The infrastructure provider owes tax on the commission it collected from those same illiquid tokens.<\/p>\n<p>Jennie Levin, chief legal and operating officer at the Algorand Foundation and a former staking-as-a-service operator, calls this \u201ca constant cash drag\u201d where every reward on every network must be valued at the moment of receipt. If the price falls before anyone can sell, the liability is already set at the higher number.<\/p>\n<p>That position hardened on June 4, when the US Tax Court issued its first opinion directly addressing the taxation of staking rewards. In Paschall v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. In 2026-46, the court held that rewards constitute gross income under Section 61 when the taxpayer gains dominion and control over them.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling is non-precedential, and Jarrett v. United States and other pending cases may yet complicate it, but it arrived exactly when Congress is deciding whether to legislate a different answer.<\/p>\n<p>H.R. 9175 gives taxpayers the option to treat newly minted tokens as self-created property, deferring recognition until disposition.<\/p>\n<p>The Blockchain Association, Crypto Council for Innovation, and The Digital Chamber have backed it as a \u201cbalanced compromise\u201d that preserves ordinary-income classification while eliminating the tax-before-liquidity penalty that drives staking infrastructure offshore.<\/p>\n<p>If it passes, institutional clients can build US-based validation businesses without treating every reward cycle as a potential cash-flow crisis, a change that becomes most valuable when prices are rising, and phantom tax obligations on locked tokens are at their largest.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_545045\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-545045\" style=\"width: 1278px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-545045 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/brave_1o2LngRZcA.jpg\" alt=\"How staking rewards create a tax-before-liquidity problem\" width=\"1278\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/brave_1o2LngRZcA.jpg 1278w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/brave_1o2LngRZcA-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/brave_1o2LngRZcA-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/brave_1o2LngRZcA-768x429.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1278px) 100vw, 1278px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-545045 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/brave_1o2LngRZcA.jpg\" alt=\"How staking rewards create a tax-before-liquidity problem\" width=\"1278\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/brave_1o2LngRZcA.jpg 1278w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/brave_1o2LngRZcA-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/brave_1o2LngRZcA-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/brave_1o2LngRZcA-768x429.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1278px) 100vw, 1278px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-545045\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A five-step diagram contrasts current IRS treatment of staking rewards as taxable upon receipt with H.R. 9175&#8217;s proposed deferral of tax recognition until tokens are sold or disposed of.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Switzerland and Singapore have already moved to offer clearer treatment, and they are pulling institutional staking business at the margin as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Levin noted where the bill&#8217;s reach ends:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe tax bill takes the US from punitive to viable;
