REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA – The crypto asset industry continues to grow and provides economic contributions that enter state revenues. Recorded, since crypto taxes were implemented in 2022 until February 2026, the state revenue from crypto assets reached Rp 1.96 trillion. “The development of the crypto asset industry contributes to state revenues. The Directorate General of Taxes reported that crypto asset tax revenues in 2025 reached Rp 796.73 billion. And up to February 2026, it reached Rp 1.96 trillion,” said the Head of the Executive for Supervision of Financial Sector Technology Innovation, Digital Financial Assets, and Crypto Assets of OJK, Adi Budiarso, at the Opening Event of the Crypto Literacy Month (BLK) 2026 in Jakarta, Tuesday (7/4/2026). The breakdown of the Rp 1.96 trillion figure comes from Rp 246.54 billion in revenue in 2022, Rp 220.89 billion in 2023, Rp 620.38 billion in 2024, Rp 796.73 billion in 2025, and Rp 84.7 billion up to 2026. The crypto tax revenues consist of PPh 22 amounting to Rp 1.09 trillion and PPN DN amounting to Rp 875.31 billion. It is known that crypto taxes have been in effect in Indonesia since 1 May 2022 as objects of Value Added Tax (PPN) and profits from digital asset trading transactions are subject to Income Tax (PPh). OJK records that the number of crypto consumers or investors in February 2026 broke through 21.07 million. This figure increased by 370,000 investors compared to the previous month of 20.70 million. Meanwhile, the market capitalisation value of crypto transactions in February 2026 was recorded at Rp 23.59 trillion, lower than the previous month’s Rp 27.35 trillion. “So if asked, does the contribution of ABI (Indonesia Blockchain Association) to development exist? Definitely yes. This achievement (crypto trading performance) shows that crypto asset trading activities have become a real part of our society’s economic activities. And therefore, strengthening governance and consumer protection becomes increasingly important for the sustainability of this ecosystem,” Adi explained.
