American businesses that receive payments in cryptocurrencies worth $10,000 or more will have to report those transactions to the Internal Revenue Service, the United States' Treasury mentioned on Thursday.

This simply puts crypto-coins on the same footing as cash: the IRS says "Federal law requires a person to report cash transactions of more than $10,000," we note.

The Treasury's announcement about Bitcoin et al just says "Businesses" in its fairly vaguely worded, one-sentence announcement, though we imagine that'll be expanded at some point to person when this is all formalized.
