The FIGHT to Make Bitcoin Everyday Money with Block and Bitcoin Policy Institute
BFFS convened the operators driving the Bitcoin de minimis tax fight for a closed-door briefing inside Bitcoin 2026. Featuring Janessa Lopez (Head of Digital Asset Policy, Block) and David Zell (President, Bitcoin Policy Institute), the room heard the unfiltered state of play in Washington — which lawmakers are movable, where the bill stands, and what it takes to get tax-free Bitcoin payments under $600 across the finish line before the window closes. The session closed with a live BTC is Money demo and a coordinated call to action from the policy leaders carrying this fight on Capitol Hill.
Partners included Block, Bitcoin Policy Institute, BTC Inc, TFTC, Basilic, Bitment, Satoshi Pacioli, Infinite by Bitcoin Well, and Falcon Rappaport & Berkman.
