cost. But so does the massive financial and military infrastructure that holds up federal fiat currency. In our fundamentally unsustainable system, there is sadly no perfect way to give. However, we are optimistic that – with a transition to a clean energy grid – blockchain technology can empower the very type of decentralization that is central to the foundation of a just and sustainable economy.
