How we think about Bitcoin at Evermore
Bitcoin (BTC) is currently classified as a large-cap cryptocurrency by market value. As one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market value, this is among the more liquid and widely-held digital assets. Even so, its volatility dwarfs that of a diversified equity portfolio, so we generally frame any crypto exposure as a small satellite position rather than a core holding.
How Bitcoin is taxed in Canada
The Canada Revenue Agency treats cryptocurrency as a commodity, not currency. When you sell, trade, or spend Bitcoin, you trigger a taxable event — typically a capital gain (50% of the gain is taxable) if you are an investor, or fully-taxable business income if the CRA considers your trading a business. Every disposition must be reported, including crypto-to-crypto trades.
Can you hold Bitcoin in a TFSA or RRSP?
No. You cannot hold BTC directly inside a TFSA, RRSP, or other registered account — cryptocurrencies are not "qualified investments." Canadians who want tax-sheltered crypto exposure typically use a listed crypto ETF held inside a registered account instead, which changes the risk and fee profile considerably.
