Micronesia cryptocurrency tax guide
The Federated States of Micronesia does not have specific legislation or guidance on cryptocurrency taxation. A second, independent secondary source reports the FSM has no personal income tax and no capital gains tax at all, under Title 54 of the FSM Code, which (if accurate) would mean crypto gains are untaxed for the same reason any gain is untaxed there -- not because of crypto-specific guidance. Business income from crypto activities could theoretically be subject to the general gross revenue tax, though this guide does not treat this as confirmed. A separate, unsourced claim that crypto would be taxed as property starting January 2026 is explicitly discounted as unreliable, since it directly contradicts both sources above and cites no legal basis.

What this guide covers
This guide summarizes the Federated States of Micronesia's crypto tax position for 2025. fsmgov.org wasn't directly fetched. This is educational information, not individualized tax advice.
Tax treatment of cryptocurrency
The FSM has no specific crypto tax legislation, and this guide discounts an unsourced promotional claim that a property-tax regime was starting in 2026. The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) doesn't have specific legislation or guidance on cryptocurrency taxation, per two independent secondary sources. One of those sources adds that the FSM has no personal income tax or capital gains tax at all, under Title 54 of the FSM Code -- if accurate, this would mean crypto gains are untaxed as a byproduct of the general tax system, not because of any crypto-specific rule. Any business income from crypto activities could theoretically be subject to the FSM's general gross revenue tax, though this guide doesn't treat this as independently confirmed, since it wasn't corroborated by official FSM guidance. A separate, promotional-sounding source (Beaumont Capital Markets) claims crypto will be taxed as property starting January 2026, but this guide explicitly discounts that claim as unreliable — it directly conflicts with both sources above, and cites no legal basis or official source for the specific property-tax characterization.

Limitations and review information
Tax year covered: 2025. Last verified: October 29, 2026 (citation-integrity pass; both sources now individually verified and read/summarized directly). Known gap: fsmgov.org wasn't directly fetched, and Title 54 of the FSM Code was not independently read; a conflicting, unsourced claim of a January 2026 property-tax treatment was found but explicitly discounted as unreliable. This is educational information only, not individualized tax advice — confirm current specifics directly with the Department of Finance and Administration or a qualified local tax adviser.

Blockspot.io · Checked 2026-10-29
Supports: That the FSM has no personal income tax and no capital gains tax generally, citing Title 54 of the FSM Code -- a more specific statutory citation than the other sources provide, though this guide does not independently confirm Title 54's actual text. Also confirms no crypto-specific tax guidance has been issued.
