🇨🇭 SWISS BITCOIN CONFERENCE - Bitcoin is a different asset class Germany's Holding Period DAC8 enforcement Insufficient Transaction Tracking Bitcoin is a different asset class from other crypto-assets 👉 Main Stage | Day II | Saturday 25 Apr | 5:00 PM Tax Panel with colleagues from across the DACH region Some developments in crypto do not come as a surprise. You see them building up over time. And yet once they fully materialize they change how we see Bitcoin and other crypto-assets. Across the DACH region, we are seeing very different approaches - but also a clear common direction: Germany is increasingly questioning the 1-year holding rule. Not because of Bitcoin - crypto-assets are the reason for this political debate. Austria has already shown that even retroactive tax changes are possible. It is fair to say that crypto-assets fall under the capital gains tax (CGT) regime - but not Bitcoin. Switzerland, on the other hand, continues to offer a stable and predictable framework with clear rules and wealth taxation. However, it classifies Bitcoin in the same way as other Crypto-Assets. And then there is what’s coming next: From 2026 DAC8 will introduce automatic reporting by exchanges and brokers. The era of limited transparency is effectively over. Voluntary disclosure is still possible - but the window is closing. Obtaining a tax indemnification for Bitcoin is the best protection for your Bitcoin. In this environment, one thing becomes very clear: structuring is no longer optional - it’s essential. Bitcoin represents generational wealth. Do everything to protect your Bitcoin. Whether assets are held privately or through a corporate structure such as a GmbH is not a theoretical question. It is a case-by-case decision with real consequences - now and in the future. For you and for your heirs. At the same time, we continue to see the same costly mistakes: unclear FIFO applications, fragmented wallet setups and insufficient transaction tracking. Issues that can be avoided - but become critical once transparency increases, especially when Bitcoin is used for real-world value. These are exactly the topics we want to discuss on stage. These are exactly the topics we discuss with our clients every day. Fix the money. Fix the world. 🧢 POV Lugano Plan B
