One Year After Bitcoin's Peak, German Tax Rules Stop Recognizing Losses
- —BTC at $82,558, down 34.5% from the $126,080 peak of October 6, 2025
- —Since October 7, 2026, bitcoin sales in Germany are entirely tax-free
- —The exemption cuts both ways: losses can no longer be offset
- —On a €10,000 position, a €3,170 loss has lost its tax value
Why it matters: German investors who bought at the peak have lost the ability to offset losses, which could push them to sell before the deadline.
