Policy Priorities
The Canadian Bitcoin Consortium is committed to advancing policy that positions Canada as a global leader in Bitcoin adoption, financial innovation, and responsible energy development. Our priorities focus on creating a clear, supportive framework both federally and provincially.
-
Bitcoin as a Recognized Asset
We advocate for Canadian banks to formally recognize Bitcoin as an asset class. This would unlock opportunities for Bitcoin-backed lending within financial institutions and enable Canadians to hold Bitcoin in registered accounts such as TFSAs, providing everyday investors with secure, tax-advantaged access to the digital economy.De Minimis Rule for Bitcoin Transactions
To accelerate retail adoption, we support the introduction of a de minimis threshold for Bitcoin transactions. This would set a limit under which everyday purchases made with Bitcoin would not trigger capital gains tax, making it easier for Canadians to use Bitcoin in commerce while reducing compliance burdens for businesses.Bitcoin in Tax-Free Savings Accounts
We propose allowing Bitcoin to be included in tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs), enabling individuals to have direct exposure to Bitcoin and benefit from its profitability without incurring tax liabilities. This would empower everyday Canadians to invest in Bitcoin while maximizing their tax advantages.GST Exemption for Bitcoin Mining Data Centers
We advocate for Bitcoin mining data centers to be exempt from Goods and Services Tax (GST), similar to silver and gold mining in Canada. This change would enhance Canada’s competitiveness as a jurisdiction for data centers, attracting investment and fostering growth in the cryptocurrency mining sector.Federal Support for Bitcoin and Mining
We recommend that the federal government establish a dedicated ministry to support Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining. This ministry would work to reduce red tape, alleviate regulatory burdens, and promote Canada as a competitive business environment for blockchain and cryptocurrency enterprises.
-
Energy Policy Reform
We focus on reducing red tape and removing moratoriums on Bitcoin mining, encouraging provinces to view mining as a strategic opportunity for grid stability, power generation, and high-paying jobs in rural communities.Advancing Economic Investment
We advocate for policies that drive provincial economic investment in Bitcoin mining, targeting regions with underutilized infrastructure and energy capacity to unlock new opportunities for growth and revitalization.Provincial Bitcoin Reserves
We encourage provinces to explore holding strategic Bitcoin reserves as part of their fiscal and energy diversification strategy, strengthening financial sovereignty and positioning Canada as a global leader.Stronger Regulatory Alignment
We work to ensure greater coordination between provincial regulators, fostering consistency across jurisdictions to reduce barriers, increase investor confidence, and create a more predictable environment for businesses expanding into Canada.
