The German Free Democratic Party urges the German government to consider Bitcoin as a strategic asset

BlockBeats News, October 29: Germany's main opposition party, the Alternative for Germany (AfD), has officially submitted a motion to the federal parliament opposing excessive regulation of Bitcoin. The motion was submitted on October 23, arguing that Bitcoin is fundamentally different from other cryptocurrencies and should not be included in the European Union's unified cryptocurrency market regulation framework (MiCA).

In the motion, the Alternative for Germany party pointed out that the current tax treatment of Bitcoin is "overall positive," but there is still legal uncertainty that hinders long-term private investment. The party also called on German lawmakers to consider Bitcoin as a strategic asset for national reserves, advocate for maintaining the current tax exemption for 12-month holding periods, keeping Bitcoin exempt from value-added tax, and ensuring individuals' rights to self-custody.
