  Yes, you can claim a tax deduction for donating cryptocurrency as a gift. The IRS treats cryptocurrency donations similarly to donations of stocks or other property. If you donate cryptocurrency to a qualified charitable organization, you may be eligible to deduct the fair market value of the donated cryptocurrency on your tax return. However, it's important to note that you must itemize your deductions in order to claim the tax deduction.

Just make sure to keep proper documentation of the donation, including the date, the value of the cryptocurrency at the time of the donation, and the name of the organization you donated to.
