However, the amount you can deduct depends on various factors such as your tax bracket, the type of losses (short-term or long-term), and any limitations imposed by tax laws.

  If you are an individual taxpayer in the United States, you can deduct cryptocurrency losses up to a maximum of $3,000 per year against your other income. Any losses beyond that can be carried forward to future years. Keep in mind that the IRS treats cryptocurrency as property for tax purposes, so the rules for deducting losses on cryptocurrency are similar to those for other types of investments.
