The central point of contact for obtaining the tax holding period for cryptocurrencies
The discussion about the tax treatment of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has taken on a new dynamic in Germany.
Several political players are calling for the abolition of the current one-year holding period and thus a fundamental change in the tax treatment of crypto assets. At the same time, there is a growing desire within the Bitcoin and crypto community for objective clarification of the possible consequences of such a reform.
The ProHaltefrist.de platform was created with this in mind.
An initiative from the Bitcoin and crypto community
Under the motto:
“Maintain the holding period – protect savers”
the initiative is committed to maintaining the existing tax holding period for cryptocurrencies.
The initiative is supported by supporters from the German Bitcoin and crypto community. These include companies, media, YouTubers, influencers, associations, communities and numerous private supporters who are working together to preserve the existing regulation.

Among other things, visitors will find information on:
