Your problem is with most jurisdictions is the bank. You can set up anywhere and transfer the assets as capital contribution.
If you declare the share capital contribution with the tax authorities, then you can make tax-exempt distributions to the extent of paid-in capital in the future.khinkali said:
@Don I know that Estonian AIF's can make and issue profits tax free, but would the example in your post avoid being taxed 20% on distribution?

You are still liable for tax from the jurisdiction from which you left which is what he said he wants to avoid.Don said:

And the auditor it has to be like Deloitte or Accenture etc?Don said:

You will need to:
1) provide a contract for the transfer of the cryptocurrency to the company;
2) prove the sufficiency of the value of cryptocurrency for share capital by providing a screenshot of the daily exchange rate of the currency from a trusted cryptocurrency exchange website. In case the value of the share capital is above EUR 25,000 the value of the contribution must also be verified by an auditor. The auditor's report concerning the verification of the valuation of the crypto shall then be provided to the notary at the time of incorporation.

which banks are considered crypto friendly in Germany?neweraoffshore said:
Not being asked for source of funds is unrealistic if the amount is high.
Estonia, Switzerland and Germany have very crypto friendly and reputable banks which ask almost no questions, so if you know the offshore rules and how to move money you can incorporate in one of these countries and then shift profits to other low tax jurisdictions to pay out. They accept source of funds if it comes from a crypto enabled substance company in a reputable jurisdiction.

So when you transferring your crypto (BTC) to newly formed Estonian company you basically sending it from one BTC wallet to another one? I assume you don't exit to FIAT right? How I will proof to the auditor that the company is the owner of that other BTC wallet?Don said:

Better to use solution that doesn't require auditing,zaybxc said:
Isn't it concerning that many people (accountants, auditors, etc.) will know your crypto wallet address?
On a blockchain explorer they can check the balance of your wallet: if you have crypto worth a couple of millions it would be frightening to know that somebody knows it and also knows where you live...
Any recommendation to manage such a situation?

Reading on this forum I understood that a crypto wallet has to be created for the company: who will know the wallet's address? Will the address be reported on some document?Don said:

And make payment from a dedicated wallet.
For asset protection move the crypto to a trust that only you control. This way you can even structure your crypto as non reportable and open a wallet for the trust on major exchanges.

You will need to think a bit outside the box. Of course, you don't use a wallet where, for example, there are 5 million euros if you're going to establish a company, for example, in Switzerland where it requires that you have 100K euros (or actually only 50K), then obviously you create a wallet for just that amount and set up the company.zaybxc said:
