Tax revenue from Indonesia’s crypto sector has reportedly reached Rp 1.96 trillion since the digital asset tax policy was implemented on May 1, 2022. Based on data from the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) under the Ministry of Finance as of early April 2026, this figure has increased from Rp 1.93 trillion in January 2026, reflecting an additional Rp 30 billion collected over the past month.

This increase signals that crypto asset trading activity in Indonesia continues to grow, while also indicating improved tax compliance among industry participants.

Timeline and Breakdown of Crypto Tax Revenue

According to DJP reports, crypto tax contributions have shown consistent growth since their introduction. The breakdown is as follows:

• 2022: Rp 246.54 billion
• 2023: Rp 220.89 billion
• 2024: Rp 620.38 billion
• 2025: Rp 796.73 billion
• Early 2026: Rp 84.7 billion

Out of the total Rp 1.96 trillion, Rp 1.09 trillion comes from Article 22 Income Tax (PPh 22) on crypto transactions. Meanwhile, Rp 875.31 billion is derived from domestic Value Added Tax (VAT).

This data shows that digital asset trading is becoming increasingly integrated into the national taxation system, alongside rising transaction volumes and investor participation.

Industry Seen as Healthier and More Structured

Industry players have welcomed the rise in tax revenue. Tokocrypto’s Chief Financial Officer, Sefcho Rizal, stated that the trend reflects a balance between industry growth and regulatory compliance.

“The increase in tax revenue from the crypto sector shows that the industry is developing in a healthier and more structured direction. This is evident not only from transaction volumes but also from the growing awareness among industry players and users in fulfilling their tax obligations,” Sefcho said in an official statement on Friday (April 3, 2026).

He added that this trend also reflects the increasing maturity of Indonesia’s crypto ecosystem, where businesses are adopting more transparent and regulation-compliant practices.

Impact on the Ecosystem and Future Policy

The government reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening oversight and expanding the tax base in the digital economy sector, including crypto. This aims to improve compliance while optimizing state revenue.

In addition, collaboration between industry players, regulators, and tax consultants is seen as key to improving tax literacy among crypto users. These efforts are expected to create a more transparent, sustainable, and credible ecosystem in the eyes of global investors.

More broadly, the rising crypto tax trend may also serve as a positive signal to regulators that current policies are effective without hindering industry growth.

Conclusion

With total revenue reaching Rp 1.96 trillion in less than four years, Indonesia’s crypto sector has shown significant progress not only in transaction activity but also in regulatory compliance.

If this trend continues, the crypto sector has the potential to become a key contributor to state revenue from the digital economy, while strengthening Indonesia’s position as one of the largest crypto markets in Southeast Asia.
