A significant legislative proposal, the "Bitcoin for America Act," has been introduced in the U.S. House by Representative Warren Davidson (November 2025). This bill represents one of the strongest moves yet toward federal Bitcoin integration.
Key Features of the Proposal:
- Tax Payments in BTC: The bill would allow U.S. citizens to voluntarily pay their federal taxes directly using Bitcoin.
- Strategic Reserve Growth: All Bitcoin tax payments would be channeled straight into the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which was established earlier in 2025 (beginning with 200,000 BTC seized from enforcement actions). This turns the reserve from a passive holding into an active mechanism for accumulating digital assets.
- Major Tax Incentive: A key feature for taxpayers is that no capital gains tax would apply to the transfer of Bitcoin to the Treasury for tax settlement. The BTC would simply be valued at its market price at the time of payment.
- Economic Rationale: Supporters argue this allows the U.S. government to accumulate a "non-inflationary, appreciating asset" to hedge against inflation. Advocates suggest that even if only 1% of federal taxes were paid in Bitcoin, it could lead to meaningful economic gains over twenty years.
This proposal builds on earlier efforts from pro-Bitcoin lawmakers but uniquely links citizen participation in tax payments directly to national digital-asset policy. It signals a major shift in Washington, where Bitcoin is increasingly being viewed as a strategic asset for the federal government, not just an investment class.
