Why Australian Landlords Should Hedge Rental Income with Bitcoin in 2025
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has printed significant amounts of fiat currency over the past decade, especially during COVID stimulus cycles. Combined with global inflationary pressures and rising national debt, the purchasing power of the Australian dollar (AUD) is on a steady decline.
According to the RBA's inflation data, Australia's average inflation rate between 2022 and 2024 hovered around 5–6% annually, meaning AUD-denominated savings lost real-world value every year. This has created an increasingly urgent need for inflation-resistant stores of value—especially for income that's designed to be long-term, like rental earnings.
Bitcoin (BTC), with its fixed supply of 21 million coins, decentralized structure, and growing global adoption, offers an increasingly credible alternative to fiat currencies. Often referred to as 'digital gold', Bitcoin has outperformed nearly every traditional asset class over the past decade.
For landlords, Bitcoin offers: Scarcity-backed value (only 21 million BTC)
Borderless liquidity and international recognition
Inflation resistance over long holding periods
Platforms like Bitcoin Landlords now make it practical, secure, and hands-off for property owners to convert a portion of their rent into Bitcoin each month—without needing crypto knowledge or exchange accounts.
Bitcoin Landlords is a first-of-its-kind service built specifically for Australian landlords. It allows you to automatically convert rent (weekly, fortnightly, or monthly) into Bitcoin and have it delivered directly to your non-custodial wallet—all without touching a crypto exchange.
Here's how it works Collect rent from tenants as usual. Nominate a portion (e.g. 10%, 25%, 50%) to be converted into Bitcoin. Bitcoin Landlords handles OTC conversion at low fees (0.16–0.32%) and sends BTC directly to your wallet.

Traditional real estate is known for slow but stable capital appreciation, whereas Bitcoin offers high-risk, high-return potential over the long term. By allocating just a small percentage of rental income into BTC each month, landlords gain diversified exposure to digital assets—without compromising their core property business.
This combo can Reduce dependence on fiat returns
Offset inflationary pressures
Offer asymmetric upside in a maturing asset class
Bitcoin Landlords is non-custodial, meaning you hold the private keys to your Bitcoin. It's also built with Australian tax and compliance considerations in mind.
Every client receives Personal onboarding session

Australia's improving crypto regulation framework
Weakening fiat returns in real estate rental markets
Rising landlord awareness of wealth preservation tools
Getting in now lets you accumulate Bitcoin gradually and securely, before wider adoption makes competition fiercer and onboarding costs rise.
1. How does Bitcoin Landlords help hedge against inflation? By converting part of your rent into Bitcoin, you store value in a deflationary, scarce asset instead of AUD, which continues to lose purchasing power due to inflation.
2. Is this suitable for new Bitcoin users? Yes. Bitcoin Landlords provides full support, including wallet setup, education, and step-by-step onboarding.
3. Can I control how much rent is converted into Bitcoin? Absolutely. You can set any amount—weekly, fortnightly, or monthly—and adjust it anytime.
4. Do I need to change my rent collection method? No. You continue collecting rent as usual. Bitcoin Landlords fits around your existing process.
5. Are there tax considerations in Australia? Yes, capital gains tax (CGT) may apply when Bitcoin is sold. We provide awareness but recommend consulting a tax professional. See ATO crypto tax guide.
Landlords across Australia are waking up to the real cost of inflation. Instead of watching rental income sit idle in depreciating fiat, services like Bitcoin Landlords offer a smarter way to diversify into Bitcoin—passively, securely, and with full control.

