It isnt bitcoin, it is a security, and they dont need to tax it while sitting, they can specially tax any actual actions.

As for the bitcoins, well, they can just take them.

You think the US government is going to seize Bitcoin using force from likely theost connect and public facing Bitcoin holder in the world?

Lol, ok.

First, I don't think you understand what Bitcoin is for.

Second, an example:

Building on existing IRS rules that limit interest deductibility for investment-related debt (such as under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code, which caps business interest deductions at 30% of adjusted taxable income), the government could introduce targeted legislation classifying borrowings for cryptocurrency purchases as "speculative" or "non-business" expenses. This would fully disallow interest deductions for debt-financed Bitcoin treasuries, like those employed by MicroStrategy, where convertible notes and loans fund ongoing acquisitions.

Justification could stem from treating crypto as non-income-producing assets until sold, similar to how personal investment interest is limited to net investment income. For companies, this would inflate taxable income by the full interest amount (potentially billions annually for high-debt entities) forcing them to pay taxes at corporate rates (currently 21%, but could rise under proposed hikes) without offsets. Individuals involved, such as executives with performance-tied compensation, might face imputed income taxes if corporate shortfalls lead to restructurings or personal guarantees.

This remains legal as an extension of existing deduction limits, enforceable via audits and penalties for misclassification, and could be enacted through budget reconciliation to avoid bipartisan hurdles.

What are you talking about? None of this has anything to do with Saylir saying you can't tariffs Bitcoin.

Which under current law and supreme Court is absolutely true.

Trump cannot do any of the above on his own. Congress would have to and there would be insane lawsuits. Unrealized capital gains are not constitutional, so your basis is wrong to start.

But I don't even know what Bitcoin is for. So who knows.

I am curious though. Quill says 100% AI generated argument, zerogot 32%, and justdone ai checker says 91%.

So which is the most correct Mr smart tax guy? 😂

No i totally wrote a whole essay just for you because i truly thought you would be convinced by it... lol

Awww, thanks!

In the end, all I'm saying is that the government will continue to take our stuff in whichever ways we make it easy for them.

Over and over. Every time.

Saylor can't hack a system that makes the rules, and his shareholders would be better off holding real bitcoins.

Absolute 💯 agree. I have no idea why someone would want to buy MSTR because they own Bitcoin. Just buy the freaking Bitcoin. Yet here we are will billion of inflows into his debt.

Bizarro world.
