About this listen

 This episode explores the strategic advantages of classifying cryptocurrency activities as a trade or business to unlock valuable tax deductions for equipment, energy costs, and professional services. - How does the host distinguish between a crypto hobby and a professional trade or business for tax purposes? - Can mining hardware be fully expensed in a single year using Section 179? - What specific documentation is required to successfully deduct electricity costs for a mining operation? - Are blockchain gas fees treated as immediate business expenses or capitalized costs? - How does the Section 199A Qualified Business Income deduction apply to digital asset enterprises in 2026? - Which professional service fees are deductible when managing a high-net-worth crypto portfolio? Digital Asset Planning is hosted by Ran Chen, EA, CFP®. He is a seasoned financial professional specializing in complex cases for high-net-worth individuals and families with international backgrounds. Unlike standard crypto commentary, this podcast focuses on the intersection of digital assets and real-world financial planning—including tax strategy, estate and legacy planning, cross-border jurisdictional issues, and risk management.
