Germany Proposes Bitcoin Reserves, Challenges MiCA Regulation

The German Alternative for Germany (AfD) party recently submitted a motion to the Bundestag on October 24, 2025, proposing Bitcoin be recognized as a distinct digital asset separate from other cryptocurrencies. This proposal opposes applying Europe’s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation to Bitcoin service providers and instead calls for maintaining existing tax exemptions for Bitcoin gains. They also advocate exploring national currency reserves using Bitcoin.
