MicroStrategy: Taxation on Unrealized Gains

10 months ago

Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, may face federal income taxes due to new US regulations.

The Core Issue

According to the Inflation Reduction Act passed in 2022, the company is required to pay a 'corporate alternative minimum tax' at 15% of adjusted earnings. This could include MicroStrategy's unrealized gains despite them not selling Bitcoin for profit.

Potential Legislative Changes

However, the IRS might grant an exemption for Bitcoin under a potentially more crypto-friendly Trump administration.

History of MicroStrategy and Reports

As of early 2023, MicroStrategy's portfolio exceeded 450,000 BTC, valued over $48 billion. Previously, in August 2022, the company and Saylor were accused of evading taxes in Washington, D.C., for which they later agreed to pay $40 million.

Potential tax changes for MicroStrategy may set a significant precedent for other corporate crypto holders.
