Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Tax-free Bitcoin sales for certified miners

If enacted, the bill would add a new tax rule letting certified Bitcoin miners exclude from gross income any gain when they sell "qualified Bitcoin" to the United States for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. "Qualified Bitcoin" must have been mined by the seller or received as a direct pool reward. Only sellers certified under the Commerce program would qualify for the exclusion.

New certification for U.S. miners

If enacted, the bill would create a voluntary "Mined in America" certification for proof-of-work mining facilities and pools. You would need to be located in the United States or a friendly nation and to disclose ownership and cybersecurity practices. The certification would require phased hardware sourcing rules starting Jan 1, 2027 and tightening to full removal of foreign-adversary hardware by Jan 1, 2030. The Commerce Secretary would keep a protected registry, limit FOIA disclosure of proprietary filings, and issue rules within the Act's timelines.

DOE loans and grants for mining conversions

If enacted, the bill would expand DOE loan guarantees and infrastructure programs to cover projects by certified entities that replace foreign-adversary mining hardware or convert mining sites to grid-interactive or demand-responsive compute. It would also make qualifying "Mined in America" grid-interactive infrastructure eligible for Smart Grid Investment Grants. The Secretary of Energy must issue rules within 180 days and coordinate with Commerce on certification checks.

Treasury Bitcoin reserve and stockpile

If enacted, the bill would create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve of government-controlled Bitcoin and a separate United States Digital Asset Stockpile for non-Bitcoin assets. It would set strict on-chain provenance rules for Bitcoin the Treasury may buy and require verification using only blockchain data. The bill would let Treasury credit staking rewards, airdrops, and proceeds to a Strategic Bitcoin Acquisition Account to buy Bitcoin without further appropriation, but it would ban pledging assets as collateral and bar leverage or margin risk.

Help for U.S. mining hardware makers

If enacted, the bill would direct Commerce to promote exports of U.S.-made proof-of-work mining equipment to friendly nations. The bill would also let NIST award grants and use the Manufacturing Extension Partnership to help U.S. firms design secure, energy-efficient mining hardware and retool for production. These steps would mainly help U.S. manufacturers find buyers and lower retooling costs.
