The price of Bitcoin and other similar crypto assets can fluctuate wildly, and, whilst at the time of writing, the Bitcoin value has increased by some 75% since January 1st, the current price is some 28% below its all-time high. If you bought when prices were low, and have since sold them again realising a profit, you need to be aware that the taxman will need to know. Generally, HMRC treat profits as a capital gain, and are taxed under the CGT rules, but there may be specific circumstances where it might be treated differently.
