Question

I won small fractions of bitcoin via cashhapp trivia competition and have been sent a 1099-MISC. I have not bought/sold any crypto at all. Why would I get a 1099-MISC?

When you sell the bitcoin (BTC), you will have a taxable gain of loss that will be the difference between the sale price and amount on your 1099-MISC, so keep your records.
