  Yes, you are required to include your cryptocurrency holdings when filling out a W9 form. The IRS considers digital assets as property, and they are subject to taxation. Failure to report your cryptocurrency holdings can result in penalties and legal consequences. It's important to consult with a tax professional to ensure accurate reporting.
