Institutional Bitcoin Tax Considerations
summary
New fair value guidance (late 2023) forces mark‑to‑market for books but not automatically for tax, creating deferred tax assets, valuation allowances and a need to decide capital vs ordinary character (Sec. 1221a); ASC 740 interaction can leave DTAs unrealizable. Treasury regs split into broker reporting (digital asset 1099 / 6045 cap A), basis tracking rules and spec ID vs FIFO clarity, driven by 40,000 comments. Rev Proc 2024‑25 offers a wallet‑by‑wallet safe harbor with attestations due by Jan 1, 2025. Mining rewards remain taxable on receipt; teams debate capitalization and split of coinbase reward vs transaction fees.
