AfD Bitcoin Policy Reaches New Heights in Saxony-Anhalt Election
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party won its strongest regional result yet in the Saxony-Anhalt state election, securing 43.8% of the vote and 39 out of 83 seats in the state parliament.
This breakthrough has reignited debate over Bitcoin taxation and regulation in Europe's largest economy, particularly as Berlin prepares new crypto tax legislation for 2027.
The AfD's national platform calls for 'extensive deregulation' of Bitcoin, digital wallets, and trading, arguing that regulators have been too cautious towards the asset. The party also wants to exclude Bitcoin from the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework entirely.
