The post US Is Relaxing Crypto Tax Law For Companies Like MicroStrategy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are preparing to relax a proposed tax rule that subjected crypto companies to a 15% minimum tax on unrealized gains from their digital asset holdings.
