🧵 Legal thread of the week: Congress is Coming After #Bitcoin ATMs With Strict New Purchase Limits [1/7] FBI data shows more than $333 million lost to Bitcoin ATM scams in 2025. Americans age 60 and older accounted for over 85% of losses in cases where age was known. [2/7] On June 11, Reps. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) and Sean Casten (D-IL) introduced bipartisan legislation targeting fraud at these machines. It would impose new operator requirements and user protections at the point where cash becomes #Bitcoin. [3/7] The bill proposes these transaction limits: => New customers: $2,000 per day maximum, and no more than $10,000 total in the first 14 days. => Existing customers: $7,500 daily cap. [4/7] Operators would have to run anti-money laundering programs, written policies and checks to detect and stop illegal money movement. They must also conduct customer due diligence, report suspicious activity, and maintain records of every transaction plus current machine locations. [5/7] Before any purchase, users must see clear scam warnings and fraud alerts. Operators must disclose all fees and show the Bitcoin price against prevailing market rates. Refunds of charges would be required for transactions proven to involve #fraud. [6/7] More than 30,000 Bitcoin ATMs sit in gas stations, convenience stores, and malls across the country. Scammers commonly direct victims there after impersonating banks, government agencies, or law enforcement. The bill sets federal standards while preserving states’ power to add stricter consumer rules. [7/7] Daily purchase caps and mandatory warnings at #Bitcoin ATMs: targeted friction against elder scams at the cash-to-Bitcoin step, or an overreach that restricts access for everyone else? 👇 Bitcoin maxi? 💥 Subscribe to The Bitcoin Act → and get your FREE Legal Shield Checklist instantly.

🧵 Legal thread of the week: Bitcoin taxes: Republicans drop 7 bills, Democrats say slow down [1/7] House Ways and Means held its first legislative hearing in years on Bitcoin taxation. Republicans arrived with seven bills ready. [2/7] Those seven Republican-led bills target real friction points in how #Bitcoin is taxed today. • Tax limits on smaller Bitcoin transactions • Deferred taxation for Bitcoin mining rewards until you sell them • Wash sale rules extended to Bitcoin — meaning you cannot claim a loss if you repurchase similar Bitcoin within 30 days [3/7] None of these bills move on party lines alone. They need bipartisan support to clear committee. Only then could they hitch a ride on a reconciliation package — which passes with a simple majority but carries strict content rules. [4/7] Ranking Democrat Richard Neal called the proposals “sensible” overall. He also flagged that some provisions deviate substantially from general tax principles. His larger point: this is novel territory. Caution is warranted. [5/7] Rep. John Larson, D-Connecticut, captured the tension directly. He sees urgency around Bitcoin tax rules. But he asked aloud whether Congress is acting too quickly, when far more questions remain than answers. [6/7] Midterms hit in November. Lawmaker attention is already drifting to campaigns. #Bitcoin tax legislation now competes with government funding and the annual defense bill, the clock is real. [7/7] The split is no longer about whether Bitcoin deserves tax rules. It’s whether those rules should copy traditional tax code line-for-line, or actually reflect how Bitcoin works. Which side wins? 🏛️ In today’s world, knowing #Bitcoin law isn’t optional, it’s essential for staying free and safe. 💥 Subscribe to my weekly newsletter and get the sharpest breakdowns delivered straight to you:
