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 of crypto, you may be eligible to reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes.
