Frank Schäffler wrote that Roderich Kiesewetter (CDU) had responded to a citizen's inquiry regarding the holding period for Bitcoin. Kiesewetter pointed out that Bitcoin has no issuer, pays no interest or dividends, and does not represent a share in a company. Therefore, Bitcoin is classified for tax purposes, as it has been since 2013, alongside gold and foreign currencies under § 23 EStG; equating it with stocks ignores the nature of these assets. Schäffler agreed with the response and wrote that punishing long-term savings weakens the middle class, while broken tax promises cost trust. In his assessment, the responses from the Union faction showed that the draft proposal there did not have a secure majority. He added that those who had not yet written to their representatives should do so now. #Bitcoin #Haltefrist #EStG #Bitcoin #Steuern #Finanzen (translated)
