Zakat and purification

Do I have to pay zakat on my crypto?

Answered by the ShariaQuant team

Yes, if your total zakatable wealth sits above the nisab for a full lunar year. Crypto held as an investment is treated as a tradeable asset, which means the whole market value counts, not just the profit.

This is Shariah screening and education, not financial advice. Rulings on newer products differ between scholars, so where a question is disputed we say so rather than pick a side for you. If your situation is unusual, ask your own scholar.
