The use of a Bible for taking the oath of a US office is not a requirement outlined in the constitution.

Since when do presidents get sworn in without putting their hand on the bible?

It might be tradition, but it is not a requirement. Witnesses are sworn in without the Bible in courtrooms every day.

U.S. Constitution
Article II
Section 1
1.8 Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: -- "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
