Can I use money I made from investing in Bitcoin to apply for a green card through the EB5 program?

Answer

Yes, profits earned from investing in cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, is generally permissible to use for an EB5 investment. So long as we can demonstrate the funds used to purchase the cryptocurrency was lawfully earned, and that all laws (including tax laws) have been complied with in relation to the purchase and sale of the crypto, using profits from cryptocurrency for EB5 is normally not an issue.
