Ex-Twitter X ex-co-founder, Jack Dorsey recently Tweeted (X’d) his support for tax exemptions (taxemptions, if you will) on small crypto transactions (crynsactions, if you will) as he launches his new bitcoin payment wallet.
“We need a de minimis tax exemption for everyday bitcoin transactions,” he said, quote-tweeting his X announcing the launch of his own Bitcoin wallet, ‘Square’ from his company ‘Block’. …Yeah, that’s not confusing at all.
So it would be in Jack’s interests if the government dropped the tax on crypto transactions. The IRS currently defines crypto as property, meaning that even small purchases can trigger a tax, significantly lowering the speed of transactions and being a big roadblock to its mainstream adoption.
There’s some hope this wish might come true as under Jack’s TweX, Senator Cynthia Lummis replied, “Working on it.”
Back in July, Lummis previously tried to push this agenda through with Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill” (who names these things? Oh yeah…) but failed to get the amendments onto the Senate floor.
Additionally, just before the government shut down, the Senate Finance Committee had a hearing to discuss just this matter, saying that the Tax Code “does not provide straightforward answers for many digital asset transactions.”
“Taxpayers are left with many unanswered questions, and individuals, businesses, and our country’s finances bear that burden.” Which “makes the U.S. a less attractive place to do business and invest and hurts tax compliance.”
For an administration that bills itself as ‘the crypto government,’ this is one small step that they’ve yet to take. But who knows, maybe this will be a change in the near future and might be one step towards widespread adoption of the currency.
Until then, I’m sticking with my pesos. Sweet, sweet pesos…
