June 14. While Bitcoin’s network design centers on decentralization and censorship resistance, experts are now revisiting these core tenets—given that roughly 42.5% of global hashrate is currently concentrated in the United States. Data shows U.S.-listed public mining companies control about 31.5% of global hashrate, with broader estimates pointing to even higher total influence. Leading mining pool Foundry USA has long held the largest global hashrate share, at one point nearing one-third of the total network capacity on its own.

The 2025 Income Tax Act took effect on April 1, 2026, and its core tax framework remains largely unchanged. On the reporting front: Investors must fill out a dedicated Schedule VDA section in ITR-2 or ITR-3 forms, and provide detailed records for every transaction—including trades, exchanges, transfers, and settlements—instead of just summarizing total gains. Regulatory focus has ramped up sharply: Indian tax authorities will directly pull user-level transaction data from exchanges, custodians, and wallet providers, then automatically cross-check this data against filed decl
