Sell crypto at a loss and rebuy the same asset immediately — wash sale doesn't apply.
IRC §1091 wash-sale rule applies to 'stocks and securities' — crypto is currently treated as property, NOT a security, so you can sell BTC at a loss and rebuy it 60 seconds later, keeping your economic exposure while banking a capital loss. Offset unlimited capital gains + $3K/yr ordinary income. Congress has repeatedly proposed closing this loophole — use it while it's open.
