What is Bitstamp?
Bitstamp is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange where users buy, sell, deposit, withdraw, and trade crypto against fiat currencies such as USD, EUR, and GBP. Launched in 2011, it is one of the longest-running crypto exchanges, with access through its web platform, mobile app, and trading APIs. If Bitstamp is part of your crypto activity, you may need to include those transactions in your tax reporting, and this guide explains how to do that with Coinpanda.

You will therefore see fewer transactions imported into your Coinpanda account compared to other similar tax platforms.

Typically, exchanges don't provide finalized tax documents for their customers, and Bitstamp is no exception. It's hard for an exchange to build tax logic that serves customers across many jurisdictions. Hence, it's more practical for a customer to use a tax platform like Coinpanda.
How are Bitstamp transactions taxed?
The exact tax implications on Bitstamp transactions depend on which country you live in and the type of transactions you have made. In general, you must pay either capital gains tax or income tax on your cryptocurrency transactions on Bitstamp.
Capital gains tax: Whenever you sell a cryptocurrency for more than you purchased it for, you generate a capital gain. On the other hand, if you sell the cryptocurrency for less than you paid initially, you have a capital loss, which can, in most cases, offset other gains.
Income tax: Earned cryptocurrency on Bitstamp, such as staking, interest, bonuses, and referral rewards, is typically treated as taxable income and must be reported on your tax return.

How to file your Bitstamp taxes
First, you must calculate capital gains and income from all taxable transactions on Bitstamp. When you have this information ready, you can report capital gains and income together with other forms of income, such as employment and dividends, in your annual tax return.
To calculate your capital gains, you must first export a complete history of all transactions made on Bitstamp. Once you have this data, you can calculate your capital gains or losses by determining the price at which you bought the cryptocurrency (your cost basis) and the price at which you sold it (your proceeds). Luckily, Coinpanda can help you with this and generate ready-to-file tax forms quickly and easily.
After downloading your Bitstamp tax statements from Coinpanda, the last step is to report the capital gains and income on your tax return before the deadline. Most countries allow you to self-declare taxes online in 2026, but you can also get help from a professional tax accountant to file taxes for you.
