The IRS currently classifies cryptocurrencies as property, so cryptocurrency donations to 501(c)3 charities may receive the same tax treatment as stocks. Donating cryptocurrency may be a non-taxable event, meaning you may not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and may be able to deduct it from your taxes. This is general information and not legal advice. This information may not be applicable to your financial situation. Please consult your tax or financial advisor for more information.
