  Yes, you still need to report your cryptocurrency holdings on your taxes, even if you haven't sold any. The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, so any increase in value is considered a taxable event. You will need to report the fair market value of your holdings on the day you acquired them.

  If you haven't sold any of your cryptocurrency holdings, you may not have any taxable events to report. However, it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to ensure you are meeting all of your reporting obligations.
