  The categorization of stocks related to cryptocurrency investments by the IRS is based on several factors. These factors include the holding period, the intention behind the investment, and the nature of the investment. The IRS classifies stocks as either short-term or long-term capital assets. Short-term assets are those held for less than a year, while long-term assets are held for more than a year. The categorization can have an impact on the tax treatment of the stocks. It's important to note that the IRS guidelines may change over time, so it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional or refer to the latest IRS publications for the most up-to-date information on how stocks related to cryptocurrency investments are categorized.
