  Yes, you should include your cryptocurrency investments in your tax report even if you haven't sold them. The IRS treats cryptocurrencies as property, so any increase in value is subject to capital gains tax. Even if you haven't realized the gains by selling, you still need to report them. Keep track of the purchase price and the current market value to calculate the gains accurately.
