According to BlockBeats, the U.S. White House Digital Assets Working Group has released a 168-page report on cryptocurrencies, recommending that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) clarify the timing of tax obligations for Bitcoin mining earnings. The report suggests that taxation should occur at the point of sale rather than at the time of mining, to prevent double taxation through both mining income tax and capital gains tax upon sale.
Leo Lu, CEO of BitFuFu, commented that this proposal could significantly reduce the tax burden on miners and promote the mainstream adoption of Bitcoin. Similar tax deferral proposals have been introduced in Congress, such as the H.R. 8149 bill.
