Good day, fellow finance enthusiasts. I've been wondering lately about the tax implications of Bitcoin mining rewards. As the popularity of cryptocurrencies continues to rise, so does the question of whether or not the proceeds from mining activities, such as Bitcoin, are subject to taxation. Could you elaborate on the taxability of Bitcoin mining rewards? Do these rewards fall under capital gains, income, or some other category? Are there any specific tax regulations or laws that govern the taxation of cryptocurrency mining rewards? I'd appreciate your insights on this matter.

When engaging in mining activities, individuals must recognize the Fair Market Value (in USD) of the mining rewards they receive at the time of acquisition.

This Fair Market Value serves as the taxable amount that needs to be reported in one's US Individual Income Tax Return (Form 1040).
