  Yes, you may be able to claim your digital currency losses on your taxes as stock losses. The IRS treats digital currencies as property, so the tax treatment for losses on digital currency investments is similar to that of stocks. You can report your losses on Schedule D of your tax return. However, it's important to keep accurate records of your transactions and consult with a tax professional to ensure you are following the proper reporting guidelines.
