Ask HN: Should a German founder with a green card set up a holding company?

In Germany, founders usually hold their shares in a holding company. This has the benefit that at an exit event you only get taxed 5% if you keep the exit money in the holding company. You can make investments (angel, real estate etc) from your holding company. Only when you withdraw money from the holding company you have to pay personal tax.

I am curious do US founders do something similar? Does my situation change because I own a Greencard and will incorporate in the US? Most importantly has anybody recommendations for good German/US lawyers?
