Selling crypto counts as selling property — yes, it’s taxable.
Crypto Tax Fact 101: The IRS Wants to Know About Your Coins
Here’s a must-know fact for anyone dabbling in digital currency: Crypto is taxable — and the IRS is watching.
Whether you traded Bitcoin, mined Ethereum, got paid in crypto, or used it to buy something — it can create a taxable event that must be reported on your tax return.

📊 How Is Crypto Taxed?
The IRS treats crypto as property, not cash — so:
✔️ Selling crypto for fiat currency = taxable gain or loss
✔️ Trading one coin for another = taxable event
✔️ Spending crypto to buy goods or services = taxable event
✔️ Mining or staking crypto = taxable income when received
Many taxpayers think small trades fly under the radar — but the IRS now asks every taxpayer: “Did you receive, sell, or exchange any digital assets?” on your tax return.
⚠️ Crypto Tax Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Forgetting to report crypto trades — the IRS cross-checks exchange data
❌ Not tracking cost basis and fair market value
❌ Overlooking taxable airdrops or staking rewards
❌ Using crypto for purchases and ignoring the taxable gain or loss
