Crypto Tax Basics: What 21bitcoin Users Need to Know
Tax rules for crypto vary across jurisdictions. These three principles apply broadly to 21bitcoin users, but always verify the specifics with your local tax authority or a qualified advisor.
Trading crypto is a taxable disposal
In most countries, every sale, swap or use of Bitcoin is a taxable event. Capital gains tax applies to the difference between what you paid (cost basis) and what you received. Transfers between your own wallets do not trigger tax.
21bitcoin is Bitcoin-only β but the rules still apply
Even though 21bitcoin only offers Bitcoin, every disposal is a taxable event in most jurisdictions. However, long-term holding rules can work in your favour: in Germany, Bitcoin held for more than 1 year is fully tax-free on disposal. This makes 21bitcoin's savings plans particularly attractive for long-term, tax-conscious investors β CoinTracking tracks the holding period for every individual purchase automatically.
Records are your responsibility
21bitcoin operates under BaFin and EU regulation and does not issue formal tax documents. The CSV export is a raw transaction export β not a tax report. Accurate records of every purchase, sale, date, cost and proceeds remain your responsibility. From 2026, EU-regulated exchanges including 21bitcoin are required under DAC8 to report user transaction data to national tax authorities. CoinTracking maintains a complete, dated audit trail of every 21bitcoin transaction you import.
