Tax counsel for digital asset businesses.

Staking and DeFi income characterization, token issuance, exchange and broker reporting, and the planning that has to happen before the regulator does. The rules here are still being written, which means the defensible position today is the one documented before there is a controversy.

Start with your situation

Staking and DeFi income characterization

When and how staking rewards and DeFi yield become income is unsettled and consequential. The characterization you take should be deliberate and documented, not a default your software picked.

Token issuance

Issuing a token has tax consequences at issuance and after, and they depend on the design of the token and the offering. The planning belongs before launch.

Exchange and broker reporting

Reporting obligations for exchanges and brokers are expanding. Getting the systems and positions right ahead of enforcement is far cheaper than fixing them under examination.

Planning before the regulator moves

In a space where rules are still forming, the value of counsel is positioning you defensibly now, so that when the rule arrives you are already on the right side of it.

Have one of these situations right now?

If there's a notice with a deadline on it, that deadline is what matters most. Tell me what's going on.
