If you are a U.S. citizen or resident you are subject to
U.S. income tax on all of your worldwide income. It sounds
as though you have a short term capital gain from this
transaction. It is subject to U.S. tax. If it is also
subject to tax in Bulgaria, you should get credit against
your U.S. income tax liability for the tax you paid to
Bulgaria.
