I've been investing in cryptocurrency for a while now, and I'm just curious about something. If I haven't sold any of my crypto assets, do I still need to report them for taxes or any other purposes? I understand that crypto transactions are supposed to be reported, but what about the assets that I'm just holding onto? Do they fall under the same regulations? I'm trying to make sure I'm compliant with all the rules, but I'm also not sure if I'm obligated to report assets that haven't been sold. Could you please clarify this for me?

For Bitcoin specifically, tax obligations arise when you dispose of the coins, such as selling them for fiat currency or trading them for other cryptocurrencies.

If you simply hold Bitcoin without selling, you generally don't have to report it to the tax authorities.

However, if you acquire cryptocurrency through staking, a hard fork, an airdrop, or any other method besides purchasing it, you may be required to report the value of those coins, even if you haven't sold them.
