Screw the IRS and screw taxes. Unfortunately, this position can land you in jail.
Join Salt Lake Bitcoin Meetup at Brewvies on March 4th at 6:00 PM for a deep dive into the various ways to hold Bitcoin or gain price exposure. Whether you’re self-custodying in cold storage, utilizing a tax-advantaged retirement account, or holding through ETFs, each path comes with distinct financial consequences.
Nate, a seasoned tax expert and Bitcoiner, will join Conner to break down:
- The tax implications of direct ownership vs. paper Bitcoin.
- Reporting requirements for different custody models.
- Strategies for managing your portfolio’s “exposure” while staying compliant.
While we hold close the privacy-first, permissionless ideals that started it all, navigating the current landscape of holding and exposure requires a bit of practical strategy. Until the day we’re paying for our cinema snacks exclusively over Lightning, understanding these trade-offs is a necessary part of the stack.
Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and let’s talk shop.
