So, the U.S. government is finally catching up with the 21st century, or at least the part where people use crypto to buy their morning coffee. The new bill proposes a tax exemption for small crypto purchases under $300. That means buying your avocado toast 🍞 or a bag of organic kale won’t trigger a taxable event, as long as your total tax-free gains stay below $5,000 annually. And get this, the threshold will adjust for inflation starting in 2026, because who doesn’t love a little inflation with their crypto? 📈
The legislation also gets practical with a new tax schedule for crypto miners and stakers. Instead of being taxed the moment they receive new tokens, they’ll only pay up when they actually sell the assets. This helps avoid those pesky bills on income that’s still just a twinkle in the blockchain’s eye. 🌟
And for those of you who like to lend or donate your digital assets, there’s good news too. Loans of digital assets won’t be treated as taxable disposals anymore, and if you’re feeling charitable, you won’t need to get an expensive appraisal to give your tokens to a good cause. Because, let’s be real, who has time for that? 🙄
Congresswoman Lummis is all about this, arguing that the proposal could generate $600 million in revenue over a decade. But she’s not just in it for the money; she wants to keep crypto innovation right here in the U.S. of A. Even though the bill didn’t make it into Trump’s spending package, she’s still hopeful it can pass on its own. And she’s calling on the public to weigh in during the comment period. So, go ahead, make your voice heard—because if we don’t, who will? 🗣️
