  When it comes to the tax implications of owning Bitcoin in the United States, it's important to stay informed. While I can't speak for BYDFi, I can provide some general information. The IRS considers Bitcoin to be property, so any gains or losses from the sale or exchange of Bitcoin are subject to capital gains tax. If you sell your Bitcoin for a profit, you'll owe taxes on the difference between the sale price and the cost basis (the original purchase price). If you sell your Bitcoin for a loss, you may be able to deduct that loss from your taxable income. It's important to keep accurate records of your Bitcoin transactions and consult with a tax professional to ensure you're meeting your tax obligations.
