🧾 US Crypto Staking Tax – Simple 2025 Update

(US Only)

Hello friends 👋,

if you stake crypto in the United States, the tax rules in 2025 are getting clearer but also stricter.

Many people still think staking rewards are “free money” with no tax until they sell – that’s not how the IRS sees it anymore. �����

🟢Step 1: When Are Staking Rewards Taxed?In the US, staking rewards are treated as ordinary income when you receive them or when they become claimable in your wallet (you have control).The USD value at that time becomes your taxable income and also your cost basis for future gains/losses. �����

🟢 Step 2: What Happens When You Sell Those Rewards?Later, if you sell, swap, or spend the staking rewards, the difference between the sale price and the value when you received them is a capital gain or capital loss.That means: income tax first, then capital gains tax on any profit move after that. ����

🟢 Step 3: What’s New in 2025?The IRS is rolling out new reporting standards (like future Form 1099‑DA) and expects detailed records for digital assets, including staking rewards.

����At the same time, US lawmakers are pushing the IRS to review “double taxation” of staking, so rules could change again before 2026 – but for now, rewards are still taxed as income.

�����🟨 Final Thoughts (Not Tax Advice)

Staking can be a powerful way to grow your bag, but in the US it also creates real, trackable taxable events.if you are a US taxpayer, keep proper records of:

The date and USD value when each reward hits your wallet The date and price when you finally sell or swap
