This invitation‑only virtual roundtable is hosted by the Canadian Bitcoin Consortium and convenes a small group of policy, tax, and industry stakeholders to examine how de minimis rules and the current tax treatment of small‑value Bitcoin transactions affect retail adoption.

The session is structured to support candid discussion under Chatham House Rules, with a focus on identifying practical policy approaches that reduce friction while maintaining appropriate safeguards.

The discussion centres on the real operational barrier most businesses raise: the accounting and compliance burden created when merchants must track and potentially report capital gains on everyday, low‑value transactions. The objective is to explore whether a pragmatic threshold approach could better support responsible everyday use, using existing treatment of foreign currency acceptance as a reference point for proportionality.
