[Alternative for Germany Proposes Recognizing Bitcoin as a Strategic Asset] On October 29, Alternative for Germany (AfD) submitted a motion to the Bundestag opposing excessive regulation of Bitcoin. The motion, submitted on October 23, argues that Bitcoin fundamentally differs from other crypto assets and should not be included in the European unified crypto asset regulatory framework (MiCA). AfD suggests recognizing Bitcoin as a strategic asset for national reserves, maintaining the current 12-month holding period for tax-free gains, exempting it from value-added tax, and ensuring individuals' rights to self-custody. The party believes that the current tax policy is generally positive but legal uncertainties hinder private long-term investments.
