  As a tax professional, I can tell you that the maximum loss you can claim on taxes for cryptocurrency investments is $3,000 per year. This limit applies to both individual and joint filers. However, if your losses exceed $3,000, you can carry forward the excess losses to future years and deduct them in those years. It's important to keep accurate records of your cryptocurrency transactions and consult with a tax advisor to ensure compliance with tax regulations.
