  Cryptocurrency transactions are reported to the CRA through the use of Form T1135, which is used to report foreign property holdings. Cryptocurrencies are considered foreign property for tax purposes. Individuals and businesses must complete this form if the total cost of their cryptocurrency holdings exceeds $100,000 CAD at any point during the year. The form requires detailed information about the types of cryptocurrencies held, the quantity, and the value in Canadian dollars. It's important to accurately complete this form to avoid penalties or audits from the CRA.
