Let me put it all together now.End of Thought (17.50s)
Oh, the IRS is finally giving crypto giants a break! 🎉 After years of making them sweat, they’re easing up on that 15% tax for paper profits. Who knew the government could be so… generous? 😂
But wait-MicroStrategy and Coinbase weren’t happy! They’re like, “Hey, we’re not getting taxed on our stocks’ paper gains, why crypto? 🤔” The IRS, ever the good listener, is now changing its mind. 🤷♀️
IRS Eases Corporate Crypto Tax Burden
The Treasury Department and IRS released some “interim guidance”-which basically means they’re trying to fix their own mess. 🧠
Meanwhile, the US Senate Finance Committee is still trying to figure out how to tax crypto. Mike Crapo’s like, “We need clarity!” 🤯
“Currently, our tax code does not provide straightforward answers for many digital asset transactions, whether someone is buying a cup of coffee, donating to charity, investing, lending, mining or staking,” Crapo said, adding, “lingering tax uncertainty also makes the US a less attractive place to do business and invest, and hurts tax compliance.”
This confusion has been so bad, it’s like trying to navigate a crypto exchange without a map. 🧭
The Unrealized Gains Tax Trap
CAMT is this 15% tax from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, targeting the biggest corporations. Because nothing says “we’re serious” like taxing companies on their imaginary profits. 😂
Saylor says, “Phew! No more tax on my Bitcoin gains! 🚀” But wait, isn’t that just the same as stocks? 🤔
“As a result of Treasury and IRS interim guidance issued yesterday, Strategy does not expect to be subject to the Corporate Alternate Minimum Tax (CAMT) due to unrealized gains on its bitcoin holdings. $MSTR
– Michael Saylor (@saylor) October 1, 2025
In December 2023, the IRS made things even more confusing by forcing companies to value crypto at fair value. Because who doesn’t want to stress over their Bitcoin’s price? 💸
Before this guidance, companies had to count their crypto gains as real income-even if they hadn’t sold it. Like getting taxed for a raise you didn’t actually get. 🤯
Now, crypto is finally treated like regular income. Or at least, as close as the IRS can get. 🙃
Lobbying and Congressional Allies Secure Tax Relief
The companies didn’t take it lying down. They sent a formal letter to the IRS, saying, “We’re not paying tax on profits we haven’t made! 🤬”
They warned that CAMT could hit them with a massive tax bill in 2026. Because nothing says “we’re worried” like a future tax nightmare. 😱
Even Republican senators, like Cynthia Lummis, are on board. They’re like, “Taxing paper profits? That’s not how we do it here!” 🤷♂️
