The Alternative for Germany party urges the German government to consider Bitcoin as a strategic asset.

On October 29, the main opposition party in Germany, the Alternative for Germany (AfD), submitted a formal motion to the Federal Parliament opposing excessive regulation of Bitcoin. The motion was submitted on October 23, arguing that Bitcoin has fundamental differences from other encryption assets and should not be included in the European unified regulatory framework for encryption assets (MiCA). The AfD pointed out in the motion that the current tax treatment of Bitcoin is “generally positive,” but there is still legal uncertainty that hinders private long-term investment. The party also called on German lawmakers to consider viewing Bitcoin as a strategic national reserve asset and advocated for maintaining the existing 12-month holding period for tax-free gains, keeping Bitcoin exempt from value-added tax, and ensuring individual self-custody rights.
