Another reason to practice “self-custody” of your crypto (or “digital assets” as the IRS calls it)...reasons listed at the links below (unless you like paying Cap Gains taxes!). Keep away from “KYC” exchanges like CoinBase or Kraken and keep personal control of your private keys.

The first “1009-DA” forms go out in January 2026 covering 2025 transactions. See:

Use a decentralized exchange or a decentralized buying/selling service like “Bisq” for privacy. Something like the “Wasabi Wallet” for “Coinjoin”/”Whirlpool mixing” of BTC to obfuscate the UTXO’s of your previously purchased non-private/KYC exchange purchased Bitcoin.
