CryptoTax Map

Who's behind this

Hi, I'm Alessandro Palombo. I hold a PhD in Public Law, I'm a licensed lawyer (currently not practicing), and I've spent years at the intersection of global regulation, digital assets, and citizenship planning.

I generated over 300 million impressions online in 18 months, organically. Combined with my academic background, direct experience investing over $1M in compliance for global ventures operating across 7 countries, and working with institutions and governments — I bring a unique perspective on the intersection of crypto, taxation, and global mobility.

Through Bitizenship.com I've helped raise over $25 million in cryptocurrency-based citizenship and residency investments — working directly with governments, law firms, and high-net-worth individuals navigating the complexities of cross-border crypto taxation and global mobility.

CryptoTax Map was born from the same obsession: making sense of the global crypto tax landscape so you don't have to read 168 different government websites.

Bitizenship

Acquire new citizenships with indirect Bitcoin exposure

Want to acquire a new citizenship or residency while maintaining exposure to Bitcoin? Bitizenship creates investment structures for citizenship-by-investment and residency-by-investment programs that allow you to keep indirect exposure to BTC throughout the process.

Instead of liquidating your crypto to fund a real estate purchase or government bond, Bitizenship structures the investment so your capital retains exposure to Bitcoin's performance — while still satisfying the legal requirements of the program.
