Study: Less Than 1% of Global Crypto Investors Paid Taxes in 2025

A new research report conducted by Sweden-based tech company Divly has found that only 0.53% of investors declared and paid crypto tax in 2025 globally. Specifically, a study from Divly has shown that less than 1% of crypto investors paid taxes on their crypto in 2025. The analysis revealed that nearly 95.5% of global cryptocurrency traders had not paid their taxes in 2025.

A study published on Wednesday by the Swedish tech company Divly has revealed that the overwhelming majority of crypto owners worldwide are not paying taxes on their digital asset holdings. Moreover, the study is seeking to take a look at the factors contributing to this widespread non-compliance.

Divly believes the numbers could improve once clearer regulatory frameworks are established worldwide and as tax authorities provide more guidance and tools for crypto users to accurately report their gains and losses. This lack of clarity and accessibility is potentially contributing to the low tax compliance rates observed in the study. Further investigation is needed to understand the reasons behind this concerning trend.
