How is cryptocurrency taxed in Norway?

In Norway, cryptocurrency gains are taxed as capital gains.

“Virtual currency, such as bitcoin, is considered an asset for tax purposes. You must pay wealth tax on the value of your virtual currency and tax on any gains you make when you sell or exchange it.”

This reflects guidance from Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten), as of 2024-01-01.
