An online merchant I frequent will be moving away from credit cards and accepting crypto only. So my question is if I buy crypto on an exchange and immediately (no holding at all) transfer it to the merchant’s wallet do I need to report it?

No, the holding period does not matter for reporting purposes. You will still be required to report the transactions.
Yes. All transactions are reportable. If you purchase and hold it then there is no taxable transactions, however when you convert it, the transaction is reportable.
Examples of disposals include the following:
Trading or selling crypto for fiat currency (like USD)
Trading one crypto for another cryptocurrency
Spending crypto to buy a good or service
So the holding period doesn’t matter?
No, the holding period does not matter for reporting purposes. You will still be required to report the transactions.
