Turkish residents can establish a Wyoming LLC to hold digital assets and hedge against local currency fluctuations. This structure provides a legal entity for international operations while maintaining pass-through tax treatment for non-US source income.

The process involves state-level registration, obtaining an EIN from the IRS, and establishing a business banking relationship. Compliance with both US reporting requirements and evolving Turkish crypto tax regulations is mandatory.

What the tax authority sees

US federal / local status

Wyoming LLCs are treated as pass-through entities for federal tax purposes, meaning non-US owners pay US federal income tax only on income effectively connected with a US trade or business (ETBUS).

Home-country rule

Editorial verdict

Use the Wyoming LLC as a holding structure for crypto assets to hedge against TRY volatility, but ensure you maintain strict separation from personal assets to preserve liability protection.

Key compliance risks
  • 01Form 5472 and 5476 filing required for foreign-owned LLCs; $25,000 penalty for non-compliance.
  • 02Türkiye's 2025 crypto tax draft may require disclosure of foreign-held digital assets.
  • 03Potential for double taxation if Türkiye does not recognize US LLC pass-through status.
