The government in the Netherlands has decided that holding #Bitcoin and #Crypto in self-custody will be taxed for 36% unrealized capital gains. This is the current plan, and it’s not law. At least for the years 2028 and 2029. The same principle will be applied for precious metals like Gold and Silver. However, holding the same in a fund won't be applied to this taxing policy and will only be applicable for realized gains. From a personal perspective, we're against the new rule of Box 3 and would think that the government needs to go back to the drawing board.
