I'm wondering if I'm required to pay taxes simply because I own Bitcoin. I'm not sure about the tax regulations related to cryptocurrency ownership.

    For taxation to occur, specific conditions related to these transactions must be met.

    In December 2017, an official announcement categorized profits earned from virtual currency as "miscellaneous income."

    Holding virtual currency itself does not incur any tax obligation.

    This categorization helps in defining how such profits should be taxed.

    Alongside the announcement, the method for calculating tax on these profits was also made public.
