As the cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, one question that has arisen among US taxpayers is whether or not they are required to disclose cryptocurrency holdings or transactions on the Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts Report (FBAR).

Specifically, taxpayers are mandated to disclose information regarding their cryptocurrency holdings only in the year 2024, if such assets are maintained in an overseas account.

This disclosure requirement applies exclusively to cryptocurrency holdings that are held within an overseas account, where other assets that are subject to reporting are also present.

If the cryptocurrency is solely held within a domestic account or a foreign account without other reportable assets, taxpayers are not required to include this information in their FBAR filings for 2024.
