No. If you don't convert your Bitcoins to hard cash, you don't need to pay any tax on it. As long as your investment remains in the form of Bitcoins, the government can't tax you. If you sell your coins within three years from the purchase, then you need to pay regular income tax over it. If your investment is over three years old, then you may only need to pay the long-term capital gains tax.
