In Germany there's a very simple structure that's commonplace where a UG (a sort of German Ltd) owns shares in a GmbH (a real German Ltd). In that scenario, if both are incorporated at the same time, there's only tax of around 2% if the GmbH is sold.

Higher tax is due when a person withdraws money from the UG, and so on. But for reinvestment in other companies this system is ideal. Unfortunately Germany is also extremely hostile to bitcoin, and we're in the bitcoin space, so incorporating here seems like a bad idea on that front.
