BTC-ECHO and KPMG Launch Crypto Study 2026 – Plus Gift Ideas for Bitcoin Fans

Germany's Largest Crypto Survey Enters Next Round

BTC-ECHO and KPMG have launched the Crypto Study 2026 – a survey on digital assets targeting individuals with concrete crypto experience in the German-speaking region ^[1]. Last year's survey was the largest of its kind with over 2,500 participants ^[1].

The current survey focuses on assessments, expectations, and personal experiences with Bitcoin, blockchain, and digital assets ^[1]. The goal is to paint a precise picture of sentiment regarding the use and significance of digital assets ^[1].

Participation is anonymous and aims to provide valuable insights for market observers and decision-makers ^[1]. After completion of the survey, the results will be published openly ^[1]. According to the initiators, the results should create transparency and reflect the reality of the community ^[1].

Five Gift Ideas for Bitcoin Enthusiasts

Just in time for the Christmas season, BTC-ECHO has also compiled five gift ideas with a crypto connection ^[2].

BTC-ECHO Plus+ Subscription

A BTC-ECHO Plus+ subscription offers access to exclusive analyses, background reports, reports, and interviews for beginners and professionals alike ^[2]. The annual subscription includes a gold-plated crypto coin, available in BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, or DOGE ^[2]. Additionally, subscribers receive access to masterclasses on crypto investments, trading, and DeFi ^[2].

Crypto Tax Software

A premium subscription for crypto tax software can be particularly helpful in Germany, where documentation requirements can quickly become overwhelming ^[2]. After a one-time connection of the wallet to the platform, it automatically captures all transactions ^[2]. For the tax return, the necessary report can then be downloaded and submitted to the tax office ^[2].

Crypto Savings Plan

Savings plans for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies allow regular investment of smaller amounts – without timing stress ^[2]. Thanks to the dollar-cost averaging effect, price fluctuations are reduced, which has historically proven to be a reliable approach ^[2].

Gift Bitcoin Directly

With just a few clicks, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other tokens can be gifted – ideal for beginners ^[2]. As an insider tip, a promotion from the crypto exchange Coinbase is mentioned: new customers who invest 30 euros receive an additional 30 euros in Bitcoin as a gift ^[2].

Hardware Wallet

According to BTC-ECHO, the safest option for storing crypto assets remains a hardware wallet ^[2]. The selection ranges from Ledger to Trezor, NGRAVE, and BitBox ^[2]. Which model is the best fit can be determined through a wallet comparison ^[2].
