  Yes, the value of cryptocurrency received through airdrops is generally taxable. In most countries, including the United States, cryptocurrency is treated as property for tax purposes. This means that any increase in value of the cryptocurrency is subject to capital gains tax when it is sold or exchanged. Airdrops are considered a form of income, and the fair market value of the cryptocurrency received at the time of the airdrop is included in your taxable income. It's important to keep track of the value of the cryptocurrency received and report it accurately on your tax return.
