What Members of the U.S. House of Representatives from the 116th Session of Congress Support Crypto?
Below is a list of all U.S. house members from the 116th session of congress and whether they are supportive of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. You can also view crypto stances broken down by house committees.
Not only is crypto a valuable tool for tax evasion, money laundering, and other criminal activity, the data centers it requires can impact our air, water, and electricity bills. Crypto-miners have actually cost Texans millions when they have to be paid to conserve energy during disasters and heat waves.
We should at least be able to learn the extent of their energy use and environmental damage. But in rejecting my amendment to their crypto tax breaks bill, GOP made clear their view that what you don’t know, can’t hurt you.

@RepJasonSmith discusses the bipartisan passage of new tax legislation for digital assets, which cleared the committee with a 38–5 vote. @jsolomonReports@AmandaHead

NEW: A group of seven Senate Democrats, including @gillibrandny, @MarkWarner, @SenRubenGallego and @Sen_Alsobrooks, say they are “committed to working in a bipartisan fashion” to pass the Clarity Act.
The statement comes amid early efforts to restart bipartisan talks and gauge the appetite on both sides for returning to the table and getting the Clarity Act passed before the end of the year, according to three sources familiar with the discussions.
Today, I was proud to pass the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act out of the Ways and Means Committee, providing the first ever tax framework for digital assets.
Providing greater certainty in our tax code for the treatment of digital assets is critical to ensuring the United pital of the world, and I appreciate that his was a strong, bipartisan effort that has tremendous economic and innovative potential for our nation.
With soaring prices from Trumpflation, tariff taxes, and a reckless war, Americans are hardly prioritizing new tax breaks for crypto.
Crypto poses the same threat to our financial system as kryptonite to Superman. Yet after spending a quarter of a billion dollars in the last congressional election, benefiting some and intimidating many, the crypto industry got the preferential tax treatment they wanted. And Republicans crafted their bill to ensure that Trump can continue to rake in billions from crypto by trading off the public trust. I spoke out forcefully against this corrupt wrong.

Today, the Ways and Means Committee advanced legislation that builds on the work I started with the PARITY ACT to modernize outdated tax rules and put stronger protections in place for consumers and investors. Digital assets can help more Americans build wealth, but only if we accountability, and a system that works for everyday people, not just those at the top. That’s what I’ll keep fighting for.
I'm proud to support the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act, which passed @WaysandMeansGOP today.
Digital assets are an increasingly important part of our economy, and the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act allows our tax code to keep pace with innovation. This legislation provides a clear roadmap for Americans who use digital assets, and it establishes rules of the road for taxation and enforcement without granting special treatment.
The Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act also includes my legislation, the Charitable Deductions for Digital Asset Donations Act, which would allow for widely traded digital assets to be eligible for charitable contributions.
Watch my full remarks
Digital assets have evolved. Our tax code needs to catch up. Today’s bipartisan vote moves us closer to clear, workable tax rules for everyday transactions, including qualifying stablecoins and small network and transaction fees. I’ve worked to make sure this framework delivers clarity while putting basic guardrails in place. politico.com/live-updates/2…
If America wants to remain the crypto capital of the world, we need clear rules of the road that encourage innovation.
Today, @WaysandMeansGOP advanced the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act, marking an important first step toward delivering a tax code built for today’s modern economy.
Three months ago, I told the Ways and Means Committee we needed to get digital asset tax policy right, not just get it done. Today, after months of bipartisan work, the committee advanced H.R. 10357 by a 38-5 vote. I was proud to cosponsor the bill and help move this forward.

