According to Foresight News, early Bitcoin advocate Roger Ver has reached a formal settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice. Ver admitted to deliberately concealing his Bitcoin holdings when he renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2014. As part of the agreement, he signed a deferred prosecution agreement and paid nearly $50 million in back taxes, penalties, and interest to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Since 2014, Ver has been a citizen of Saint Kitts and Nevis. Last year, he was arrested in Spain and extradited to the United States on related charges. The case was investigated by the IRS Criminal Investigation's Cyber Crimes Unit.#RogerVer #Bitcoin #DOJ #IRS #DeferredProsecution #BackTaxes #TaxEvasion #RenouncedUSCitizenship #SaintKittsAndNevis #Extradition #Spain #CyberCrimesUnit #BTC
🚀 U.S. Treasury's Tax Relief Measures for Corporations Raise Concerns

According to Foresight News, the U.S. Treasury has provided tax relief to private equity firms, cryptocurrency companies, foreign real estate investors, and other large corporations this year. In October, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) introduced new proposed regulations offering benefits to foreign investors in U.S. real estate. Additionally, in August, the IRS suggested easing rules that prevent multinational companies from avoiding taxes by claiming duplicate losses across different countries.
The New York Times reports that these announcements have not yet made major headlines but have caught the attention of accounting and consulting firms. Kyle Pomerleau, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, expressed concerns that the U.S. Treasury has been implementing tax cuts without legislative approval. He emphasized that the Constitution mandates Congress to decide tax laws, and the Treasury's actions appear to exceed the authority granted by Congress, undermining this constitutional principle.#USTreasury #TaxRelief #PrivateEquity #Cryptocurrency #ForeignInvestors #RealEstate #IRS #MultinationalCompanies #TaxCuts #Constitution #TaxLaws #Congress #KylePomerleau
🚀 U.S. Government Advances Proposal for International Crypto Tax Reporting

According to BlockBeats, the Trump administration is advancing a regulatory proposal to authorize the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to obtain key information on citizens' overseas crypto accounts and implement taxation. The proposal for the U.S. to join the international crypto tax reporting framework was submitted to the White House by the Treasury Department on Friday, where it will undergo review by the President's advisory team.
Earlier this year, the White House urged the Treasury Department and IRS to develop rules for the U.S. to join the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), established by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in 2022. This multilateral agreement requires member countries to automatically share information on citizens' crypto assets to combat cross-border tax evasion. Currently, Japan, Germany, France, Canada, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, and the Bahamas, among other crypto hubs, have signed the agreement.
In a crypto policy report released this summer, U.S. President Donald Trump's crypto advisory team recommended that the U.S. join the framework. The White House stated at the time, "Implementing CARF will prevent taxpayers from transferring digital assets to overseas trading platforms, promote the growth and application of U.S. digital assets, and avoid placing the U.S. at a competitive disadvantage due to a lack of reporting mechanisms." The report called for the Treasury Department and IRS to study specific implementation plans but emphasized that "new reporting requirements should not be set for DeFi transactions."
The global deployment of CARF is planned to officially launch in 2027.#crypto #cryptotax #IRS #cryptoassets #CARF #OECD #taxreporting #USgovernment #internationaltax #cryptoregulation #blockchain #digitalassets #taxevasion #DeFi #Trumpadministration #cryptoaccount

🚀 U.S. Lawmakers Urge IRS to Revise Crypto Staking Tax Rules by 2026
#USLawmakers #CryptoStaking #TaxRules #IRS #Cryptocurrency #BlockchainInnovation #DoubleTaxation #TaxReform #DigitalAssets
According to ChainCatcher, a group of 18 bipartisan U.S. lawmakers has sent a joint letter to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), advocating for changes to the current tax regulations on cryptocurrency staking. The legislators are urging the IRS to amend the 'double taxation' rule by 2026, proposing that taxes should only be applied upon the sale of staked assets rather than at the moment rewards are received.
Representative Mike Carey emphasized that this initiative aims to ensure fair tax treatment for digital assets and bolster the United States' leadership in blockchain innovation.#USLawmakers #CryptoStaking #TaxRules #IRS #Cryptocurrency #BlockchainInnovation #DoubleTaxation #TaxReform #DigitalAssets
🚀 New U.S. Tax Measures on Cross-Border Remittances Effective January 2026
#USTax #CrossBorderRemittances #RemittanceTax #IRS #Treasury #PhysicalPaymentInstruments #MoneyOrders #CashierChecks #BankTransfers #DebitCard #CreditCard #Cryptocurrency #Stablecoin #TaxRegulations #USResidents #USCitizens #TrumpAdministration #BigAndBeautifulBill
According to Odaily, new tax measures on certain cross-border remittances in the United States took effect on January 1, 2026. Under regulations from the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service, remittance service providers are required to withhold a 1% tax on eligible transactions and report it accordingly. The regulations specify that remittances funded by cash or similar 'physical payment instruments,' such as money orders and cashier's checks, are subject to this tax. However, transactions funded through U.S. bank account transfers or using debit or credit cards are generally exempt.
This measure is part of the 'Big and Beautiful' tax and spending bill promoted by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. According to the IRS, the tax applies to overseas remitters, including U.S. citizens and residents.
Tax experts have noted that cryptocurrency and stablecoin transfers are not considered taxable remittance transfers. This implies that stablecoins do not fall under the category of 'physical payment instruments' subject to the tax, although the practical implications remain uncertain.#USTax #CrossBorderRemittances #RemittanceTax #IRS #Treasury #PhysicalPaymentInstruments #MoneyOrders #CashierChecks #BankTransfers #DebitCard #CreditCard #Cryptocurrency #Stablecoin #TaxRegulations #USResidents #USCitizens #TrumpAdministration #BigAndBeautifulBill
🚀 IRS Proposes Tax Changes for Sovereign Wealth and Public Pension Funds
#IRS #TaxChanges #SovereignWealthFunds #PublicPensionFunds #InvestmentStrategies #Taxation #DirectLending #DebtRestructuring #CoInvestments #SWF #TaxCode #PANews #InvestmentImpact
According to PANews, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has proposed amendments to Section 892 of the tax code, aiming to redefine certain direct investment activities by sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) and public pension funds as 'commercial activities' subject to taxation. The proposed changes could encompass activities such as direct lending, debt restructuring, and co-investments, potentially impacting previously completed investment projects. This proposal is seen as a move that might compel SWFs to adopt more passive investment strategies. The comment period for this proposal will conclude on February 13.#IRS #TaxChanges #SovereignWealthFunds #PublicPensionFunds #InvestmentStrategies #Taxation #DirectLending #DebtRestructuring #CoInvestments #SWF #TaxCode #PANews #InvestmentImpact
