German policymakers are intensifying efforts to integrate blockchain and Bitcoin into the financial system, with former Finance Minister Christian Lindner proposing measures such as issuing bonds on the blockchain and allowing Bitcoin ETFs in the EU. After seizing 50,000 Bitcoins from a piracy site, the government generated over $2.8 billion but faced criticism as Bitcoin's price surged past $100,000 shortly after the sales. With Bitcoin trading above $90,000 and a pro-Bitcoin administration in the US, Germany is revisiting its Bitcoin strategy to capitalize on missed opportunities.
Christian Lindner, former Finance Minister of Germany, criticized the government's lack of action on Bitcoin and crypto regulation during a Bundestag address, urging for policy reforms to enhance Germany's competitiveness against the U.S. He highlighted missed opportunities and called for the inclusion of Bitcoin in national reserves. While his stance has support within the Free Democratic Party, some experts question his late advocacy after years in office.
Germany's coalition government faces a crisis over the 2025 budget, with Finance Minister Christian Lindner's economic turnaround paper provoking tensions among the SPD, Greens, and FDP. As early elections become a possibility, the SPD's leadership hints at a potential shift in strategy amid poor poll ratings. Meanwhile, Lindner's proposals align closely with CDU/CSU interests, raising questions about future alliances.
