Sheltering ICO Gain

Disclaimer 

[To Come]

For example, if the company described above took $35 mm in the first year and invested it in a a qualifying equipment lease, it might have results along the line of a net $5 mm tax loss in year 1, ~$6.5 mm loss in year 2, ~$4.5 mm in year 3, followed by $21 mm of income in year 4.  A transaction like this effectively shifts $21 mm of loss into years where a refund can be claimed ($8.4 mm worth), and the money has to be invested somewhere.  (Yes, of course, leases are higher risk than Treasury Notes, but maybe that risk is manageable.)

Should I sell my Tokens and realize a loss before year end?

Disclaimer     I have now been asked almost a dozen times about the "Wash Sale Rules" and whether token holders should sell and repurchase tokens before year end. The Wash Sale rules (IRC Section 1091) provide that if you sell a security at a loss and repurchase a substantially identical security within 30 days, your loss will be disallowed (and added to your tax basis in the purchased security). People have been hearing that the Wash Sale rule doesn't apply to tokens because the IRS has not designated tokens as securities.  (Remember that the characterization of tokens as securities by the SEC or as something else by the CFTC is not relevant for tax law purposes.  Tokens may be securities for some purposes and not for others.) If that's true, you could sell your BTC today and buy back BTC an hour later and trigger a loss that you can use to offset capital gain (or up to $3,000 of ordinary income) from some other source. That's a very reasonable argument

Should we replace the SAFT with a DEFT?

Disclaimer  In the last year, many pre-sales of tokens have been structured as "SAFTs" ("Simple Agreement for Future Tokens"), partly because it's hard to sell a token that doesn't exist yet and partly because SAFTs were seen as a pathway through securities laws and other issues. More recently, I've been hearing about the death of SAFTs.  The word "future" in the title implicates CFTC rules (with a potential related significant increase in the required net worth of purchasers), and the promise to issue tokens that don't currently exist make it questionable whether a SAFT is "property" for tax purposes, which is a prerequisite for an "83(b) election". It's also not possible to use a SAFT to make an acquisition of another company or assets without having the seller be taxed on the value of the SAFT on the date of issuance regardless of when the tokens ultimately are issued -- i.e. when the SAFT recipient can'

1. So you want to do an ICO

Disclaimer The number of token offerings through ICOs or otherwise that have crossed my desk in the last 12 months has exploded.  Many of those transactions have been put together with such speed that corporate structure and tax treatment are an afterthought with expensive consequences.  Even now, most of the focus seems to be on the securities law treatment of Tokens.  The following is a brief outline of some issues that are worth considering -- primarily in order to avoid adverse tax issues for founders, issuers and investors.  Following posts will discuss different structures mentioned below in greater detail. Before we get to actual structures, however, it's important to understand what kinds of adverse things can happen to you.  Many people think that selling Tokens should be taxed the same way as a stock sale is taxed -- but there is a specific Internal Revenue Code section that provides stock sales are tax free -- and it doesn't apply to Token sales. TAXATION OF TO
