Germany is moving toward a tax change that would treat Bitcoin more like stocks, in a draft bill aimed at tax-free gains from crypto sales. According to CoinDesk, the proposal would not alter the tax treatment of existing holdings. Those holdings would remain under the current framework, which can allow investors to sell after a 12-month holding period without paying tax. The brief draft detail points to a split approach: new rules for future tax handling, while assets already held would keep the existing standard. No additional provisions, dates, or rates were disclosed in the source summary.
