  As a tax professional, I can tell you that receiving RSU at a private company in cryptocurrency can have tax implications. When you receive RSU, it is considered as compensation and is subject to ordinary income tax. The value of the RSU in cryptocurrency will be determined based on the fair market value at the time of vesting. You will need to report this as income on your tax return and pay taxes accordingly. It's important to keep track of the fair market value of the cryptocurrency at the time of vesting to accurately report your income.
