Is bitcoin legal in Portugal?
Bitcoin is fully legal in Portugal, which implemented the EU's MiCA regulation through Law 69/2025, splitting supervision of crypto-asset services between the securities regulator CMVM and Banco de Portugal. On tax, the 2023 reform ended the old blanket exemption but kept a generous core: gains on crypto held for more than 365 days are generally exempt for individuals, while shorter holdings are taxed at 28 percent, with exceptions for security-like tokens and counterparties in listed tax havens.
