Bitcoin: gains attention as Germany offers a tax exemption for long-term holders - 24 Jul 2026

A ChangeNOW post highlights that Germany offers 0% capital gains tax on Bitcoin held for more than one year.The stated treatment changes the after-tax return for Bitcoin holders in Germany who meet the holding-period requirement. By removing capital gains tax after one year, it can make longer holding periods more attractive and strengthen Bitcoin's appeal as an investment asset relative to shorter-term trading.The effect depends on investors qualifying under the rule and choosing to hold long enough to use it. The announcement points to availability of the tax treatment, not evidence of how widely it will be used or how much behavior will change.Sehr gut Deutschland!
