  When reporting your digital currency investments on Form 8949, you need to provide the following information: 1. Date of acquisition: The date you acquired the digital currency. 2. Date of sale: The date you sold or disposed of the digital currency. 3. Proceeds: The amount you received from the sale or disposal of the digital currency. 4. Cost basis: The original cost of acquiring the digital currency, including any fees or commissions. 5. Gain or loss: The difference between the proceeds and the cost basis. Make sure to report each transaction separately and accurately. It's also a good idea to keep detailed records of your digital currency transactions for reference and to consult with a tax professional if you have any doubts or questions.
