How Do You Calculate Zakat on Bitcoin, Ethereum and Other Coins?

The key principle is valuation.

You calculate the total worth of your crypto on your Zakat anniversary date, not what you originally paid for it.

A practical approach usually involves:

Reviewing every wallet and exchange account you control.

Checking the market price of each coin on your Zakat date.

Calculating the total value in your local currency.

Combining that figure with your other eligible assets.

Deducting any outstanding short-term debts.

If the final amount exceeds the nisab, 2.5% is due.
