Sen. Steve Daines Unveils Crypto Tax Bill Covering Stablecoins, Fees, and Wash Sales

Republican Senator Steve Daines of Montana has released the text of the Aligning Digital Assets with Principles of Taxation Act, or ADAPT Act, a proposal that would rewrite parts of the U.S. tax code for digital assets. Backed by Senators Lummis, Moreno, and Tim Scott, the bill sets out tax treatment for stablecoins, network fees, staking, lending, and wash sales. The proposal would exempt qualifying everyday stablecoin payments for goods and services from triggering taxable gains or losses, while also removing broker reporting requirements for those transactions. To qualify, a dollar stablecoin would need to be issued under the GENIUS Act framework, appear on a quarterly Treasury list, and remain within 3% of $1.00, with the user’s purchase price also within that range. The bill also says crypto paid as network or gas fees would be treated as tax-free dispositions if total fees tied to a transaction are $10 or less, subject to anti-structuring rules. It would apply wash sale rules to traded digital assets for the first time, with exceptions for qualified stablecoins, certain pre-enactment holdings, staking rewards, mining rewards, and regular recurring purchases. The measure now moves to committee before any full Senate vote.

Sazmining launches Wild Sats Club to cut mining management fees as customer hashrate increases

Sazmining has introduced Wild Sats Club, a loyalty program that links mining management fee discounts to the amount of hashrate a customer already operates with the company. Instead of charging the same fee regardless of fleet size, the program applies lower rates across a customer’s entire installed fleet once certain hashrate thresholds are met. In Phase 1, customers receive a 1% management fee discount at 1.0 PH, 3% at 2.5 PH, and 6% at 5.0 PH, with tiers recalculated every month. Activation requires a qualifying purchase from Sazmining: 0.25 PH for Bronze, 0.50 PH for Silver, or 1.0 PH for Gold, either in one order or across orders placed within 30 days. New, pre-owned, and refurbished rigs bought from Sazmining are eligible. The company also set a founding-member window from Sept. 1 to Dec. 31, 2026, during which qualifying buyers activate at their full earned tier, with lower fees taking effect after the first monthly recalculation once new hardware is energized. Bitcoin Magazine labeled the item as a sponsored press release and advised readers to conduct their own due diligence.

Darius Dale says a 2027 liquidity rebound could set up a higher move in Bitcoin

Darius Dale, founder of 42 Macro, said in a Bitcoin Magazine program that falling funding liquidity may keep Bitcoin volatile in the near term, with the market potentially stuck in a choppy phase before a larger move. His central call was that if liquidity returns in 2027 — an outcome he said is more likely than not — Bitcoin could break higher over the following 12 to 18 months. The episode also ranged across a broad set of macro topics, including who benefits from rising Treasury yields, why higher rates have not yet hit the economy, the role of the AI capital expenditure boom, debt resolution paths, and the case against bonds in portfolio construction. Dale also laid out why he believes Bitcoin deserves its own place in a portfolio, arguing that it offers an exposure distinct from both stocks and gold. Bitcoin Magazine’s description included a disclaimer stating that the views expressed are those of the participants and not necessarily those of BTC Inc., Bitcoin Magazine, or affiliated entities. It also said the material is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be taken as investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice. The post was written by Patrick Green.

Bitcoin Magazine argues quantum computing is not an immediate threat to Bitcoin

Bitcoin Magazine published a long-form analysis arguing that a cryptographically relevant quantum computer, or CRQC, is not on the verge of breaking Bitcoin. The piece says there is no evidence such a machine will be built within the next decade, and it remains unclear whether one will ever be built at all. In the author’s view, today’s quantum systems are still far from the scale and stability required to reconstruct private keys from public keys and sign transactions that move other people’s coins. The article walks through the current state of quantum hardware, saying no existing machine has produced a result beyond what a very capable 6-year-old could do, despite the sophistication of the underlying engineering. It also argues that heavy capital inflows do not prove that practical breakthroughs are close, using NASA’s Space Shuttle program and SpaceX’s Falcon 9 as an analogy for the gap between expensive demonstrations and reliable deployment. At the same time, the piece does not call for complacency. It says Bitcoin should keep advancing work on new cryptographic approaches and post-quantum signature schemes, including P2MR, P2TRv2, SHRINCS, SPHINCS, IBC and ML-DSA. The article was written by Brandon Black and appears as a preview from Bitcoin Magazine’s latest print edition, The Quantum Issue.

Shielded Bitcoin proposal aims to add private transfers without changing Bitcoin

Bitcoin Magazine has highlighted a research proposal called Shielded Bitcoin, presented in a show featuring Misha Komorov, co-founder of Alloc Innit. The idea is to use zero-knowledge proofs to hide the sender, receiver, and amount in a Bitcoin transaction while avoiding changes to Bitcoin itself. According to the program description, the design does not rely on a soft fork, custodians, or bridges. The discussion covers how Bitcoin PIPEs could make the approach possible, along with open questions the proposal still needs to address. It also examines whether indexers and ZK rollups introduce trust assumptions, how Shielded Bitcoin compares with Monero and Zcash, what kinds of privacy it can and cannot protect, and the limits faced by early users when the privacy set is still small. Other topics in the episode include fees, block space, larger shielded transactions, and possible demand from users concerned about wrench attacks or from corporate treasuries. The show also touches on dark pools, governments, and the next wave of Bitcoin buyers. Bitcoin Magazine notes that Shielded Bitcoin remains a research proposal rather than a finished product. The post first appeared on Bitcoin Magazine and is credited to Patrick Green.

HANetf launches euro-hedged Bitcoin fund in Europe, calling it a first of its kind

HANetf, an ETF provider with $9.2 billion under management, has launched the Arrow Bitcoin EUR Hedged ETF in Europe. The product is designed to give investors exposure to Bitcoin while reducing the effect of euro-dollar currency swings, an extra layer of risk that can affect returns because Bitcoin is priced in U.S. dollars. HANetf described the exchange-traded commodity as the world’s first euro-hedged Bitcoin product of its kind. In a statement, co-founder and co-CEO Hector McNeil said the launch brings the established logic of euro-hedged ETFs into the crypto market. He said investors have long recognized that currency movements can materially influence returns across asset classes, citing gold as an example, and argued that European investors in Bitcoin products often end up taking a view on both Bitcoin and the dollar at the same time. HSBC will provide the currency hedge for the fund. The structure typically relies on forward contracts that lock in an exchange rate for a future date, with positions usually rolled each month. The report also pointed to strong demand for spot Bitcoin funds in the United States since SEC approval in 2024. According to Coinglass, those U.S. products now hold a combined $111.1 billion in assets.
