Is Donating Crypto or Stock Tax-Deductible?

Donating crypto and stock is a non-taxable event. Donors do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated crypto and stock that is donated and can typically deduct the fair market value of the donation on their taxes. This often makes Bitcoin, Ethereum, other cryptocurrency, and stock donations one of the most tax-efficient ways to support your favorite cause. Talk to a crypto-savvy tax professional or connect with The Giving Block to get connected with one. Learn more at
