Your penalty will not be reduced by your losses. It is a separate tax that is not associated with your taxable income. You would have to pay it even if you had no taxable income.
The loss on cryptocurrency is deductible against other investment gains and up to $3,000 of non-investment income, so it may help reduce the tax you pay on your pension distribution, but not the penalty.
