The House Advanced a Crypto Tax Bill 38 to 5. What the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act Changes for Bitcoin Holders.

The measure would exempt $10 crypto fees from reporting and end a common Bitcoin loss-harvesting tactic, while raising Treasury revenue, lawmakers said.

  • On Wednesday, the House Ways and Means Committee passed the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act 38-5, aiming to reshape how Bitcoin holders manage taxes on daily purchases and year-end filings.
  • The vote occurred one day after the Senate blocked the CLARITY Act, a broader market-structure bill, though this proposal avoids ethics disputes and focuses on revenue generation for the Treasury.
  • By extending wash-sale rules to digital assets, the bill prevents investors from selling Bitcoin at a loss to offset gains, while a de minimis exemption would spare network fees of $10 or less from reporting.
  • Representative Steven Horsford advocated for the small-transaction exemption during committee debate, while Representative Lloyd Doggett opposed the bill, arguing it favors the industry over broader taxpayer priorities.
  • Lawmakers may consider the crypto provisions within a larger year-end tax package rather than a standalone vote, providing the IRS clearer rules for digital asset transactions.
