If you are looking for ways to minimize taxes on your crypto investments and help the mission and ministries of the Church, consider making gifts of cryptocurrency.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) treats cryptocurrency as property. Therefore, if you have bought and held cryptocurrency for more than one year before donating, your gift could be eligible for an itemized charitable deduction for the fair market value of the cryptocurrency at the time of contribution. Further, if you are donating appreciated cryptocurrency, you may avoid capital gains taxes on the cryptocurrency you donate.

As with any tax-related questions, be sure to consult with a qualified, professional tax advisor. Get more information about lowering your crypto taxes.
