Crypto Losses Sweden 2026 – Offsetting & Optimization

If you sold crypto at a loss in Sweden, you can offset it against gains. Here's how to use losses strategically.

How Losses Work in Sweden

Capital losses offset capital gains in the same year. The net gain is then taxed at 30%.

Example:

• 2026 gains: €5,000
• 2026 losses: €8,000
• Net: €3,000 loss (no tax)

Year-by-Year Loss Management

In 2026, if you have:

• Gains from trading: €10,000
• Losses from other trades: €7,000
• Net gain: €3,000 × 30% = €900 tax

How to Track Losses

You must record:

1. Purchase date and cost (in SEK or EUR)
2. Sale date and proceeds
3. Difference = Loss

Cost Basis Methods

Sweden allows:

• FIFO (First-In-First-Out): Sell oldest batch first
• Average Cost: Use weighted average acquisition cost

Timing Losses in December

Realize losses before year-end to lock them in.

Example: December 2026 - if you have unrealized losses, sell now to offset gains.

Strategies for 2026

Action: If you have losses, use them before year-end. Every €1,000 in losses saves you €300 in taxes.
