“Bitcoin as Everyday Money” Event to Rally Industry Behind De Minimis Tax Framework at Bitcoin 2026

A policy-focused event, “Bitcoin as Everyday Money,” will convene industry leaders at Bitcoin 2026 on April 28, 2026 to push Congress for a de minimis tax exemption that would ease everyday Bitcoin payments. The coalition (Block, Bitcoin Policy Institute, MoonPay, River, others) proposes a three‑pillar framework: cash‑like treatment for compliant payment stablecoins, de minimis relief for “qualifying network digital assets” on chains with a six‑month average market cap above $25 billion (designed to include Bitcoin), and value‑based thresholds of $600 per transaction and $20,000 per year. If enacted, the reforms could materially reduce tax compliance frictions, boost on‑chain spending and merchant acceptance, and therefore be bullish for Bitcoin adoption and transaction activity.
