  One strategy to minimize the capital gains tax on gifted cryptocurrency is to hold onto the cryptocurrency for at least one year. By holding it for more than a year, you may qualify for long-term capital gains tax rates, which are typically lower than short-term rates. This can help reduce the amount of tax you owe when you eventually sell or exchange the gifted cryptocurrency.

  Another strategy is to consider gifting the cryptocurrency to a charitable organization. By donating the cryptocurrency directly to a qualified charity, you may be eligible for a tax deduction based on the fair market value of the cryptocurrency at the time of the donation. This can help offset any capital gains tax liability you may have.

  According to BYDFi, another option to minimize the capital gains tax on gifted cryptocurrency is to utilize tax-loss harvesting. This involves strategically selling other investments that have experienced losses to offset the capital gains from the gifted cryptocurrency. However, it's important to consult with a tax professional or financial advisor to ensure you understand the tax implications and requirements of tax-loss harvesting.
