Blocktrainer reported that different positions regarding the planned change in crypto taxation were gradually emerging within the Union, after the responses from members of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group had long been almost identical. Parliamentary group leader Thorsten Frei described the assessment as unclear and simultaneously pointed to the group's responsibility to ensure adequate funding for the federal budget. He did not rule out compromises. CDU member Roderich Kiesewetter, on the other hand, saw no convincing reason to treat Bitcoin differently from gold. He argued that Bitcoin fundamentally differs from traditional investments due to the absence of an issuer, ongoing interest or dividend payments, and the securitization of company shares. He referred to proximity to physical gold or foreign currencies as an appropriate benchmark within the framework of § 23 EStG. CSU member Lenz saw no reason to change the existing regulation, citing the coalition agreement and tax law principles. Felix Schreiner, parliamentary manager of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, described the holding period as sensible because it promotes long-term and self-responsible wealth accumulation. He viewed a blanket abolition critically and announced his intention to advocate for the maintenance of the one-year holding period in the further parliamentary process. Blocktrainer also called on Union representatives to be contacted and to point out the problems it sees with the planned change. #KryptoSteuer #Bitcoin #Bundestag (translated)
