MicroStrategy Faces $18 Billion Tax on Unrealized Bitcoin Gains Starting 2026, Trump's IRS May Intervene
Jan 24, 2025, 12:30 PM
MicroStrategy Inc. is facing a potential multibillion-dollar tax issue on $18 billion in unrealized Bitcoin gains, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. The tax liability stems from the corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) introduced under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which applies to companies with annual revenues exceeding $1 billion. The company's Bitcoin holdings, valued at approximately $47 billion, include these unrealized gains. MicroStrategy may be required to pay federal income taxes on these gains starting in 2026, even if it does not sell its Bitcoin. The situation has sparked discussions about possible intervention by Trump's IRS, which could potentially exempt Bitcoin from such taxes.
