Senator Lummis introduced a bill allowing U.S. citizens to spend up to $300 worth of bitcoin on goods and services annually without paying capital gains taxes.
There is a yearly cap of $5,000 on tax-exempt bitcoin spending with adjustments for inflation starting in 2026.
Critics argue that the thresholds for tax-exempt bitcoin spending are too low and propose removing caps while maintaining purchases for goods and services.
Despite some dissatisfaction with the bill's limits, there is an acknowledgment of Senator Lummis' effort to promote legislation for tax reform related to bitcoin spending.
