With the recent Bittrex shutdown, this guide aims to be a valuable resource for those that have traded crypto on Bittrex and are wondering if and how one should pay taxes on their historical transactions.
Introduction to Bittrex
Bittrex was established in 2014 and is headquartered in Seattle. The exchange initially offered only crypto-for-crypto transactions, but recently expanded to add fiat-for-crypto transactions. On the 5th December 2023, Bittrex Global closed down its operations. Customers can still withdraw their funds and download their transaction history via CSV files.
Do I need to pay crypto taxes after Bittrex shutdown?
Yes, even though Bittrex shutdown you are still required to declare and pay taxes on your crypto transactions. On Bittrex you can perform deposits, withdrawals, and trades between different cryptocurrencies. These transactions can have tax consequences depending on the country you pay taxes in.
As Bittrex does not provide tax reports for their customers, you will be responsible to assemble and calculate your Bittrex taxes. This can be done using excel, a tax lawyer, or a tax calculator like Divly.
How to export your Bittrex transaction history
After closure, Bittrex allows you to export your transaction history by downloading two CSV files.
| Transaction type | File Import | Automatic Import |
|---|---|---|
| Withdrawals | ||
| Deposits | ||
| Trades | ||
| Trading Fees |
Automatic import
The API has been discontinued due to Bittrex shutting it down after ceasing trading on December 5, 2023. Please use the File Import instead.

In the sidebar click the blue Download CSV button under both Order History and Transaction History. The CSV files will download.
