It is April 27, 2026. Thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), the dreaded “Bonus Depreciation Fade-out” has been reversed. While the old law would have seen bonus depreciation drop to 20% this year, the OBBBA has reinstated the 100% immediate expensing for qualifying property.

- The Play: Any qualifying equipment—from server racks for your Article #550 (Sovereign Nodes) to specialized AI hardware—placed in service after January 19, 2025, qualifies for a full 100% deduction in year one.

- The Shark Insight: “This is a gift from the IRS. Instead of amortizing your tech stack over 5 years, you wipe your tax liability today. If you have a high-profit quarter, buy your hardware NOW. You’re essentially using the government’s tax money to fund your infrastructure.”
