Strike introduced the ability to pay bills using your bitcoin balance.

This is amazing. I was incredibly excited about it until I looked at how it works. Strike converts your bitcoin, gives it to your account, then uses those dollars to pay your bill. This causes a taxable event. I would have much more preferred Strike to exchange my bitcoin for a service of paying a bill for me. I understand that they would have to report the received bitcoin as income, but then they would have an expense that matches that income so it would be a wash for them.
