House Markup Weighs Crypto Tax Issues and Alzheimer’s Measures

Why it Matters

The House Ways and Means Committee scheduled a markup hearing for September 16, with an agenda that includes H.R. 10357, the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act; H.R. 10334, the EFIN Verification Act of 2026; H.R. 6130, the Alzheimer's Screening and Prevention (ASAP) Act of 2025; H.R. 5439, the Medically Tailored Home-Delivered Meals Program Pilot Act; H.R. 4093, the Apples to Apples Comparison Act of 2025; and H.R. 10346, which addresses forced labor through cobalt mining.

H.R. 10357, the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act, is a 114-page bill introduced in the House on September 14, 2026, that would eliminate tax on network or transaction fees below $10, though users with more than 5,000 transfers in the prior year would not qualify for the exemption. The agenda also includes H.R. 6130, the Alzheimer's Screening and Prevention (ASAP) Act, which would cover early detection screening tests for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias starting January 1, 2028.

Broader Context

Several organizations have lobbied on measures appearing on the agenda. Acadia Pharmaceuticals reported $700,000 in second-quarter 2026 lobbying expenditures and $600,000 in first-quarter 2026 expenditures, listing the ASAP Act among its lobbied issues in both quarters. Compassion & Choices reported $20,000 in second-quarter 2026 lobbying expenditures, also listing the ASAP Act among its issues. Tufts University reported $40,000 in second-quarter 2026 lobbying expenditures, listing H.R. 5439, the Medically Tailored Home-Delivered Meals Program Pilot Act, among its issues.

The Bottom Line

The cryptocurrency tax bill represents a rapid legislative push: H.R. 10357 was introduced on September 14, referred to the Ways and Means Committee the same day, and scheduled for markup just two days later.
