US Senator Cynthia Lummis pushes to include a crypto tax amendment.
She hopes to push exemptions for crypto tax in the Big Beautiful Bill.

Senator Cynthia Lummis pushes to include a crypto tax amendment in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill Act, the same Bill that resulted in a very public argument between Trump and Elon Musk. In detail, Senator Lummis is proposing tax exemptions for crypto transactions under $300 up to $5,000 annually. Along with this she hopes to include exemptions on taxing staking, mining, airdrops, and forks only upon sale to avoid double taxation.
Senator Cynthia Lummis Pushes for Crypto Tax Amendment
As crypto adoption grows more and more popular across the world, government entities are working on setting new policies to protect and serve crypto users. As this evolution occurs, it is important to note that each new policy should be crafted with care and with the presence of experts to ensure that these new policies would best reflect the sentiments of the public and the greater crypto community.
Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill Act was announced a few weeks ago. This Bill will act as a big tax break and divert funds towards the US border patrol and defences. The Big Beautiful Bill led to a big bad breakup between Elon Musk and Trump. The two butted heads in a very public argument that escalated to Trump calling for Musk’s deportation and with Musk calling for Trump’s impeachment.
According to Elon Musk, the Big Beautiful Bill is a waste of the American citizens’ funds. In fact, Musk states that all those who voted in favor of the Bill are no less than traitors to the American people. Trump meanwhile believes that this move will save the American government plenty of funds and was disappointed by Musk’s reaction. While their relationship comes to a close, others are looking towards making the best of the Bill.
Crypto Tax Exemptions on the Big Beautiful Bill
To highlight, Senator Cynthia Lummis is making the best of the Bill and is trying to ensure that crypto users will also gain some benefits from Trump’s Big Beautiful BillI Act. In detail the US Senator is pushing to include a crypto tax amendment in the Big Beautiful Bill, proposing tax exemptions for crypto transactions under $300 up to $5,000 annually, and taxing staking, mining, airdrops, and forks only upon sale to avoid double taxation.

Responses to the move show that Lummis’s plan is a bullish signal for U.S. crypto taxes. Exempting small buys means crypto could work for daily payments, and taxing staking/mining only on sale is a double-tax kill switch that miners and stakers love. All in all, community sentiment is strongly positive, with major voices and advocates pushing for fast passage, hoping it’ll keep innovation and capital in the U.S.
