Get your taxes done using TurboTax

That sounds correct.  Your debit card sold a small portion of cryptocurrency each time that you made a purchase.  

 

That small portion of cryptocurrency is considered a sale of a capital asset and subject to capital gain or loss.

 

For example, you bought crypto A for $100 and crypto A appreciated to $150.  If you used crypto A to make a $150 personal purchase with the debit card, you will report a $50 gain on disposal of the unit of crypto A.
