White House confirms Trump supports removing crypto taxes on small payments.
Such an incentive to reduce crypto taxes may alter how Americans spend digital assets in daily life.
During a White House press briefing, Frank Corva, the White House correspondent for Bitcoin Magazine, asked about crypto legislation. He was interested in knowing what the administration thought of it. His inquiries were aimed at two big problems. Taxation in crypto on small transactions and state attitude toward central bank digital currencies.
In its turn, the White House confirmed that the President prefers a de minimis crypto tax exemption. It would exempt small crypto transactions, like today’s small foreign exchange transactions.

Right now, paying for everyday items with crypto is difficult. Even buying things with Bitcoin can trigger a taxable event. The White House explained that removing crypto taxes on small payments would make crypto simpler and more practical to use. The goal is to allow people to spend crypto without tracking every tiny gain or loss.
Officials said the administration is receptive to legislative solutions. These solutions would make crypto payments easier and more efficient for everyday users.
The briefing also touched on central bank digital currencies, or CBDCs. The White House made its position clear. President Trump strongly opposes a U.S. central bank digital currency. He previously signed an executive order banning it in January and supports efforts by Congress to turn that order into law.
The current Genius Act lacks CBDC language, but the administration supports future legislation. That legislation would officially block the issuance of a government-issued digital dollar.
The White House confirmed that the Genius Act has passed Congress and is heading to the President’s desk. The White House expects to hold a signing ceremony soon. Officials said the legislation is part of a broader plan. It aims to make the United States the world’s crypto capital, a promise Trump made during his campaign.
The White House’s confirmation of Trump’s support for removing crypto taxes on small payments is a big moment for the industry. If passed into law, fewer crypto taxes could unlock real adoption.
