Good afternoon, I'm interested in understanding how the taxation of Bitcoin gains and losses works. Could you please elaborate on the tax treatment of cryptocurrency transactions, specifically Bitcoin? I've been hearing conflicting information on whether they're taxed as capital gains, income, or in some other manner. It would be great to have a clear understanding of the tax implications, including any specific rules or exemptions that might apply. Additionally, how does the taxation differ if Bitcoin is used as a medium of exchange versus an investment? Thank you for your assistance in clarifying this matter.

This means that the tax rate applied to these gains is equivalent to the taxpayer's salary or wages tax rate.

Similar to stocks, bonds, precious metals, or specific personal property, Bitcoin's gains and losses are subject to the same tax regulations.

When it comes to short-term capital gains derived from Bitcoin sales, they are taxed as ordinary income.
