Sell or borrow in Wyoming: the tax math
In a no-income-tax state like Wyoming, selling Bitcoin still owes federal capital gains tax, so borrowing against it is about deferring that federal bill and keeping your Bitcoin, not avoiding a state tax.
Wyoming levies no state personal income tax, a prohibition in the state constitution, and does not tax capital gains, so selling Bitcoin in Wyoming triggers only federal capital gains tax with no state tax on the gain.
Important: not tax or legal advice
The tax and regulatory information on this page is general information, not tax, legal, or investment advice, and the rates shown are illustrative top-of-schedule figures, not a calculation of what you personally would owe. borrowonbitcoin.com is published by Sypher Capital; we are a publisher and affiliate referral source, not a lender, broker, registered investment advisor, tax preparer, or law firm. The state and federal figures here are compiled from public sources, including IRS Revenue Procedures, state departments of revenue and taxation, state statutes, and the Tax Foundation, and are current only as of the tax year shown; the sources are linked at the foot of this page. Tax and licensing law change, sometimes mid-year, and how any of it applies to you depends on your income, filing status, residency, cost basis, holding period, local taxes, and other facts this page does not capture, so your actual result can differ materially. The tax treatment of Bitcoin-backed loans is itself unsettled and still developing. Borrowing against Bitcoin carries its own risks, including forced liquidation of your collateral. Lender availability and a state's rules can both change; confirm current eligibility with the lender, and confirm your own tax situation with a CPA or qualified tax professional, before acting on anything here.
