For United States tax residents, 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 on your taxes. This makes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax-efficient ways to support your favourite cause. You can donate Bitcoin, Ethereum, DOGE, Litecoin, and more. Please contact your tax or financial advisor for more information.