PASSED: The Ways and Means Committee just passed the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act — a historic step toward establishing a clear tax framework for digital assets.
Through strong bipartisan collaboration, Republicans and Democrats came together to modernize outdated tax rules p pace as digital assets become part of everyday life for millions of Americans, putting them on a level playing field with traditional financial assets.
With the benefit of hindsight, GENIUS released pressure necessary to force a decisive vote on the President's full digital asset executive order.
While stablecoins have partially passed, what remains? Protect self-custody, completely ban CBDC, pass market structure (Clarity).
are essential. Perhaps both can be leveraged to restore focus to Clarity and pass the full agenda by year end?
After all, the only Congress we control is the one we're in...
PS: Plenty of pro-cryto Republicans shared my concerns on strategy and, like me, opposed GENIUS because it was and remains incomplete.
Rep. HORSFORD touting that W&M is marking up reversal of OBBB’s tax hike on gamblers tomorrow - as part of crypto tax package
Big issue for Nevada members
The crypto bill could get a significant bipartisan vote tomorrow, sources in both parties say
I've opposed the crypto industry's #CLARITYAct and every prior draft from day one.
Its loopholes for illicit finance and failure to prevent the President from profiting off his own crypto were never things the administration or crypto industry actually intended to fix.
Pleased to see a majority of the Senate saw through it today and voted NO.
Today, I voted no on the Clarity Act, legislation meant to regulate cryptocurrency in America.
The ethics provisions in this bill are simply too thin. President Trump, his children, and his Cabinet are making billions of dollars in the crypto space, in part from bilking everyday Americans out of their hard-earned money. I cannot in good conscience vote for any legislation that codifies that behavior from public officials. Not for President Trump or Secretary Lutnick today, nor for any Democrat who may take advantage of it in the future.
On the national security front, there is more to be done to make sure we have the tools in place to stop money laundering and shut down funding avenues for terrorists and nations like North Korea and Iran. This was essential after 9/11 and remains essential to keep Americans safe.
And as of now, our agencies, including the CFTC, lack the necessary oversight and staffing to implement this legislation, and that should be addressed.
There are strong, bipartisan provisions in this bill that could serve as the foundation for a new attempt at providing the crypto industry with the guardrails it needs. I believe that the U.S. should lead the world in cryptocurrency innovation, but we need to get it right. I remain open-minded to that work ahead.
America should LEAD the future of crypto. The CLARITY Act sets clear rules, protects consumers, and encourages innovation here at home.
The Senate must advance it. Let’s lead!
The Senate has held on to the Clarity Act for far too long. It is time to take action to ensure stability and innovation in digital assets for years to come.
Today’s @HouseSmallBiz hearing is examining how digital assets are giving America’s small businesses new ways to reach customers and compete in the modern economy.
Small business owners have always adapted to new technology to stay ahead. Our job is to clear the path and make sure Main Street has the resources to succeed.
Great to join my friend Kristin Smith, President of Solana Policy Institute, yesterday.
Great to chat about all the good work happening under @POTUS and @RepFrenchHill. The United States continues leading the world in digital assets innovation.
I'm drafting a bill to regulate Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) as counterfeit money. Planning a CBDC? Conspiracy. Designing a CBDC? Same as designing counterfeit plates. Launching CBDC? Counterfeiting.
Prison for counterfeiters and their accomplices. No CBDC!
Scammers stole $11.4 billion through cryptocurrency fraud in 2025 — a 22 percent increase from 2024. Congress is considering a bill that could weaken states' ability to stop crypto scams, including the ability of state attorneys general to crack down on scams and hold scammers accountable.
I've joined a bipartisan coalition of 16 attorneys general in opposing this bill. States have shut down over 330 crypto schemes since 2017. Congress must preserve states' enforcement authority to protect consumers from cryptocurrency fraud.

Section 305 of the Clarity Act needs removed before passage.
Section 305 lets exchanges and stablecoin issuers pause a suspicious transaction for 30 days, extendable to 180 days on a written request from law enforcement. Companies get a safe harbor from civil lawsuits if they ith. Customers may get little or no timely notice or chance to contest the freeze in court first. Effectively, civil asset forfeiture.
The right to transact pre-dates government. It should not be infringed without due process or informed consent.
To abridge this right, they are working to make all payments account-based and permissioned. This completely defeats the point of crypto: permission-less, peer-to-peer payments at the speed of light.
News: W&M R’s are planning to include a reversal of OBBB’s tax hike on gamblers in their crypto tax package, which they’re expected to mark up next Wednesday
It would resemble Max Miller/Horsford bill to revive the bigger deduction for losses. Package would also include many of the bills from W&M’s legislative hearing on crypto tax

The Gizmodo article below, titled “Crypto Industry’s CLARITY Act Faces Major Setback,” speaks for itself.

