Germany May Tax Crypto Gains at 25% From 2027

  • —Draft bill would impose a flat 25% tax on crypto gains from 2027
  • —Tax-free treatment after one year would survive only for purchases made by Dec 31, 2026
  • —Crypto stays excluded from Riester, Rürup and the new Altersvorsorgedepot from 2027
  • —Currently, selling BTC after a one-year holding period is entirely tax-free
Why it matters: German holders may accelerate sales before the end of 2026 to lock in gains tax-free.
