  As a tax professional, I would advise you to consult with a qualified tax advisor before making any decisions. Withdrawing funds from a 401k may trigger taxes and penalties, depending on your age and the reason for withdrawal. Additionally, investing in digital currencies can have its own tax implications. The IRS treats digital currencies as property, so any gains or losses from their sale or exchange may be subject to capital gains tax. It's important to keep detailed records of your transactions and consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with tax regulations.