@RepFrenchHill and our colleagues on the @FinancialCmte have passed HISTORIC digital assets legislation. The House did its job more than a year ago by passing the nonpartisan Clarity Act. It's time for the Senate to ACT.
Interest rates have two components: time value of money and default risk. If central planners set rates artificially low, inflation goes higher. If markets set rates, they rise to ensure 1) the money lent buys the same amount of stuff when it is repaid (TVM) and 2) default risk the long run, markets set rates.
Default risk higher. TVM higher. Rates will be higher.
Stablecoins may provide some reliefby increasing demand for Treasuries. Stablecoins are theoretically more secure than fractional reserve banking, but yield needs to flow to the bearer for that to be true. Thus the fight about stablecoin yield...
Under Chairman Hill’s leadership, the Financial Services Committee is advancing policies that strengthen capital formation, expand access to capital, and reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens.
At today’s @FinancialCmte hearing, I questioned financial and technology experts about regulatory certainty facing their industries, capital formation, the surge in U.S. IPO activity, and how the GENIUS Act is protecting consumers while encouraging digital asset innovation. Watch:
As a member of the @FinancialCmte I’m working to provide clear rules of the road for digital assets.
The CLARITY Act gives innovators and investors greater certainty while establishing a clear regulatory framework for our markets.

Ok, let me be more precise than @grok was, since several people seem to be missing the point cleverly made by @luke_broyles.
Scott has an income of $55,000 per year.
The US collects roughly $5.5 trillion in revenue (taxes, tariffs, etc)
Scott spends $75,000 per year ($10,000 on guns).
The US spend roughly $7.5 trillion per year, more than $1 trillion on Defense.
Scott grows his debt by $20,000 per year.
Total federal debt is growing exponentially, by about $2 trillion per year.
Scott has total debt right now of $400,000.
The US currently has $40 trillion in debt.
Scott has fixed unfunded liabilities of $1,750,000 and is less than 10 years from retirement.
Unfunded liabilities are promises to pay in the future, like Social Security.
Scott's own employees say that his 130% debt will be 690% by the year 2096.
CBO says nothing stops this train, and it's accelarating.
Scott needs to refinance roughly $100,000 in the next 12 months to stay solvent.
Bonds have a maturity date. The US must redeem the bond for its face value. We have no money, so more debt is needed.
What is happening now? Scott has a Japanese friend who is his biggest lender (despite being in even more debt) that just told Scott he might need to unwind $110,000 of Scott's debt to the open market. Therefore Scot sent his Japanese friend "$50-$100" this summer to keep him calm and ask him to not dump the debt.
This is a reference to US actions to deter Japan from dumping Treasuries.
The credit card companies Scott borrows from are refusing to give him cheap debt anymore, and are giving him 19 year highs on interest rates. Scott said on August 19th that because nobody is buying his credit card debt that he will "at least double" the rate he is buying back his own credit card debt with new debt he takes out.
This part relates to Scott Bessent's plan to monetize the debt. Since there are not enough buyers, the Treasury plans to buy back it's own debt. Circle...
The credit card companies didn't like that and offered him even higher rates 24 hours later.
Lenders correctly see this as a sign of distress, making default on the outstanding debt more likely. Consequently, market rates are moving higher.
Sound money is essential to defending freedom. We don't have sound money. Consequences will get worse. Make a plan. Luke's plan is Bitcoin.
.@USComptroller: Digital asset innovation is flourishing under @POTUS & @SecScottBessent. More than half of @USOCC applications received for new bank charters are related to digital assets – an eightfold increase from the Biden Administration.
