To learn more about our role in this space, you can read our articles on the topic in Time Magazine and CNN and listen to our interview at Bloomberg.

For donors in the United States, the IRS has classified Bitcoin as property for tax purposes. This means that when you donate Bitcoin to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit like HRF, you don’t have to pay capital gains tax and the full amount is tax deductible for you.
