bitcoin.de halts trading for three months awaiting MiCAR licence

  • —Trading on bitcoin.de has been offline since late June 2026 pending MiCAR authorisation
  • —H1 2026 revenue fell to €1.59 million from €3.78 million a year earlier
  • —EBITDA was minus €3.25 million, loss per share €1.02
  • —Liquid funds stood at €3.9 million, own crypto holdings at €199 million
Why it matters: The case shows that even a technically ready venue cannot operate without MiCAR approval, and the timing rests with the regulator, not the company.
