Latest from Block Tax
Block Tax started as a notebook. The tax treatment of digital assets was moving faster than any single firm or regulator could keep up with, and the practitioners who understood it best were the worst at writing about it. So I started writing.
What began as crypto coverage is widening. Tax law is being rewritten in real time around AI services, tokenised treasuries, cross-border data, and the financial plumbing of every emerging-tech business model. The same questions — where is the income, when does it crystallise, who has the right to tax it — keep turning up in new costumes.
Block Tax is the place I'm working those questions out in public. Independent, slow when it needs to be slow, fast when the news demands it. Free to read. No platform money, no client conflicts. The research stack pairs deep practitioner judgement with custom AI tooling built for cross-jurisdiction tax reading.
If you read it and it's useful, the newsletter is how you'll know when something new is up.
