A new proposal introduced in the US Congress could allow both individuals and companies to pay federal taxes using Bitcoin.
The bill aims to let taxpayers complete their federal payments with the leading digital asset and directs all such payments into a national strategic reserve structure. Introduced by Representative Warren Davidson, the initiative is positioned as an attempt to strengthen the government’s financial foundation.
The strategic reserve concept first emerged during the Trump administration, when the government’s existing digital holdings were placed under a dedicated framework. The new bill expands this idea by enabling taxpayers to choose an alternative payment path that channels their contributions directly into the reserve, providing an option favored by voters who want more control over where public funds go.
If passed, the United States would become the first major economy to accept digital asset payments for federal taxes. The trend is also growing at the local level, with Detroit becoming the largest US city to offer crypto tax payments this year. Although still in its early stage, the proposal is already generating significant economic and political debate in Washington.
