The 2026 Tax Test: Which Bitcoin CFOs Are Actually Prepared?
How to keep your auditors, CFO, and the IRS aligned as you acquire Bitcoin.
Most conversations about “Bitcoin for corporates” focus on strategy and ignore the part that actually gets deals approved: How will this look on our financials, our tax return, and in front of our auditors?
Bitcoin Treasuries is excited to share a new professional session with O21 Solutions founder Matt Agee and Bitment co‑founder Jordan Guess, focused on accounting and tax rules that apply when a business starts holding or using Bitcoin.
This webinar is built for finance leaders who want to move beyond theory and understand how a Bitcoin program works inside real‑world books and records.
O21 Solutions helps companies develop and implement Bitcoin-powered corporate strategies: Corporate culture and leadership. Bitcoin adoption and integration. Tailored research, analysis, and education. Customized frameworks and action plans. Treasury optimization and industry best practices. Bitcoin strategy development framework and process. Facilitated program delivery. High-quality Bitcoin-only Partner network.
What this session delivers for finance leaders
● Clear treatment of common scenarios. How to account for Bitcoin received as payment, when auto‑conversion to fiat is “just another cash sale,” and when keeping BTC requires explicit revenue and cost‑basis entries.
● A roadmap for treasury‑held BTC. When capital gains or losses apply, how to use FIFO vs. specific identification, and why businesses need a complete cost‑basis schedule across wallets and exchanges — not just whatever shows up on a 1099‑DA.
● Guidance on payroll and contractor payments in BTC. How paying in Bitcoin can create payroll expense, income tax, and capital‑gains consequences at the same time, and what to plan for before you flip that switch.
● Mining as a real business, not a tax gimmick. Why mining income is generally treated as ordinary income, which expenses can be deducted, and how to think about year‑one bonus depreciation versus years two through five.
● What new reporting really means. How to interpret the digital‑asset question on tax forms and the new 1099‑DA, and why Matt and Jordan still see the burden resting on internal accounting teams or specialized providers.
As Jordan puts it, Bitcoin behaves a lot like stock from the IRS’s point of view –– but without the built‑in reporting. This webinar shows how to close that gap so your Bitcoin strategy doesn’t outpace your controls.