Ethics panel: Pennsylvania Republican violated code of conduct with spouse's stock trades
The House Ethics Committee 'found substantial evidence' that Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) violated the code of conduct for the lower chamber when his wife profited off stock trades for a company the congressman was focusing on in Washington. The report — which spans 28 pages and has three packets of supporting documents — cleared Kelly of intentionally causing his wife to trade based on insider information and having a conflict of interest, determining there wasn't evidence to prove those two wrongdoings. But the panel found that Kelly, a member of the powerful Ways and Means Committee, breached the House's code of conduct 'by failing to meet his duty of candor.' The committee ordered he and his wife to divest their investments in Cleveland-Cliffs, the steel manufacturer at the center of the report. 'Representative Kelly's conduct with respect to Cleveland-Cliffs and his wife's stock purchase raised significant concerns for the Committee, even if it did not rise to the level of insider trading or clearly violate conflict of interest rules,' the committee wrote, later adding Kelly 'has not demonstrated sufficient appreciation for the harm to the institution caused by the appearance of impropriety.' The panel's investigation focuses on a series of trades of Cleveland-Cliffs stock that Kelly's wife, Victoria, made in the last five years. Cleveland-Cliffs in 2020 acquired AK Steel, which is the sole producer of grain oriented electrical steel (GOES) in the U.S. GOES is produced in Butler, Pa., a town in Kelly's district. In early 2020, Cleveland-Cliffs had said it may have to close the Butler location and lay off employees if the Trump administration did not implement Section 232 tariffs, which would protect the production of GOES in the U.S. Kelly took part in actions in Washington to address the matter. On April 28 of that year, the Commerce Department told Cleveland-Cliffs — and Kelly learned — it would begin a Section 232 investigation for some GOES-based steel products, according to the report. The next day, the panel learned, Victoria Kelly bought 5,000 shares of Cleveland-Cliffs stock for $23,075. The investigation was announced on May 4. The committee said it was unable to determine if Victoria Kelly was made aware of the development before making the trade. But, the congressman was working from home at the time after testing positive for COVID-19 and told the committee 'Mrs. Kelly would've heard any of my conversations,' adding that she 'sits around for most of the time I'm on the phone,' according to the report. The panel said it could definitely determine if she heard the conversation. The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, enacted in 2012, prohibits members and staff from engaging in insider trading using information learned in official capacities. While Kelly was interviewed as part of the investigation, his wife 'refused to participate in a voluntary interview or to respond to written questions from the Committee, citing her prior cooperation with document requests as well as health concerns,' according to the report. The Congressman also said his wife did not want to speak to the committee because she felt the process was 'invasive.' 'The Committee did not receive full cooperation from Mrs. Kelly and was therefore unable to determine whether her stock purchase was improper,' the report reads. The panel did, however, find that the investment in Cleveland-Cliffs 'was an outlier' in her portfolio, noting that unlike other trades that were made at her firm's discretion, that transaction 'had to be instructed and confirmed directly by Mrs. Kelly in order for the transaction to be completed because it was not on PNC's investment platform.' The move marked her first purchase of individual stock in a year, according to the report, and was different from the mainly funds and bonds on her account. Kelly said he believed his wife made the transaction because 'she thought the stock was so low priced, it'd be foolish not to… I know that she thought she made a hell of a buy.' In August 2020, however, Kelly's office told a local news outlet inquiring about the purchase that it was made 'to show her support for the workers and management of this 100-year old bedrock of their hometown, where they both are life-long residents.' The second transaction examined by the committee was made in January 2021, shortly after Cleveland-Cliffs in December 2020 acquired a steel manufacturing corporation that caused its stock to skyrocket in value. Victoria Kelly that month sold all her shares in the company for $87,551.06, turning a $64,476.06 profit. 'None of the witnesses interviewed by OCC or the Committee, including Representative Kelly, provided an explanation for why Mrs. Kelly chose to sell her stock at that time. Representative Kelly told the Committee he did not speak with Mrs. Kelly about the sale at any point,' the report reads. Then in June 2024, Kelly disclosed that his wife purchased between $50,000 and $100,000 in shares of Cleveland-Cliffs back in March, as the congressman's office was involved in a matter involving the company and the Department of Energy. In March, the Energy Department made a decision on the matter that protected the facility in Butler. As a result of the findings, the panel recommended that Kelly and his wife 'divest all of Cleveland-Cliffs stock should he continue to take official actions relating to the company.' 'It is rare for the Committee to recommend divestment of stocks where there is a potential appearance of a conflict of interest. As Representative Kelly himself noted, however, he is an 'insider' when it comes to Cleveland-Cliffs, by virtue of his position as the representative for his district,' the report reads. In a statement responding to the Ethics report, Kelly said: 'This investigation has unnecessarily lasted for nearly five years.' 'In the years since this investigation began, the Cleveland Cliffs Butler Works plant faced an uncertain future due to the Biden administration's reckless energy policies. Throughout this process, I have fought for the 1,400 workers at the plant, I've spoken with these workers, and they appreciate the hard work we have done to fight for those jobs and for Butler. My family and I look forward to putting this distraction behind us,' he added.

Trump floats tariff 'rebate' for consumers. That could be a challenge, experts say
President Donald Trump said the administration is considering a rebate for some consumers from revenue raised by higher tariffs on U.S. trade partners. When asked by a reporter on Friday at the White House about a possible rebate for Americans from tariff revenue, Trump said: "We're thinking about that. We have so much money coming in, we're thinking about a little rebate." "The big thing we want to do is pay down debt," Trump said. "But we're thinking about a rebate." "A little rebate for people of a certain income level might be very nice," he said. It's unclear whether a rebate could happen without Congressional approval. If enacted, it's unknown whether the rebate would come via stimulus checks or another form of tax relief, experts say. More from Personal Finance:Student loan forgiveness may soon be taxed againWhat the Fed's interest-rate decision could mean for your moneyHow to lower capital gains on your home sale as Trump eyes ending the tax "It's kind of unlikely that they would go ahead and do that," said Tax Foundation senior economist Alex Durante. "But I wouldn't put anything past this administration." The Treasury Department reported an unexpected surplus for June, with a boost from tariff revenue. Customs duties totaled roughly $27 billion for the month, compared to $23 billion in May. The duties reflect a 301% gain from June 2024. Trump's rebate idea comes as a chorus of lawmakers and policy experts voice concerns about the federal budget deficit. "I don't think [a rebate] would be particularly good policy," Durante said. "I would prefer that the revenue was used for deficit reduction rather than just cutting checks to people." Enacted in early July, Trump's "one big beautiful" tax-and-spending package could add an estimated $3.4 trillion to the deficit through 2034, according to a conventional score released by the Congressional Budget Office this week. The motivation for sending the direct payments would be different than they were during the Covid pandemic, when many households were losing income or unable to work, said Joseph Rosenberg, senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center's tax and income supports division. Now, the federal government is imposing tariffs that will cost U.S. households, and this would be a way of helping those individuals and families, Rosenberg said. Because Congress just passed the very expensive "big beautiful" budget and tax legislation, rebates to individuals could exacerbate the effects on the federal budget deficit, he said. The rebates would reinforce the inflationary effects of the tariffs that already exist, Rosenberg said. "People will go out and spend some of that money, and that would further put upward pressure on prices and probably magnify inflationary effects," Rosenberg said. Pandemic-era fiscal stimulus contributed to an increase in inflation of about 2.6 percentage points in the U.S., according to 2023 research from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
