The Dutch government said it will begin taxing unrealized Bitcoin gains from 2028, according to a Techub News brief citing Crypto Briefing. Under the policy, Dutch residents who hold Bitcoin would be required to pay tax on the asset’s annual increase in value even if they have not sold their holdings. The report frames the move as a notable shift in how crypto assets may be treated for tax purposes. Instead of waiting for a sale to trigger taxation, the policy would apply to gains that exist on paper as Bitcoin’s value rises over the course of a year. The brief also said the measure could affect market volatility and may influence broader global trends in cryptocurrency taxation. No additional implementation details were provided in the source text.
