I've seen this news recently: https://www.investopedia.com/news/bitcoin-tax-looms-irs-orders-coinbase-turn-over-user-data/ And now I'm worried about my tax report for the next year. I've bought 1 Bitcoins at Coinbase last February and I still hold them. Should I report this as my asset? Or should I just ignore it?

My understanding is that tax will only applied if you start converting your Bitcoin to fiat then those converted fiat will be your income which will be an income tax that need to be declared but in your case you are just holding Bitcoin  so reporting it as an asset will be an appropriate and will be taxed only after changing it to fiat.
