The hearing is scheduled for today and focuses on whether Bitcoin held by miners before sale should be taxed, a policy issue with implications for how mining income is treated.
The US House Ways and Means Committee is set to hold a hearing today on taxing unsold Bitcoin held by miners. The issue goes to how mining operations should be taxed when they retain newly mined tokens rather than immediately selling them, a question that could affect cash flow, accounting, and the timing of tax liabilities across the sector.
