On September 1, 2026, a planned Bitcoin fork will change the mining algorithm from SHA-256d to BLAKE2b, rendering current mining hardware incompatible and risking the new chain's viability due to low hash power. Bitcoin holders do not need to move or exchange coins before the fork, but replay protection is optional and wallet support uncertain, raising risks of transaction errors. No major exchanges or wallets have committed to supporting the new chain, so its market value and acceptance remain unclear. German tax law treats any new coins allocated as acquisitions, requiring cost basis apportionment, but valuation challenges exist if no market emerges. The original Bitcoin chain remains unaffected and continues as usual.
