According to the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) bitcoin is an asset or an intangible property, but not a currency. The reason behind this definition is that bitcoin is not issued by central banks. For bitcoin holders, this means that every transaction (buying, selling, investing or even using bitcoin) must be reported to the tax authority, no matter how big the amount is.
