The essence of a helicopter in the hover is that it does not move or rotate - it is in static equilibrium - and there is no axis of rotation. It means that the sum of linear forces is zero and the turning effects (couples/torques) are balanced.
But those couples/torques must be acting around a point to have created the rotation until equilibrium is reached.
