If you happen to held your Bitcoins for a year or much less, however, your charitable deduction is simply equal to the price of Bitcoins to you, or their current value, whichever is much less. (You'll be able to, however, use this deduction to offset as much as 50% of your earnings.) Equally, if you are donating Bitcoins you received as compensation or payment, you possibly can solely deduct you price basis, or the Bitcoins' fair market value, whichever is less. On this case, cost basis is the fair market worth on the time you acquired the Bitcoins as cost or compensation. So your deduction will just be the lesser of current FMV or the market value of the Bitcoins when you bought them.
