From BlockFi Website:

If you’re a US taxpayer with reportable income, BlockFi may provide you with two separate reports related to your BlockFi Interest Account (BIA) and any trading activity you performed throughout the year.

According to the IRS, earning income on crypto is considered a taxable event in the US, and cryptocurrencies are generally treated as property (similar to gold or shares in publicly owned companies) for tax purposes. That means that interest paid to you on crypto assets are payments of property, making them subject to reporting through the 1099-Miscellaneous (also known as the 1099-MISC) form. Please note, only US taxpayers who have earned more than $600 of interest and bonuses in 2020 will have a 1099-MISC form, which will be available for download by January 31, 2021.

Additionally, US taxpayers who have traded during 2020 will receive a 1099-B form used to report activity. This report will be made available for download by February 15, 2021.
