An event at Bitcoin 2026 aims to unite the industry for a de minimis tax exemption for Bitcoin payments.

Summary

Bitcoin for Financial Services will host the "Bitcoin as Everyday Money" event on April 28, 2026, during Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas. The event, limited to 100 in-person attendees and streamed globally, aims to rally policymakers, industry leaders, and business owners to advocate for a Bitcoin de minimis tax exemption. Key speakers include Janessa Lopez of Block and David Zell of the Bitcoin Policy Institute, who will discuss the legislative landscape and the probability of passing such a law in 2026. The event will also feature a demonstration of how small businesses can accept Bitcoin payments using Square, followed by a Q&A and networking reception. This initiative builds on a January 2026 coalition letter proposing a three-pillar digital asset tax framework, including cash-like treatment for stablecoins and de minimis relief for qualifying digital assets like Bitcoin, with a proposed $600 per transaction and $20,000 annual limit. The goal is to simplify tax reporting for Bitcoin transactions, making it more feasible for everyday use and fostering a circular Bitcoin economy, as emphasized by industry figures like Jack Dorsey and Jordan Guess. The event will provide attendees with a call to action, including scripts for contacting representatives and resources at btcismoney.xyz.
