BPI also launched a new financial Bitcoin Tax Payment Model tool to support legislation that calculates the financial impact that Bitcoin tax payments would have on federal Bitcoin reserves. According to a November 20 press release, the model provides policymakers and the public with “a data-driven illustration of the potential financial benefits of long-term Bitcoin accumulation.”

Bitcoin Potential Savings for U.S. Law
The Bitcoin for America Act was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on November 20 by Ohio Representative Warren Davidson. The bill makes a case for codifying Bitcoin reserves and allowing Americans to pay their taxes via Bitcoin by noting that the cryptocurrency has proven anti-inflation capabilities. It also constitutes a reserve fund for national security reasons.
According to the bill, the United States risks falling behind countries such as China and Russia in the strategic race to secure cryptocurrency reserves. Meanwhile, if passed, the bill would “protect national security by securing a stake in decentralized and geopolitically neutral assets that are unaffected by sanctions or external interference.”
The Bitcoin for America Act will position our country to lead, not follow, as the world navigates a future of sound money and digital innovation.

BPI’s Bitcoin Tax Payment Model represents the hypothetical revenue generated by paying a certain percentage of U.S. federal taxes in Bitcoin. The tool allows users to adjust several parameters, including the approximate percentage of taxes to be paid in Bitcoin (0-10%), the retrospective forecast period from 2020 to 2050, the expected annual growth rate of Bitcoin and tax revenues, and the types of tax revenues considered.
For example, if we maximize the options and imagine a hypothetical scenario where 10% of citizens began paying all eligible federal taxes in Bitcoin from 2020 to 2050, the tool predicts a net benefit (increased Bitcoin reserves versus cash reserves) of $1.11 trillion.
A more potentially viable configuration in which just 1% of taxpayers would remit money in Bitcoin would generate $34.6 trillion in net benefits from 2025 to 2050, according to the model. This is enough to pay off America’s current deficit and public debt.
