Tax Treatment in Switzerland

For private individual investors, capital gains from the sale of cryptocurrency are tax-free in Switzerland, as crypto assets are treated as private movable property (like stocks and bonds). However, cryptocurrency holdings must be declared as part of taxable wealth for cantonal wealth tax purposes, valued at their market price on December 31 of the tax year. The Swiss Federal Tax Administration publishes an annual list of cryptocurrency valuations for tax declaration purposes. Income received in cryptocurrency (such as salary, mining income, staking rewards for professional operators, or airdrops) is subject to income tax based on the fair market value at the time of receipt.
