The IRS classifies cryptocurrencies as property, so cryptocurrency donations to 501(c)3 charities receive the same tax treatment as stocks.
Donating cryptocurrency to 501(c)(3) charities is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes.

Please consult with your tax or financial planner to determine your tax benefits.
