Important Notes

Tax laws change frequently. This map reflects general policy and is not legal advice. Always verify the current rules in your country and consult a qualified tax professional before making any decisions.

El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender in 2021, becoming the first country to do so — and removed capital gains tax on Bitcoin for foreign investors.

The United States taxes Bitcoin as property, meaning every sale, trade, or use of Bitcoin is a taxable event subject to capital gains rules.
