  Buying crypto with your IRA can have tax implications. The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, so any gains or losses from selling or exchanging crypto are subject to capital gains tax. The tax rate depends on how long you hold the crypto. If you hold it for less than a year, it's considered short-term capital gains, which are taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. If you hold it for more than a year, it's considered long-term capital gains, which are taxed at a lower rate. Keep in mind that tax laws can change, so it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional for the most up-to-date information.
