  No, margin interest is not tax deductible for cryptocurrency investors. While margin interest may be deductible for traditional investments, the tax treatment for cryptocurrencies is still evolving. The IRS has not provided clear guidance on the deductibility of margin interest specifically for cryptocurrencies. It's advisable to consult with a tax professional for the most up-to-date information and guidance on this matter.
