  Purchasing cryptocurrencies with VOO stock can have tax implications. The IRS treats cryptocurrencies as property, which means that any gains or losses from cryptocurrency transactions are subject to capital gains tax. If you sell your VOO stock to buy cryptocurrencies and later sell those cryptocurrencies at a profit, you'll be liable for capital gains tax on the gains. It's important to keep track of the purchase price of your VOO stock and the cryptocurrencies you acquire, as this will determine the taxable gain or loss. Remember to report these transactions accurately on your tax return to avoid any potential issues with the IRS.
