Buying coffee with bitcoin is easy, the resulting tax burden is not


You can buy a cup of coffee with bitcoin easily enough in the U.S. — and get a tax headache thrown in for free.

The form-filling burden is enough to deter users from using the largest cryptocurrency to pay for real-world transactions, according to the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank known for its support of free markets, limited government and individual liberty. Abolishing capital gains tax could change that, it said.

"It’s never been easier to use Bitcoin as money," Nicholas Anthony, a research fellow at the institute's Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives, wrote in a report. "Yet, at the same time, the tax code puts an incredible burden on law-abiding citizens. Something as simple as buying a cup of coffee every day with Bitcoin can result in over 100 pages of tax filings."

That's because the tax system doesn't treat bitcoin as cash at the point of payment. Instead, every transaction is treated as if an asset has been sold just at that moment, triggering capital gains calculations. And the calculations aren't straightforward.

That means figuring out when the bitcoin (or fraction of bitcoin) used in the transaction was originally acquired, how much it cost and the value at the moment it was spent. The difference is then treated as a taxable capital gain or loss.

Then it gets complicated. It's quite possible the BTC was accumulated in several batches rather than a single purchase. So when you paid for the coffee, the coins could have been acquired at different times, each with its own cost basis and purchase price. Those details need to be retrieved, recorded and reported. Every time.

The headache doesn't stop there, because there is always a risk of penalty or audit in case you make a mistake in reporting.

The fix

Bitcoin holds near $75,000 as short-term holders look for profit opportunities


Bitcoin is still hovering near $75,000 as it hits a wall of supply while institutional demand remains steady, with traders weighing progress in U.S.-Iran peace talks during a two-week ceasefire.

The CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index rose around 1.9% in the past 24 hours, compared with bitcoin’s 1%, amid reports of a ceasefire extension, improving risk sentiment.

The increases come alongside a softer U.S. dollar, which slipped to a near six-week low, and easing Treasury yields, conditions that often support crypto prices by lowering the relative appeal of holding cash. Gold also gained, pointing to a market balancing risk appetite with hedging demand.

Still, the backdrop remains tense. The U.S. blockade of Iranian ports and Iran’s threats to disrupt shipping routes in the Persian Gulf and nearby waterways continue to cloud the outlook for the global economy.

Energy supply shocks have already begun feeding into inflation expectations, a factor that could shift central bank policy and ripple into crypto markets.

Onchain data also show bitcoin supply tends to appear when prices reach key cost-basis levels for short-term holders. That’s around $76,800, a level that could act as resistance as investors cash out when breaking even.

Derivatives positioning

Crypto futures open interest (OI) has risen 2.5% in the past 24 hours even as trading volume dropped 16% and liquidations fell 48% to $220 million.

The divergence suggests traders are adding or holding positions despite a slowdown in activity, pointing to a buildup of exposure without strong conviction. The sharp decline in liquidations indicates reduced volatility and fewer forced exits.

Among the biggest tokens, XRP and $DOGE stand out with OI increases of at least 3%, showcasing a bullish combination of positive perpetual f

SimpleSwap marks 8 years with 20 million swaps processed and near-perfect uptime record. Summary SimpleSwap marks 8 years with 20m+ swaps and 99.9% uptime, highlighting resilience across crypto cycles The platform outlasts major market events, offering insight into infrastructure-level crypto trends SimpleSwap shares six key trends shaping the next phase of crypto from an infrastructure perspective SimpleSwap just turned eight. In an industry where 90–99% of projects never reach operational maturity, that number means something.  The company has processed over 20 million swaps and maintained 99.9% uptime for 2,922 consecutive days. Over 6,000 partner teams — from Tangem to Exodus to Cake Wallet — trust its infrastructure with their users’ transactions.  SimpleSwap has watched Bitcoin climb from $8,000 to $100,000 and outlasted every event that was supposed to end the industry: crypto winters, the FTX collapse, the regulatory crackdowns, and the memecoin cycle that launched over 13 million tokens in a single year. Eight years of running swap infrastructure through every possible market condition gives investors a specific kind of perspective. They stop paying attention to what’s trending on Twitter and start noticing what’s actually changing in the pipes underneath. So here’s a birthday gift to the industry: not a self-congratulatory retrospective, but the six trends SimpleSwap believes will define the next phase of crypto. Some of these align with what the major reports are saying. Some of them are only seen because it’s sitting inside the infrastructure layer, watching the traffic patterns shift in real time. Trend 1: “Boring” wins. Reliability becomes the competitive moat In 2018, the crypto pitch was decentralization and disruption. In 2026, blockchains process 3,400 transactions per second; stablecoin volume rivals Vi
