Some would argue that the subject is the crux of the matter; others would argue it is here. You’re not likely to get the two groups to agree. It’s definitely neither then nor is, though.– Janus Bahs JacquetJul 24, 2017 at 10:00

Here, then, is the crux of the matter.
If you rephrase it:
The crux of the matter is here.
I have omitted "then" as it is irrelevant for the answer to your question.
Which is syntactically equivalent to:
The man is here.
Since "the man" is the subject of this sentence, "the crux of the matter" is the subject in the above sentence.
