A letter proposed by U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren addressed to President Joe Biden has been circulating online, proposing a wealth tax on cryptocurrency holders and mandatory reporting to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).&nbsp; 
This letter, allegedly advocating for a “Cryptocurrency Reporting and Wealth Tax Act,” has however raised doubts regarding the authenticity of the letter, sparking discussions and concerns within the cryptocurrency community. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-doubts-about-the-letter-s-authenticity">Doubts About the Letter’s Authenticity</h2> 
The letter which seems to be genuine at first glance, advocates for mandatory reporting of cryptocurrency holdings exceeding $1,000 to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Additionally, it suggests imposing a 1% wealth tax on holdings over $500,000 for individuals and entities.&nbsp; 
The proposed legislation emphasizes transparency and tax compliance in the cryptocurrency space while aiming to balance innovation and fairness. 
Despite the initial alarm, doubts quickly arose regarding the authenticity of the letter. Dennis Porter, CEO and Co-founder of the Satoshi Action Fund highlighted several discrepancies that cast doubt on the letter’s legitimacy.&nbsp; 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> 
 In a post on X, Porter noted, “Apparently this recent Warren letter suggesting a <a href="https://x.com/Dennis_Porter_/status/1782375389928497172">1% tax </a>and mandatory reporting is fake. Check her misspelled name at the bottom. It’s also not on her website.” 
</blockquote> 
This observation led to growing scepticism within the cryptocurrency community. 
Porter expressed scepticism about the plausibility of such a proposal, stating, “The sad part is that it is beyond believable that she would make these types of policy suggestions.”&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-closer-look-at-the-proposed-act">A Closer Look at the Proposed Act</h2> 
The alleged letter proposed mandatory annual reporting of cryptocurrency holdings exceeding $1,000 and a 1% wealth tax on holdings over $500,000. The letter intended to address wealth inequality and enhance tax compliance in the cryptocurrency space.&nbsp; 
However, these proposals seemed extreme and raised questions about their feasibility and alignment with existing regulatory frameworks.&nbsp; 
Nonetheless, the voice cooled down as the proposed 1% wealth tax letter turned out to be a hoax, and the underlying themes of regulatory oversight and wealth inequality remain relevant. The IRS has shown increasing interest in taxing cryptocurrencies, and there has been growing chatter around regulatory measures targeting digital assets.&nbsp; 
However, the extreme nature of the proposed wealth tax and mandatory reporting suggests that such legislation is unlikely to pass in its current form.
