I’ve got a few other US stocks (non-crypto) in my ISA - non-dividend paying - will have a look. Had to sign that form but IF it’s dividend related only then happy days.

It’s certainly not very clear - but @Hexam if you’ve not had any deductions on your withdrawn sells of US miners via UK ISA then good stuff.

“If you want to buy US shares the US government will charge you a tax on any income you earn from these shares as you are not a US resident”

And yes this still included via an ISA. You can complete the W-8BEN form via your ISA provider to reduce WHT to 15%

Essentially the US govt don’t care less if you have a tax free account in UK, you still have to pay the tax at their end.

You pay tax on any profits made as the US charges WHT which is usually 30% but reduced to 15% for UK providing the form has been completed. That’s even in an ISA.

Yeah 0% capital gains tax but 15% witholding tax.

Can’t escape the tax at source (US) unfortunately.. unless some dodgy user cares to enlighten lol

Which is why I hold ARB in my ISA.

I’m not in the ‘one or the other’ camp. I hold both Argo (higher risk) and MARA (lower risk).

Yes but for UK residents buying US stocks it’s only 15% WHT (Witholding Tax) instead id the usual 30%.

Don’t completely trust T212 to invest heavily in an ISA with them)

Have got a good bunch of MARA but want them in Aprils S&S ISA ;-)

Cheers - I already have a normal s&s account with T212

Just deciding between Interactive Investor or HL or AJ Bell for the next S&S ISA to get MARA.. looking like II as they have much lower fees

To those who are holding MARA in their ISA which stockbroker are you using?

I’m currently holding ARB in my Barclays Smartinvestor S&S ISA but they don’t have MARA (for anyone wanting ARB - I can recommend Barclays Smartinvestor - cheap fees).

Have seen Hargreaves Lansdown do have MARA but HL are quite expensive for the account & stock buys.

Who do you use?

Taken some off the table, 10%. Leaving rest to run and if there's another pump will do the same.

Been a long term holder of Polygon (Matic) - expecting a 3x this bull run from current price $1. Not mind blowing but it’s a solid well established L2 which can be staked and isn’t going anywhere any time soon (unlike the moonboy memecoins)

Bitcoin recovering from last nights mini correction, will certainly help the SP here.

Close to break even now... never thought i'd see the day lol

Remember everyone, UK CGT allowance is decreasing from £6K to £3K in April.

Hopefully everyone has got their ARB shares in a a tax-free S&S ISA but for those people (inc. myself) holding US-miners that aren't listed via your ISA, such as MARA, it's certainly something to be aware of.

The toughest part during a bull run is when to sell but at least the CGT allowance halving in April makes that decision easier and it ties in perfectly with the Bitcoin halving date. Plan is to sell the full allowance worth and leave the rest to run after the BTC halving.

Good luck all, exciting times ahead, Merry Christmas!

ARBK currently $3.30

Shame the LSE closed at 12.30 - 27p inbound for ARB next week.

Way more risk for a miner to sell their BTC and move into an Alt-Coin. Not sensible, especially 100%. Perhaps diversification of 5-10% would be an option, but no more than that.

It ultimately comes down to who is holding the most BTC. Which is MARA by a country mile.

Argo HODL is 31 BTC *equivalents*

MARA HODL is 14,000+

Best way to look at this is who will last longer in the next crypto winter? Exactly.

Whilst Argo could be a short term play between now and April halving, MARA is the much more sensible choice of Bitcoin miner to purchase and hold.

FWIW I hold both ARB and MARA.

Yep nice to see and let’s all hope this incremental growth keeps going leading up to the halving. I genuinely hope everyone is able to get their investment back - or at least a larger chunk of it

Approx 30p is my break even and I’ll be selling at least half. Hope it gets to that before April.

Fair enough I'll correct my wording too, the *majority of Alts are linked to Bitcoin price/sentiment.

Well i'll likely be top slicing my MARA holding just before the halving and leave the rest to run for a free ride.

I still have a chunk of crypto from the last Bull run and this time round the focus is on crypto-related stocks I can put in my S&S ISA for tax-free gains. With Capital Gains Tax allowance being further reduced from the current measly £6K down to the pathetic £3K in April, and gains on crypto being taxable, it makes more sense going that route - especially as that allowance will mostly be used up on my MARA holding.
