Germany's finance ministry proposes ending the one-year tax-free holding period for Bitcoin acquired after December 31, 2026, replacing it with a flat-rate withholding tax. This change affects how investors choose between lump-sum purchases, savings plans, or exchange-traded securities, each with different tax implications and risks. The cabinet is set to adopt the draft bill on October 14, but final approval depends on the Bundestag and Bundesrat. Investors must also keep detailed records due to new reporting obligations and potential substitute tax assessments without proof of acquisition costs.
