   I imagine they might wait, to make sure it’s legally obtained Bitcoin.

      In which country would waiting help?

         In Germany at least if you've held the coin(s) for 7 years before selling you don't need to pay tax on the profit.

         Not sure how this applies to donations though, and of course this will almost certainly be changed in the future, .nl is leading the way in taxing _unrealised_ gains; we are sure to follow!

            It's one year, unless something changed recently.
