Meanwhile in Germany: the "Haltefrist" is under attack
A new Bundestag petition has gone live to preserve Germany's one-year tax-free holding period for private Bitcoin sales.
The "Haltefrist" has made Germany one of Europe's most attractive jurisdictions for long-term holders, exempting gains on Bitcoin held longer than twelve months.
Lawmakers are now weighing changes that would strip the exemption and tax every sale.
Find out more at prohaltefrist.de and bitcoinsteuer.lol. Both map out exactly what's at stake for self-custody and capital formation.
This isn't just a German issue. Berlin sets the regulatory tone for Brussels, and bad tax policy spreads fast.
Those in Germany can read up on Petition 201716. It is open for signature until September 15th.
Let your Bundestagsabgeordneter know this matters.
