In Germany, Bitcoin and other crypto assets are subject to a one-year holding period under Section 23 of the Income Tax Act, after which sales are tax-free but losses become unusable for tax purposes. The all-time high price on October 6, 2025, marks a key date: any Bitcoin bought then or earlier has passed the one-year period by October 7, 2026, meaning losses from those holdings cannot be claimed on taxes anymore. This affects investors who bought at the peak and now face a roughly 31.7% loss in euros, as these losses no longer reduce tax liabilities. Meanwhile, a draft bill proposes ending the one-year holding period for new crypto purchases after December 31, 2026, replacing it with a flat 25% withholding tax, but this is not yet law. Investors should document their transactions carefully and consider the tax implications before year-end sales or swaps.
