What do you tell a business that is worried about cap gains from holding BTC on the balance sheet?

Don't. Lose that stuff in a boating accident and declare it as a loss. 😅

That’s crazy. Don’t be worried be excited you are making gains. Holding fiat is losing

They are concerned that they might preform too well? 🤨🤣

Capital gains tax is immoral but it is applied to every investable asset. It’s only applicable if the underlying asset appreciates in value.

Small businesses which don’t have a treasury or investment fund might not bother holding Bitcoin due to the constant accounting overhead, but any business with enough capital and positive cash flows to have medium-long term investments can greatly benefit from Bitcoin.

I would just ask them how they currently manage capital gains on any of their current investment holdings.

Good insights.

✅ Get involved in facilitating tax-free Bitcoin regulatory progress

✅ Suck it up buttercup

"Increasing your purchasing power has a cost. So does holding dollars. One is guaranteed to depreciate. Both get taxed."
