Bitcoin and RESICO in Mexico: What Every Bitcoiner Needs to Know in 2026
Mexico has no special tax rate for Bitcoin. RESICO's ultra-low 1-2.5% brackets attract traders, but the regime taxes gross income, not profit. For investors, gains fall under ordinary ISR rules and can reach 35%. This guide breaks down what actually applies, what's unsettled, and what could cost you.
Communicating with Tax Advisors About Bitcoin Investments
Effective communication with tax advisors about bitcoin investments requires conveying five core concepts: (1) classification as an intangible asset subject to the property-disposal (enajenación de bienes) regime, (2) application of income tax (ISR) only—no VAT on the asset itself, (3) treatment of crypto-to-crypto swaps as taxable disposals, (4) the taxpayer's direct responsibility for calculating and paying ISR, and (5) the importance of complete documentation.
How Does Verification Work on Aureo?
To buy or sell bitcoin on Aureo, you need to verify your identity. Verification is structured in three tiers, each unlocking higher transaction limits. Tier 1 is required to get started and takes around five minutes. Tiers 2 and 3 are optional and only necessary if you need higher volume.
How Do I Set Up a Bitcoin Wallet?

How Long Does My Bitcoin Purchase Take?

Bitcoin Investment Allocation Framework
There is no universally “correct” percentage. An appropriate Bitcoin allocation depends on four variables: (1) your financial baseline, (2) your true risk tolerance, (3) your time horizon, and (4) your existing portfolio composition. A prudent framework starts with two rules: stability first (emergency fund and high-interest debt under control), investment second; and size the position so you can hold through severe drawdowns without impacting your life.
Evaluating Bitcoin Custody Solutions in Mexico
Choosing a Bitcoin wallet should be driven by objective criteria: custody model (who controls the keys), security posture, usability, and the amount you’re protecting.
