All of the legit Bitcoin-to-cash orgs will report that to the IRS, and then you're back to square one: what do you do with that wad of cash? Orgs that don't report to the IRS probably aren't giving you a good exchange rate, and you're still left holding the bag afterward.

If you're going through all that hassle, it's much easier just to be a cash-only business in the first place.

Keep it in a safe somewhere undisclosed instead of a retail storefront everybody knows is holding a ton of cash, or spend it.

The point is that it moves the cash from the publicly visible location to somewhere nobody knows to rob.
