In Germany, selling Bitcoin at a loss and immediately buying it back realizes the loss for tax deduction but resets the one-year holding period for tax exemption. Crypto assets are treated as private disposal transactions, meaning gains within one year are taxed and losses can offset gains, but after one year, gains and losses are tax-free and unusable respectively. The new purchase starts a fresh holding period, which can cost months of tax-free status, especially for older holdings nearing the one-year mark. Unlike the US, Germany has no wash sale rule, so losses remain deductible even with quick repurchases. Investors must carefully track acquisition dates, costs, and quantities per lot to decide if realizing losses now outweighs losing tax-free gains later. Proper documentation and export of transaction data are essential to prove losses and buybacks to tax authorities. A draft bill may change rules from 2027, adding urgency to current decisions.
