When acquiring cryptocurrency with the intention of holding onto it, the tax implications are relatively straightforward.

If you decide to HODL, which is a slang term for holding onto your cryptocurrency, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) does not necessitate you to disclose your crypto purchases on your tax return.

This applies specifically to situations where you have not sold or disposed of your cryptocurrency in any other manner.

By holding onto your crypto, you are essentially off the hook regarding tax reporting for those particular purchases.

The tax event only triggers when you decide to sell your cryptocurrency.
