United States-based cryptocurrency exchange Kraken said it will share the data of 42,000 users with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in compliance with a court order. The information will be sent to the IRS in early November.

On its support page, Kraken specifies that the summons to produce “a wide range of records and data” on its U.S. clients and pass it to the IRS came in a court order from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in May 2021. The company objected to the IRS’s demands and fought the summons in court, convincing it to “substantially reduce” the number of clients affected and the amount of client data.
